Without data to back this up, and general population data is insufficient when you're talking about the narrow world of professional football players, claiming "odds" in either direction here is just a waste of time.

Given the information provided by the former NFL players who have come out and reported on their experience, I think one out of 50+ is pretty good odds.

Try 1/10th of 1%, MAYBE...

That section of the population you refer to has grossly inflated it's numbers over the years. Keep telling a lie often enough, and get the idiots in the press to buy into it, and this is what you get.

Last I heard is that the Chiefs are going to release LJ, maybe an option for the Pats considering the injuries to Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris and the disappointing play of Maroney.

Only way i'd want that is if it's for the league minimum and his ass gets cut if he even looks at someone funny

Too many players are saying ignorant things via twitter. Redskins rookie linebacker Robert Henson did and got in trouble. So have others. Larry Johnson's may of been the worst though. His career is pretty much over either way though. Honestly LJ has always been overrated.
