mind you, i'm not offering an excuse for peppers' play this season. merely an alternative perspective from which to view it.

There is no excuse for "slacking off" in the NFL. They are paid an unreal amount of money to produce on every snap. They only actually "work" (if you want to call it that) for 3 hours on a Sunday or monday. Most of the time "practice" is a joke to most of these guys. So you mean to tell me, he can't suck it up for 3 hours a week and play hardcore even though he's getting paid more than the president of the USA?
If he is that tempermental, I don't want him. What happens when he's asked to stop the run, will he run to corner and cry?
