i thought he came out and said he did it almost immediately after the game as well

Fair enough. We just disagree on the value of his actions afterword.

Sure, he came up after the game but by that time I am sure it was all over the Jets sideline, the Miami sideline and the airwaves. Everyone knew exactly who did it [If I was the owner, I'd have had the guy off the sideline and in my box sooner than pronto].

The only time he could have acted w/out the influence of outside pressure was immediately or very nearly immediately after the act. Very shortly after that, anything he did had some level of outside pressure and he did only what he "had" to do in the face of that pressure. So, does he get credit for not concocting some implausible lie in the face of incredible pressure to do the right thing? Okay. Some. A tiny tiny bit - He didn't make his original despicable act worse.

But, if that's the standard for "being a man" about our actions, we are setting the bar pretty damn low.
