Here's my dilemma: as a lifelong Chicagoan, I have to make a choice before SB 45: whether to root for an otherwise excellent team that continues to employ despicable quarterback Horny McRapist or the hated Packers.
Dilemma solved. They can be both thrown under the bus, and for good reason.
From Jezebel (don't ask; I got this link via Deadspin):
Back in the summer, police were called to a resort in Wisconsin Dells that housed several Green Bay Packers players in response to two women who accused the men of holding them down while multiple players sexually assaulted them. When the women changed their story, linebackers Brad Jones and Clay Matthews, guard Josh Sitton, safety Khalil Jones, fullback Korey Hall and backup quarterback Matt Flynn were cleared of charges. A seventh player, Brandon Underwood, is currently under investigation. Football fans rejoiced at the news that, once again, those bitches were lying about rape and their football gods could go on playing America's game sans distraction. Because ladies lie about stuff like this all the time, right?
Add to this my more than vague recollection of several 80''s-era Packers players getting caught - or at least strongly accused - of doing much the same thing over 20 years ago, and you have to wonder if there really is something in the water up there after all.
Or maybe it's just pro jock sociopathy at work. After all, some pro athletes outgrow their high school days. Others obviously don't.
