It's going to be very interesting seeing the reaction of all these angry fans if Hill produces. That's all.
Oh, I agree that the casual fan will be willing to bend over and take it up the ass a few times after he scores his first TD on a return but holy shit, this was just a bad idea. [Reply]

It's uncharacteristic for sure. Easy cut though. [Reply]
I honestly couldn't care less what the character of the players are. Even the "good"character guys are often hiding a lot of baggage. (Marvin Harrison being the prime example here) The guy made a horrible life decision, but if he helps us win football games, then I really don't give a shit what he does/ has done in his spare time.
EDIT: Unless he continues beating women - then he'll be suspended and shunned from the NFL, and rightfully so. [Reply]
