I read somewhere that he played College ball with Pot Roast.

Yeah, I'm not much on the beating up girls thing either but from what I saw, the woman getting hit with the strap was well clear and came at him with attitude, he (if it was him) was already in strike mode and anyone who came at him was going to be hit except perhaps a little kid that doesn't intimidate.
Not particularly defending the guy, don't know all of the circumstances to judge one way or another but I didn't see anyone backing off and if a woman sticks her nose in there she should not expect to do so with impunity..... at least not-now-a-days.
I'm a little surprised you guys are playing apologist. Not only did the guy participate in a pretty nasty assault on a female, but he was by all accounts a divisive force in the locker room. I don't care if he had 39 sacks and is Pot Roast's lover - you want to root for this kind of guy? It's not always about the football - at least not for me.

This is probably the thing that concerns me the most :
The NFL is still investigating the Miami incident.
Junior Galette: high motor ... and questions for Washington Redskins - Washington Redskins Blog - ESPNWhat are they getting in him in terms of a person?
Triplett: That’s the big question, isn’t it? They should get the benefit of Galette being humbled by his stunning fall from grace in New Orleans. He’s got a lot of good qualities -- his passion being No. 1, as coach Sean Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis both stressed after his exit. He has a huge personality, for better and worse. He won a media appreciation award two years ago and was elected captain by his teammates.
Clearly, there are maturity issues, though. He can be brash and outspoken and had some clashes with teammates. And the pattern of off-the-field issues was most disturbing.
Were there signs of issues before this past season? When did it turn bad for him?
Triplett: There were some of the same issues back in college, when Galette also got kicked out of Temple and wound up going undrafted out of Stillman. But the Saints had been impressed enough by his ability to overcome those issues to sign him to a four-year, $41.5 million contract extension just 10 months ago. GM Loomis said he thought the arrow was pointing up, and that it was a good deal at the time.
The problems really started after that. According to sources and reports, Galette’s big contract and being elected captain may have gone to his head a bit. And the Saints’ losing season makes stuff like that fester – as I wrote this morning, Galette was hardly the only locker-room issue for the Saints last year. … But like I said, the off-field stuff was especially disturbing since it showed a pattern of poor decision-making.
Maybe the Saints would have offered him a second chance under different circumstances, but not at a time when they’re so intent on improving the team’s culture and character.
