His agent Terry Watson said, “Brandon is showing himself to be a high-character guy in the Boston community and has the promise of being a very good player.” He commented that the tape is “an embarrassing situation for Brandon” and “certainly doesn’t reflect the kind of person that he is,” according to the Boston Herald.
The sex video was shot while Spikes was in college and began to appear around the Internet only after a $1500 offer to Deadspin.com was turned down.
As of this afternoon, the NFL was investigating the situation to determine if it’s a violation of their personal conduct policy.

Derrick Rose thought it was going in. So did Leandro Barbosa, who shot it. Instead, Brazil’s attempt to tie at the buzzer fell out, and the United States remained unbeaten, though no longer unchallenged. A world championship won’t come easily for this young team — if it comes at all — so the Americans believe their 70-68 victory over Brazil on Monday will help them in the later rounds.
