Very interesting statistics there. I’m not surprised to see the Giants near the very bottom of the list of criminal incidents among players. They’ve had a couple of high-profile knuckleheads over the years (Lawrence Taylor and Plaxico Burress, for example), but they’ve always tried to steer clear of “problem children” when putting their roster together. For years the had been known to screen out potential draft picks simply on the basis of intelligence tests, psychological profiles, and a player’s attitude/demeanor.

Quite a few of their draft picks were team captains?

Placido was an idiot, but he only hurt himself when he shot himself in the leg accidentally.

Good for the Giants. Teams don't need to hire criminal types, who are essentially losers.
