National Football League: Rae Carruth could be looking at just a four-game suspension if released from prison, and it would be served from week 4 to week 8. National Hockey League: Noone has ever received more than a 23-game suspension in hockey history. Matt Johnson only received 12 games for ending Jeff Beukeboom's career.
