Hardly a day goes by anymore without some well-known sports figure doing or saying something stupid. University of Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino, married and a father of four, was fired for screwing around with a girl and lying about it. Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen was suspended for 5 games for saying he loves Fidel Castro. New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton and defensive coordiator Greg Williams were suspended for a year for running a big-hit bounty program. And many others too numerous to list.
It makes one yearn for the golden days of yore, that wholesome, simple time when our athletic heroes were role models and paragons of virtue.
