I was just wondering where each person draws the line? I’ve heard a lot of fans say “I don’t care what a player does in his personal life as long as he can play football”. So, if Randy McMichael or any other NFL player for that matter was available and they were a top talent. Perrenial pro bowler. Would you want that player on your team if he were a rapist? Murderer? Child molester? If you see video of the player running from the cops after being busted on “to catch a predator” do you think to yourself “what a doucebag” or do you think “wow, he must run a 4.4 40, pick up the phone Tangini”? Again, just wondering where folks draw the line. What crimes are overriden by great football talent and which ones aren’t?
