Washington Times - What's the Freddy Adu Defense?

[AAGunner3]

In the Washington Times' article, "Two New Problems for ACC" ( http://www.washtimes.com/sports/20040218-115932-8423r.htm ) Mr. Daly says the following regarding problems the ACC may face adding VaTech and Miami to their league. At the end of the article:

Williams' boosters are saying the kid deserves a 12th chance. He hasn't stolen anything, they argue, in 18 whole months, when he ripped off $3,800 worth of stereo equipment. The university is mulling its options and, if it's smart, counting the silverware. Vick's attorneys, meanwhile, undoubtedly plan to offer the Freddy Adu Defense. (I have no idea what that means, it just sounded funny.)



If he has no idea what it means, why put it there other than to possibly slander Mr. Adu and/or bash soccer? Or is there something I am not aware of regarding the criminal history of Freddy Adu?

It was a bad joke. Probably something on the order of "She didn't look 14" or however old she is. BigSoccer strikes again.

On the other hand, that Michael Irvin quote: "No. 1 AP, No. 1 UPI, No. 1 FBI" still cracks me up.
