Heatley was also seriously injured himself as a result of the crash and spent most of 03-04 rehabbing.

The death in that case was of his teammate Dan Snyder. Sad story.

Not to be callous, but that story isn't nearly as sad as the woman being killed by Little. A couple of buddies getting drunk and driving and one of them dying is nowhere near as tragic as taking out an innocent bystander.

Oh, I 100% agree - and that's why I think Heatley didn't deserve any punishment from the NHL as a result, whereas Little should have been punished. Snyder wanted to see what his friend's Ferrari could do.

Has Tank Johnson caught on anywhere after the Bears released him?

No but there is no reason for anyone to pick him up yet, he still has the suspension coming and if someone waits until after week 1 to sign him then they wont have to guarantee his salary for the year.

Tony Adams drink driving spent two months in prison came back to captain his team and country.

Lee Hughes causing death by dangerous driving just got out after three years signed by league two Oldham was at Prem WBA before and was being touted for an England cap. Yet to make an appearance for Oldham.

Duncan Ferguson three months for headbutting an opposing player during a match straight back into the team like nothing happened.
