15. I doubt if he'll get the money.
I'm sure his contract has a morals clause. Getting arrested for a felony involving dog fighting undoubtedly violates that clause.

11. Of course. Nike didn't just get their Tin Man heart.
They're worried about the publicity.

14. Replace "Nike" with "NFL" and say "suspended from playing".
The perfect NFL response, but again, it's the NFL.

13. Cool...
They still employ little kids to do the detail work.

Kind of like scraping the bird shit off the windshield of a Bush's limo, it does nothing to hide the asshole inside.
