I think he should do time, for a long time. I think he should be lathered in blood and thrown into the dog pit with the dogs. Nah, I don't think he *really* should be thrown into the pit. I do think he should do supervised community service at animal shelters. I further think he should be banned for life from the NFL.
The latter depends on what Roger Goodell says. Paul Tagliabue might have put the hammer down on him. The late-Kennesaw Mountain Landis, baseball commissioner in the early 1900's, who was famous for banning eight members of the 1919 Chicago White Sox, definitely would have banned him.
