Virtue? No, that they're not. No choir boys are they.

Well, Shockey is often too hyped up and that gets in the way of his game and Burris is often the opposite and not hyped at all and seems disinterested in the game. But, I wouldn't put them in the same category as someone like Owens.

$35k is pocket change for him. He will sulk for a couple of days then when the next media spot light turns on, he will be there.

Are you kidding? He'll happily spend $35K to get into the media spotlight. Didn't you notice that as soon as Tony Romo got into the headlines TO ran to the cameras to allege spies in the locker room, and then spit on an opponent?

Trust me, the cancer named TO is already spreading among the Cowboys.

why the hell should anyone be fined for spitting? People spit all the time! I spit! Who cares if it's in a game, spitting is not like starting a riot.
