    Umm, when did Tim Raines become a second baseman? And who is "Dale" Parker? And where is Pete Rose?

    It's not just about playing football. It's about being the kind of elite-level athlete who has gotten pretty much whatever he wants his entire life. Don't you think that some people who live that way have at least a somewhat higher tendency to do something illegal, morally reprehensible or both? Not all. Not even most. But enough that it is a concern?

    The all-moron team would have too many players to choose from.

    No because people are people. Are all politicians crooked? Are all cops immoral? Are all priest pedophiles? Of course not. I accept things on a case by case basis.

    Darryl Henley, probably mentioned.

    Charles Jordan, Ickey Woods, Irving Spikes, Art Schlichter ... I ain't got all night.

    One guy who should have done HARD time is Chris Warren.

    You yourself mentioned the sense of entitlement these guys are often raised with. You don't think that's an issue?

    How much of a hard-on do you think a cop gets when he sees the person involved in any of these incidents is a pro athlete?

    No one named Louis Polonia has ever played in the big leagues, by the way. Luis Polonia screwed a 15-year-old girl in a Milwaukee hotel room, though. I'm sure he's who you meant.
     
  9. Jamal Lewis at fullback?

    Had to find a spot for him somewhere. Couldn't leave him off this team.

    Thanks for checking in. Since you went so far as to correct the spelling of Luis, were you able to add a name to the team?

    Would like to see him give hockey a shot ...
