Have you ever had a moment where you suddenly realize that someone close to you never evolved as a human being? Maybe it was a friend from high school who was still telling the same jokes and making the same stupid mistakes eight years after graduation. Or maybe it was an uncle who got another DUI in between his third and fourth divorce. We’ve all had one of these “non-evolving” people in our life.

Hi, happy holidays. Welcome to our 2008 NFL Christmas party. Thanks for coming. So glad you could make it. No worries about being late – you’re not the only one. We’re still waiting on Plaxico.

Have you noticed something about the NFL Conduct Policy this year? Maybe how, it’s working – masterfully, in fact?
Players are not going to stop getting in trouble – human nature won’t allow it. Any collection of 1,600 young adult males is going to have a few bad apples. (Numbers show that the NFL actually has fewer bad apples than American society on average, if we are to believe the arrests numbers.)
