When Dolphins V.P. of football operations Bill Parcells said that he doesn’t want “thugs and hoodlums,” maybe someone should have asked him to define those terms.

Parcells has signed former Broncos receiver David Kircus, who a year ago (allegedly) beat the crap out of a guy who asked Kircus to leave a party.

Kircus thereafter passed a polygraph test in Denver, but the questions posed to Kircus presumably focused on whether he acted in self-defense.  There was no apparent dispute as to whether the end result was Kircus beating the crap out of a guy.

So if that’s not the action of a “thug” or a “hoodlum,” we’d love to know what is, primarily because I’m currently trying to instruct Florio Jr. on how not to be a “thug” or a “hoodlum,” and I could use some help establishing the boundaries for him.
