I believe he is the only sports' writer to have complete and unrestricted access to the Baltimore Ravens. I think he had sinilar access to the ACC basketball teams when he was researching that book.
Don't be so quick to poke fun at him just because you disagree with his conclusion.

As for the "trust but verify" If you haven't remembered by now it was RRR.

But he was speaking of matters political with an adversary.
To carry that to a personal relationship is really extreme. I am sorry that you have been hurt so deeply.
Maybe I'm lucky, but you could wave a $ million, or two, or $ten million at my wife and she would not betray my trust. I understand that's rare, but I treasure it.

Thanx.

Actually, it is more of a personal obsevation that leads me to the conclusion that people are going to screw up at one point or another.

The only person who never screws up is the guy who never does ANYTHING.
