Monday Rant: What's With Our Sports Stars?

Former Cal star Marshawn Lynch is the latest athlete to be busted. Does he deserve any special treatment because he's an NFL star? Or should he be held to a higher standard?

That's not the bad part. The problem is when they get behind the wheel after a night of partying and put lives in danger  — theirs and ours.
