Fake Facebook pages and the NFL Draft

Who among us does not have a Facebook page or a MySpace page and who out there does not tweet on Twitter. We are in a world that revolves around social networking and a vast amount of technology. Well apparently the NFL is stranger to Facebook and MySpace, we have heard about players tweeting during games and even Shaq tweeting that he would not mind Mark Cuban signing him next season for the Mavricks. Now the NFL is friend requesting players that teams are looking at to draft this season. Certain teams are making pages that feature a very good looking female who is a huge fan of every player looking to be drafted. How do you become friends with this girl, just click yes and she is your friend. What is really happening is that woman is an NFL team checking up on a player they want to draft to see what kind of person they are. What a genius idea, I have been doing this when I hire people for well over two years, not ethical you say; why not? These pages become public to your "friends" and they can see everything that you put on there; pictures, quotes, feelings. If the Arizona Cardinals could have seen Matt Leinart partying do you think they would have drafted him to be their franchise quarterback? Or what about Lakers center Andrew Bynum at the Playboy Mansion, does not look like he was to hurt.
Look I am all for these players having a good time, most of it is legal and we have all done it. I also have no problem with these teams and companies checking up on these players because they are paying someone $30 million and they do not even know if they can play. So if you get a "friend request" from Bella Belicheck you might want to make sure that you know her first.
