perhaps TO is only human?

Well, TO may or may not be human, but at least TO may be smart enough to not let people take pictures of him when he's ripping the bong.

Also, TO gets treated harshly because he's a crybaby and throws his QB under a bus at every opportunity (and also his coaches and other teammates). Its hard to like a guy who acts like him. All me me me. I think he deserves everything any anything that comes his way.

Pro athletes get caught with pot all the time. Usually it is by a police officer, so they have to face some punishment. But the public doesnt make a big deal of it. Phelps didnt get caught with anything. It was just a picture. Its not like he was arrested. The drunk driving thing was wrong, but everyone (ESPECIALLY 19 year olds) make mistakes.
