john h said:I really do not care much about all these details of what he did or did not do. What his contract says, etc. I am interested in what is best for this team at the end of the day. Will we be better off by taking the money? Will the consequences of taking the money be overridden by other factors such as perception or losing the player? I have no idea. All I want is for us to be a better team by what ever action we do take. NFL players for the most part are not roll models and let us not pretend they are or we are going to straighten some of them out. T.O. is T.O. Randy Moss is Randy Moss. Let us not climb up on some high moral mountain and pass judgement. Do what is best for the team and I can live with it not matter what it is.
I am afraid, that at this junction of the thread, we must agree to disagree. That's pure hockey puck! You know it and I know it.
Now, I'm not removing any family, moral or ethic responsiblility from parents, however, Yes, every player in pro-sports is a role model. ( to a degree). Doesn't make it right or wrong, but they are.
I agree bout passing judgement, though personally that would be my perogative, and also agree on doing what is best for the team.
