re: Saints show interest in Ray Rice

You'd be hard pressed to find me 1 professional team with all guys of high moral character. Hell I guarantee the Saints got some now. Every team has a group of guys that are a little suspect. I don't think its reasonable to expect a professional team with over 53 players to have all character guys.

I'm not asking for high moral character. I though I made that clear.

Ray Rice isn't a "little suspect", and there is a vast difference between high moral character and beat your wife or girlfriend moral character. The Saints should be setting their minimum standard somewhere between those two extremes, and closer to the lower of the two for sure - but when it becomes hard to say "He just made some mistakes, son!" to my kid with a straight face then maybe the Saints should consider the impact it will have to their image since clearly by signing the guy moral character isn't an issue to them at all.
