It's ****ing FOOTBALL. It's not national security.

The public may scrutinize all they want. But without any credible information, it's all rumor-mongering. Look at the Weis situation. It seems pretty obvious to me that the two really didn't get along, but we still don't have a credible source vouching for it. So now anyone who claims that the two were fighting looks like a gossip columnist.

I feel like in the NFL, it's so easy to bait players into saying something stupid. The only bad that comes from being secretive is that fans don't get all the information. The bad that comes from being open is that you may fuel a distracting fire that shouldn't have been fueled in the first place.
