I found this ESPN article by Pat Forde on the misconception of Eric Devendof. The article is chaulk full of quotes from Devedorf saying what a great guy he is off the court and how he doesn't understand why he is hated so much.
Devendorf Deals with the Hate (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=4005943&sportCat=ncb)
This is the same guy who struck a female back in December and was ordered to be suspended indefinitely by a student body court. It was appealed by Beiheim and Devendorf. He was suspended for a grand total of two games. Oh yeah, he was already on probation for assaulting a different student last year.
This is the same guy who freshman year was told to watch his language on the court....by the Big East president. Last week, Devendorf prematurely celebrated a victory over UConn by hopping on press row and dropping a slew of F-bombs to the crowd (see below). I know emotions run high in those situations but please, exhibit some self control every once and a while.

This is the same unwed guy who has fathered a baby girl and said about the situation, "Obviously I made a mistake and I learned from that mistake. blog.syracuse.com (http://blog.syracuse.com/orange-segment/2009/03/eric_devendorf_the_life_of_a_s.html)" I feel bad for Madelyn when she googles her father and happens to read that.
Bottom line is that Devendorf is a piece of s***. Everyone should continue to hate him and Syracuse for allowing his actions to go unpunished. If you are looking for some defense from the caveman, let Devendork drop some knowledge on ya:
"The world is messed up already, and they want to hate someone who plays basketball?" he asked rhetorically.
Wow....you are so wise Eric. I would expect nothing less from a Communications & Rhetorical Studies major (now you can't make that stuff up).
