I'd beat his ass, then prosecute. I've accepted that fact that there are many asshole players out there (NBA/NFL/MLB/MLS/NHL/etc) and are human like everybody else. Which is primarily the reason I never put them up on pedestals like many fans do. I don't want their autograph, I don't care if they are going to attend this club I'm visiting, I don't even care if they are sitting next to me in a restaurant. I just want them to produce come game day and act like non-retarded civilians on the outside.

Totally gonna name drop here, but my mother gave me a football autographed solely by London Fletcher for x-mas (as well as a photo of him + her to prove it) and you can believe me when I say that football and picture will be one of the treasured Redskins-related artifacts for the rest of my natural born life. London Fletcher embodies everything about what a role model should be, and I have no problem giving him the props he deserves for that.

As far as the whole "players of questionable intelligence" thing goes, I wouldn't put any player on a pedestal that didn't deserve it. I'm sure there's a dickhead or two on the Redskins right now, and if I knew who they were I'd probably pull a SmootSmack come gametime and root for the plays they make, but feel a pang of guilt on the inside for rooting for an asshat.
