After two arrests in a month's time, the Lions have had enough of Aaron Berry.
Per the team's official site, Berry's contract was terminated on Monday due to “personal conduct which adversely affects the club.”
"We have repeatedly stressed to everyone in our organization that there will be appropriate consequences when an expected standard of behavior is not upheld," Lions president Tom Lewand said in a statement.
Berry, a third-year cornerback, was charged with three counts of simple assault on Saturday. Prior to that, he was busted in June for suspicion of DUI, joining a disturbingly long list of NFL players who've allegedly driven drunk this offseason.
Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2010, Berry figured to enter training camp as a starter opposite Chris Houston, but his rap sheet ultimately forced the club to go in a different direction.

I’ve written all offseason about the knuckleheaded, entitled and invincible attitude of NFL players during their time off. It seems every day there is a new report about a player being arrested and what, if any, discipline the league will bring down upon them.

Aaron Berry was cut from the Lions today for breaking the golden rule–a man’s talent must outweigh his foolishness. Berry was popped for simple assault but drug abuse offenses are far more common than violent ones. Berry received his own DUI charge last month.
In a show of something akin to transparency the NFL has released a list of NFL players arrested thus far in 2012. I have...
