OT: Congrats Cromartie on your 8th child

Nothing much Goodell can do on this one. It's baby mama is his wife...

She's ok with him having 7 kids by 6 other women? She either has a heart of gold or she's digging for some.

As for Goodell, he tried to go the David Stern route and get "tough" on the NFL's image. Problem is, the NFL's image has always been one of violence and outlawish behavior, just by the nature of the game. I never thought it was a problem, unlike the drug issues were in the NBA. He started a crusade against thuggery based on a blind need to assert himself as the master and commander, but he never had the savvy to do it intelligently.

So now he's painted into a corner. Suspend people based on arbitrary criteria, or be a hypocrit. Neither one deserves respect.

This reminds me of the old game show "You bet your life" with Groucho Marx as the emcee. Groucho's guest was say Maria. Groucho asked Maria how old she was and Maria said she was 30. Groucho asked if she was married and Maria said she was happily married. Groucho then asked Maria how many children she had and Maria said she had 14 wonderful children. It was there that Groucho asked Maria if she loved her children and Maria said "I love my children very much". ...Groucho said.."well Maria....I love my cigar...but I take it out of my mouth every once in awhile!

Digger. Wannabe model and video eye candy girl with a daughter out of wedlock of her own... He likely fell behind on one of his child support payments last year because he bought this one a multi carat diamond necklace to solidify their relationship... The pipe dream of the lifestyle as a pro players wife is ascompelling for girls who grew up poor as it is for players who did...

Thuggery may not be a problem for hard core fans who don't care what it takes to win. It is a huge problem for a league intent on growing it's market well beyond the hard core.

Obviously Cromartie can't keep it in his pants. Also known as the BigBen syndrome. He will be broke by the time he's 35.

He's been named in at least 5 other paternity suits as well. Dude can't even read the instructions on a condom box.

I have a lot of problems with Goodell but this ain't one of them. I've never considered thuggery a "given" for NFL players and so far, he seems to be handling that end of things quite well. As mindless as Cromartie is, I couldn't see the league stepping into that until the law or court system get involved.

Hopefully the JEST can continue to forward Cromartie child support payments.

What an idiot. The sad thing is, most if not all of these children will grow up without a dad.
