Your post just speaks volumes about you and the company you keep. No, if my friends were cheating on their wives I would NOT keep company with them. Acting like "getting a piece of ass" on the side is just commonplace and acceptable is a pretty sad state of affairs (no pun intended).
Anyone arguing that off-field actions have nothing to do with the game have their head in the sand. Character is inextricably linked to every facet of an individuals life, on the field and off. It's no surprise that a dishonest cheater in his personal life ends up being a dishonest cheater in his professional life.
What a sad commentary on our culture that winning a game is valued above all else, at the expense of integrity and character.
Well stated.

Be honest with yourself -- if Belicheck were in Washington with the personnel he has in New England, doing in Washington what he's doing in New England, you'd be dancing in the streets. ... But I don't think anything will happen there until your owner, who is reliving his childhood, finally says goodbye to Coach Gibbs, just as Jones said goodbye to Landry. ... The fan base, understandably, has great affection for Gibbs, but in the end it's just nostalgia. ... What happened in Foxborough yesterday, in terms of how the Patriots played, is what happens in the modern NFL. ... Wake up and deal with.
Carbo, just to get an outside perspective...why do you think Gibbs needs to go?

Excellent argument. The logic is just scintillating.

The company I keep?? All of these guys are very good people. They don't commit crimes and they are good fathers and outstanding citizens. They have just had some one night stands in Vegas. Is it right? No. Am I going to end friendships with people I have known for 15 years cause they had an affair? Hell no.

Dude, if they are cheating/have cheated on their wives, they are not good people, they're scumbags.. Good fathers and outstanding citizens don't cheat on someone they've pledged their lives to and risk it all for 39 seconds of pleasure.. If their character isn't solid enough to resist a one night stand in Vegas then it's time to take a long look in the mirror.. Sorry for the morality check.. Now back to football..

I think your post pretty much speaks for itself - not much else to say.

Good fathers don't have one night stands in Vegas and they are not what the majority of society would consider "very good people".
Please dude. Just stop. Your moral compass is obviously way the F off course.
