What do you care how he landed women?

Because it may not be women. And that IS an issue even though it's not PC to say it.

Also, people aren't bent out of shape because ESPN overvalued him. People are bent out of shape because ESPN has basically acted as his publicist since the scandal broke on Deadspin. Their defense of him and Notre Dame as a complete "victim" rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, not to mention that it defies common freaking sense to think that he had no idea at any point. Go back and read some the shameless dreck that people like Ivan Maisel wrote about him. It is obvious to everybody that for some reason (presumably Tom Condon and access to his clients), ESPN has a vested interest in making sure that he is seen as a first-round talent.
