Which one of his offseason or on-the-field acts classify him as a thug? He walked out on the rookie symposium. Okay, not a good thing. He was accused and later acquitted of drunk driving....many of us here have been pulled over one time or another for that, perhaps. And the recent incident in Miami, well we just don't know all the facts yet, nor the outcome. But I think the media tends to paint a perception of who's considered a "character guy" and who's not. He seems to be a bit of an enigma, but I'm not sure he's a thug. If someone shows up at all of the OTAs in the world, goes to the Pro Bowl, gives great interviews and seems to be articulate but later beats on his wife, we'll say he has domestic issues...or he's a wife beater. Just because someone braids their hair and maybe has made some questionable decisions doesn't make them a thug.......just me on my little soap box tonight guys, no harm intended.

Some good points here. It's kind of funny how we spend all offseason bitching about players like TO and ST. Yet Taylor is at camp and TO is expected to show up for Eagles camp tomorrow....and yet Hines Ward, who most everyone considers one of the games "good guys", is a camp holdout.
But whatever, all I care about is that Taylor is in camp and ready to play...at least until Sept. 12th
