You're right on with Rice too. Just look at the difference between Hardy and Rice. I suppose I'm part of the problem. If John Lackey is starting game 7 of the WS, and Chapman comes in to close it out, I'll be the biggest hypocrite.

That was me that said it, haha.

The only team I don't withhold criticism from are the Cowboys. It seemed like they were collecting awful personalities for a while there. I can accept when a team signs one guy like a Chapman, Reyes, etc, because its really just part of sports at this point. The most successful teams out there tend to have 1-2 sociopaths on them. Just look at Jerome Harrison for the Steelers.

But when you get to a point where you're making a habit of signing sociopaths....you've gone down the wrong path and deserve all the criticism you get.
