A Dallas jury has sentenced former Dallas Cowboy Dwayne Goodrich to seven and a half years for the hit-and-run killing of two men on a local highway in January. The two men were attempting to help pull a man out of a burning car. Goodrich is out on $150,000 bond while waiting for an appeal. One of the more disturbing elements, however, is that Goodrich has told his main attorney that he's been contacted by "six or seven" NFL teams interested in giving Goodrich a tryout.

WHAT?!? An NFL player with a criminal record? I've never heard of such a thing. And teams are interested? Has this world gone mad? Someone call someone!

Seven and a half years? Does that include regular season AND post-season? Seriously though, too bad for everyone involved, especially the good samaritans that ended up victims. As for teams still being interested in him, he's not the only sketchy free agent likely to be signed.
