1. That was an odd story -

how they let him go without any actual charges - just an investigation of alleged something or other. Must be much more behind the scenes that isn't in the press yet.

3. Or the fact that this isn't his first brush with illegal allegations

At some point, even if there's no fire, you can't keep putting yourself in a position to be in the appearance of trouble.

...In late August...McDonald was accused of assaulting his pregnant fiancee in a part at his home. Unlike other players, he continued to play for the 49ers and, in early November, the district attorney said no charges would be filed because of insufficient evidence, conflicting accounts, the lack of eyewitnesses and the lack of cooperation by the alleged victim.

They didn't even TRY to stand up for him this time, and what's worse, the victim doesn't appear to be his pregnant fiance. Why didn't they simply suspend him -- counting salary cap money?

4. You wonder if he would have been fired had the team still been in the playoff hunt
