Saints lineman is really sorry that he was a jerk in college

Raise your hand if you never did anything stupid when you were young.

OK. None of you have your hands raised. That's either because you're human and you did do something stupid in your younger days, or because it would be silly to raise your hand because you read on the Internet that you should.

If you're in the former group, you've got something in common with Carl Nicks(notes), starting left guard for the world champion New Orleans Saints.

Nicks acted like an idiot when he was in college, but here's where he separates himself from most everyone else. When he matured a little bit, he actually went back and tried to make it right. Nicks visited Nebraska's campus Wednesday to apologize and make amends for the bad behavior he displayed while "attending school" there.

"Attending school" is in quotes because Nicks didn't actually do a lot of that. He admits he skipped classes and didn't have the work ethic he should've. The weekend before Nebraska's pro day, he even got himself arrested at a house party for "suspicion of being an inmate of a disorderly house and failure to dispense."
