I think in almost any professional sport, partying is part of the lifestyle of a professional athlete. There have been many rumors of player X partying like crazy and still showing up and performing their jobs the next day. Very often those rumors are leaked to get that player to be more responsible. What I will say is that most of the time these rumors, while true, do nothing to change that players behaviour, but rather hurt that team dealing him because they hardly ever get a player of that value back. A couple years ago a friend of mine here met Seguin at a house BBQ and got a pic with him, but not before he was asked to hide his drink in the picture (as most pro's don't like showing they're drinking in pictures). Apparently he was known to party around here, but I really find it hard to believe he did it to that extent, considering he likely goes out with his group of teammates. Eriksson is a good player who'll fit in nicely on Dallas, as is Morrow, but Seguin and Peverley are good starting pieces for Dallas. As long as the back issue rumors are bunk, I think Dallas wins this hands down. Jimmy Nill wouldn't deal for a party boy in the strip club capital of the world.
