Don’t ever say that that professional athletes have it easy. When Joba Chamberlain finally had his day in court for drunk driving charges, he was forced to suffer all the same consequences as any other old Joe Schmoe Nebraskan.  He lost his license for sixty days, and we all know how hard it can be [...]
