Remember Leon Lett’s blunder in the Super Bowl? And Thanksgiving? Today he is in the news, but for something much more noteworthy. Please check out my new article, and let me know what you think. Thanks, Michael

Andy, I've always contended that I can never dislike a player so much that I couldn't support him if he could contribute for my team. With the news that Pat Bowlen is now finally looking to trade Jay Cutler, I can't help but look at my Dallas Cowboys as a possible suitor. And that now has me questioning my original beliefs, if I at some point just couldn't accept a player due to disdain. What do you think about this?

Let me know what you think if you get the chance, if not no worries.
