TROUBLED PLAYERS HAVE TENNESSEE LINK

We mentioned on Saturday that Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who was indicted earlier this week for causing a crash while driving his Ferrari at a high rate of speed, and Browns receiver Donte’ Stallworth, who on Saturday morning struck and killed a pedestrian while driving a Bentley, both attended the University of Tennessee -- and were picked two spots apart in the first round of the 2002 draft. (Jeremy Shockey was the meat in their draft-day sangwich.) A reader points out that two other players who wreaked havoc on other people’s lives while driving motor vehicles also attended Tennessee. Infamous Rams defensive end Leonard Little, who claimed the life of Susan Gutweiler while driving drunk in October 1998, played college football at Tennessee. Former Cowboys defensive back Dwayne Goodrich, who caused two hit-and-run deaths in 2003, also played at Tennessee. It’s most likely a coincidence. But the gravity of the consequences tells us that it would make plenty of sense for someone in Knoxville to explore the possible existence of a something other than randomness.
