Do I abhor what he did? Absolutely. But he paid the price both through the courts and from his employer and the NFL. By all accounts he has turned his life around. His new contract and position as starter reflect the progress he has made.

And no, I'm not an Eagles fan.

Sorry.. .When I referred to a full moon..... I was referring to myself in even being in this conversation. I realize that no one will change anyone's opinion on this issue. That certainly wasn't a reflection on anyone else. I'm sorry it was misunderstood.
