They were bound to address it, but I actually though the crew did a nice job of making it clear that the reason he was a controversial pick wasn't that he hit a girl 4 years ago, but that the video came out just before the draft.
The implication being, of course, that the image-obsessed NFL would have happily drafted him in the 1st round if there wasn't video evidence all over the news. And, IMO, it was almost an endorsement of the Bengals for being brave/stubborn enough to draft the kid.
