PFT: Pats' trade for Ojinnaka raises eyebrows

[Deus Irae]

While one would think that bringing in Corey Dillon would have put an end to this stuff, Florio is both a crap stirrer and a "moral" crusader, so seeing this on PFT shouldn't really be a suprise.

PFT used to be a daily read but now I'm lucky if I find myself there a couple times a month....sadly it's understandable.

Make it an RSS feed and sort of split the difference. That way you can read the headlines and decide if it's worth going to the site.

I actually used RSS Ticker for years but now I usually read Rotoworld Latest NFL Player News a couple times a day.

I don't see what's wrong with this article, the signing is curious...

A simple Wiki search brings up:

Christian Peter
While at Nebraska, Peter had eight run-ins with the law for various offenses such as threatening a parking attendant while his vehicle was being towed, trespassing, public urination, refusing to comply with police, minor in possession of alcohol, failure to appear in court, and allegedly grabbing a woman by the throat. He was convicted four times.[3] [4]

Most infamously, he was alleged to have raped Kathy Redmond [5], a freshman from Littleton, Colorado; two times in two days--the second with two of his teammates watching. Redmond didn't report it to police until after her freshman year. Redmond's parents confronted various Nebraska coaches about it, but Peter was never charged or disciplined. This inaction led Redmond to file a Title IX suit against Nebraska in 1995; the suit was settled two years later with Nebraska paying $50,000 and the other two agreeing to pay an undisclosed sum of money. Former coach Tom Osborne has since apologized to Redmond and the two have reconciled.[3] Recently, Osborne invited Redmond to speak to the football team about voilence against women.

In 1993, Peter sexually assaulted Melissa DeMuth in his dorm room, and also groped Natalie Kuijvenhoven (a former Miss Nebraska) in a crowded bar and told her how she loved it in an obscenity-laced tirade. He was convicted and sentenced to 18 months probation, and was suspended for a 1993 exhibition game.

Quinn Ojinnaka
In May 29, 2009, Ojinnaka was arrested for simple battery at his home in Suwanee, Georgia after he fought with his wife and spat at her during an argument over a female friend of his on the social networking website Facebook, according to a police report. Ojinnaka told to the police his wife tried to stab him with a pen, and she said he threw her on some stairs before tossing her out of the house, the police report said.[1] He was later suspended by the NFL for the first game of the 2010 regular season.

Hmmm... a rapist/molester vs a guy who allegedly threw his wife on some stairs after she allegedly tried to stab him with a pen?

What a dumb comparison.

Minor detail here. Pushed her against some stairs................not down the stairs.

Maybe, maybe not. This will be a matter for the law to decide, not the Belichick Detective Agency.

The only problem I have with the trade is that the guy can't play

Post of the Day candidate.

It's disturbing that these womens names are forever attached to Peters and the crimes he committed. There should be a law... Oh wait...

If the guy was engaging in legitimate self defense and it escalated too far, that's not the same thing as being a slimeball aggressor against women.

Now, many guys telling self-defense stories like that are indeed abusers, but I'm open to giving benefit of the doubt and so on in the ordinary way.
