I disagree.

I'm willing to bet the Chiefs and the Pats have harsh measures for people who talk about things they're not supposed to. And when the media keeps prying person after person and nobody will talk, the story tends to die. The Bowe importing story, in my opinion, would have blown up in any other market. I think most people have forgotten by now that it ever happened.

I gotta start using smilies. That was mostly tongue in cheek. I needed a reason to call the Broncos sinister bastards.

In reality, I think there's a time for openness and a time to keep your cards close to your vest. YMMV.
