The NFL Seems to Have a Lot of Really Awful People

No doubt there are good guys in the league (the Manning brothers seem nice enough), but boy, there are some real stinkers.

Of course this Incognito guy (his name is appropriate, since I had never heard of him until now) has never killed anybody, which makes him better than some in the league.

What’s interesting is this part of the story:

During last night’s edition of Football Night in America on NBC, former Patriots V.P. of player personnel and Chiefs G.M. Scott Pioli (who should be getting some credit for the talent he left for the new 9-0 regime in Kansas City) told Dan Patrick, ”I didn’t want [Incognito] coming out [of college], and I don’t want him now.” 

Former Bucs and Colts coach Tony Dungy echoed that sentiment earlier in the hour on The Dan Patrick Show.  Dungy explained that, when Incognito entered the draft in 2005, the Colts had him on the “DNDC” list, which means “do not draft because of character.”

Pioli was GM at New England in 2005, when he didn’t want Incognito. Which says something, since New England is the team that decided Aaron Hernandez was worth the risk.
