Default Keeping young athletes out of trouble

Santonio Holmes has yet to play a game for the Steelers, but he is averaging one arrest a month since being drafted in the first round April 29.

Holmes had been charged with disorderly conduct over the Memorial Day weekend in Florida. He's facing charges of domestic violence by assault and assault in connection with an incident last Sunday in Columbus, Ohio.

Holmes apologized in a statement released by the Steelers Tuesday that read, in part, "I understand that being a Pittsburgh Steeler carries along with it the demands for responsible behavior off the field."

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry, a former standout at West Virginia University, has been arrested four times in the past six months, most recently on charges of providing alcohol to three underage girls. Previously, Henry had been charged in separate incidents with drunken driving and speeding, pulling a pistol in downtown Orlando, Fla., and marijuana possession.

Counselor saw Holmes' trouble coming
"Add it up -- no money, poor family background, three kids already -- something's going to happen."

This is an interesting article on how it could have been obvious that holmes was a troublemaker from the gate

I think they should have all these young athletes spayed or neutered, it keeps animals out of trouble(according to Bob Barker).

To be serious, this is a real problem, they should defer the first big paycheck until all rookies undergo several hours of counseling and then defer the big money until after their first year. Put a deferred signing bonus, and hope the guys mature in that year.
