Where is the outrage from the sports media on this. Benson admits to punching a bartender and gets away with it yet there is complete silence from the biased sports media.

The Pats should still receive a compensatory 2nd or 3rd round pick and James Harrison should be fined $50k.

He'll only serve a week on good behavior. So basically he spends his "vacation" in jail...
