I asked I was looking for more info on that story, thank you.

That being said, it fits everything else I've heard about it, most likely it happened and she changed her story to protect "her man". Sadly most women who do this, continue to get beat and sometimes killed.

The Patriots cut a top draft pick who had (if I remember correctly) threw a woman down stairs in college.

The Red Sox got rid of Cordero.

Plain and simple, some things are more important then sports, but if you want to focus on the sport, it's to make money, which involves image and having a wife beater on your team doesn't give you a good image.

So, you can make your snide "Why haven't the Red Sox interviewed you for the GM spot" and hopefully you feel the same way if someone hit your wife/sister/daughter.
