This insane foolishness of expecting every player to be a pillar of the community, goody two shoes, and on and on is flat out stuff of ivory towering. 
I've worked with people who have never been in trouble with the law, got straight A's in school and yet were just lousy at their jobs and worked with guys who never seemed to stay out of trouble, flunked out in 9th grade and always got the job done right..
I'll take someone who is somewhat questionable at times, but can do the job right every time over the goody two shoes who couldn't pour piss out of a boot with directions stamped on the heel every single time.. lol 
Then again most of my friends have been arrested multiple times, but have fixed their lives after the fact..
You know..a lot of people would never give a stranger their spare change.  I'll give someone my spare change if they have a good enough bulls**t story.. That's entertaining and I'll pay for good entertainment.. 

I agree. Why do athletes and celebrities have to be "role models"? Whatever happened to just being taught what to do and what not to do by your parents or figuring it out yourself?
Anyway, character concerns should only be factored into these arsenal rankings if they impact play on the field (e.g. likelihood of getting suspended, causing personal foul penalties, etc).
