Off-field incidents I've seen:
Mauled by a tiger = funny
Punching wall in fight w/ wife = not funny within 12 months of both the Brett Myers incident and the Elijah Dukes incident
I understand he didn't punch the wife, but even if the exchange between the player and his wife was purely verbal, but when he punches the wall the nature of the exchange now has a physical element. It's scary to be involved in something like that. The implication is that the fight could turn physical, and in the context of husband and wife, this means domestic violence.
Couldn't we just have something nice like "Caught a cold rescuing drowning children from river"?
