Hmm.. At first glance, pretty disgusting and disturbing. But I do feel bad for him that his life changed based on something stupid that was consensual in high school. Haynesworth stepped on someone's face, and ran over someone in his car- yet we paid him 100 million dollars.

Still, I can't see us reforming our image by having the Washington Post headlines saying we're hiring sex offenders. The headlines don't have room for nuances, and are unforgiving. I'd say that's more the Raiders or the Bengals.

Then again, a good player can transcend headlines - Mike Vick was almost the MVP last year, and is being considered for a Madden Cover after being in jail 2 years ago...
