    We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Edward R. Murrow

    "Closed-door" apparently doesn't mean much for the NFL. Not to say that I think it is a great way to talk about your employees.

    It's a figure of speech, it's not meant to be taken literally.
    You had better pay your guild dues before you forget. You are 113 months behind.

    Reporters caught up to McNair later who said "You reporters are blowing this whole thing out of proportion, it's as if the monkeys are running the zoo."

    When you post a quote about something being "stunningly inappropriate" it looks like you are.
