Why he might be annoying:

    After his rookie year in the NFL, he was used only sporadically.
    When he went on the lam, there was also a warrant out for his arrest for assault against his girlfriend.
    He was also facing a court hearing in Florida for cocaine possession charges.
    Authorities in Florida and Pennsylvania wanted to question him about suspicious fires that destroyed homes he owned in both states.
    After he was profiled on America's Most Wanted, he called the Philadelphia Inquirer and complained about being 'put in the same league as rapists and murderers.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He set 11 school records at the University of Delaware.
    Despite being drafted in the 9th round, he became the Lions' starting quarterback his rookie season.
    His attorney, Kenneth Lemoine, claimed, 'Jeff was a great guy. He just associated with the wrong people at times.'
