I guess I just have to draw the line somewhere, and LJ is it. I can handle a guy who makes juvenile mistakes or is even a real jerk off the field. I have no problem with petty jerks so long as their crimes are "victim-less." TO, or Romanowski come to mind. When I see, however, a series of repeated mistakes over time, disrespect for women, disrespect for teammates and coaches, and generally a nuisance to society, I take issue with that person being a part of the team I have been a lifelong fan of.

I am no boyscout, nor am I looking for the players to all be Kurt Warner types. There are certain things that just can't be ignored, and for me, this is one of them. Any man capable of beating or abusing a woman is a pathetic human and no one I want near the Redskins.

Well, the NFL is just like any segment of society. If you take a sample of 53 men there are going to be drug users, alcoholics, gamblers and unfortunately an abuser or abusers of women. It is just naive to think otherwise.

Like I said earlier, and I have no doubt that our coach and GM have told him, if he messes up he is out. I am not expecting any problems. Larry doesn't have very many stops left.
