Notable NFL Controversies
In September of 2007, the New England Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick were investigated for videotaping a New York Jets practice session. In what was called "Spygate," Belichick and the team were fined and lost a 2008 first-found draft pick.ESPN.com: Belichick draws $500,000 fine, but avoids suspensionAtlanta Falcons' Pro Bowl quarterback Michael Vick was indicted in July of 2007 and charged with crimes associated with dog fighting. Vick was indefinitely suspended by the NFL and sentenced to 23 months in prison, plus three years of probation.CNN.com: NFL Suspends Vick Indefinitely
Perhaps the most notorious former NFL star to find himself behind bars is Pro Football Hall of Fame running back O.J. Simpson. He was acquitted in the criminal trial of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, in 1994. Simpson, however, was found liable for the murders in a 1997 civil trial. A separate trial began in September of 2008 after Simpson was indicted on charges of armed robbery and kidnapping, among others, related to a September 2007 armed robbery in Las Vegas. Simpson was found guilty on all counts.The New York Times: O.J. Simpson Arrested on Robbery Charges
