How many games has Ronnie Brown sat out for his off season DWI?

While I agree that Edwards probably should have been sat for the game, I also think he needs to be treated exactly the same as the other players in the same situation and it is hypocritical to complain about Braylon Edwards and give a free pass to everyone else who has done the same thing.

Pro Football Talk has a list where they report charges against NFL personnel, here is the list since the start of August:
Quote:
9/21/10: Jets WR Braylon Edwards is arrested for DUI.

9/18/10: Ravens assistant coach Andy Moeller is arrested for DUI.

9/3/10: Colts DT Fili Moala is arrested for DUI.

8/30/10: Bucs assistant defensive line coach Chris Mosley is arrested for DUI.

8/17/10: Browns DB Gerard Lawson pleads no contest to DUI charges.

8/9/10: Colts DT John Gill is arrested for public intoxication.

8/8/10: Browns DB Gerard Lawson is charged with drunk driving and hit-skip.
