Hey Lurker!
The only thing surprising to me about Carmel getting in the ASG is that it was Stern who put him there! Otherwise, it was just another case of getting rewards despite bad behavior, a la Shawne Merriman of the S.D. Chargers (although I will be the first to say that the steroids one takes are worse than the nose one breaks). No one gets more second chances than a sports superstar - thank God for the 22nd Amendment! LOL
