I\\\'ve got a question about the current categorization of the page. I actually rather like the \\\"Notorious\\\" category- it keeps guys who are much more known for their off-field actions apart from lists of guys who are known for their play. But there is weird subjectivity to it. Until recently, Kaepernick was on it for his activism, and there are still a few players on that list who didn\\\'t do anything \\\"notorious\\\" other than fail on-field but weren\\\'t drafted high enough to be busts. It feels weird to group those guys in with the majority of players on that list who are on it for cheating or committing violent crimes. And then there are the players like Jim Brown who have done worse stuff than many of these guys but you couldn\\\'t imagine leaving off the running back list.

I\\\'m thinking about adding a note to the category, like the one on the \\\"Draft Bust\\\" list, that clarifies what a \\\"Notorious Player\\\" is for the purposes of this page- a player whose off-field actions surpassed their on-field accomplishments in the public imagination to such an extent that they define that player\\\'s narrative. I\\\'d then consider moving players like Peterson and L.T. back to their position categories while retaining the information about their legal, personal, and moral trouble. I\\\'m curious what ya\\\'ll think, though- would it be better just to rename the category to \\\"Infamous Players\\\" or leave a note that explains that this is a broad category?
