I don't understand why it is that professional athletes don't ever learn from one another. They are like the people that keep raising their voices when speaking to someone that does not speak their language. It does not matter how loud speak, if the person does not speak your language they do not speak your language.
Professional athletes, most notably right now Roger Clemens and Jonathon Vilma, continue to believe that if they just keep screaming at people that they didn't do it people will eventually believe them!!?? All of the Saints Brass, and the Defensive Coordinator that not only orchestrated the bounty, but did so with multiple teams, has given the league a complete description of the program, and now Jonathon Vilma wants the world to believe that the guy in the middle of that defense was not a part of any of it.
I am not saying that I think the commissioner of any sport should have both the first and last word on anything, and I am definitely not a fan of this commissioner's attempt to take the intensity out of football, but when you are wrong you are wrong, and Jonathon Vilma is wrong.
I have to believe that if Roger Clemens knew when he first denied using steroids, or second, or third, that he was going to end up going to trial and that he might go to jail, that he might have considered either telling the truth to congress, or at least not saying anything, but now the whole is just too deep.
Athletes need to learn from those that came before them, drugs, alcohol, women (other than their wives), and performance enhancing whatever. I just don't know why these guys never seem to learn from others mistakes...then again I never did either.
