The comments section is great - with one particular from "peoplespigskin"
But remember, the thing that Tony Dungy sees as wrong here and not living up to the "representing the shield" standard is Rex Ryan's language.
I have a comment on this - so anybody that is offended by starting a thread with an opinion - my utmost apology.
I have two sons (of which I know for sure, and I know their names and ages) both of which I not only swore in front of them - but a lot AT THEM. F-bombs abalzing. And much to my surprise they are highly successful and are still ALIVE. (oh - I didn't just say that)

First off, Ryan dropping about 20 F-bombs in the first 5 minutes of that ridiculous first episode is what imo came off as phoney or staged. He was just forcing those F-bombs way too much, and I know because I'll drop 'em with the best of them. Im not passing judgment there, either. It just struck me as weak and a little forced on Ryan's part. We get it, Rex. Youre a wanna be sailor and ya think your team is good.
Getting to your point on Cromartie. I think youre exactly right. Dungy didnt say a word about the fool who's fathered 8 kids with 7 different women, did he? He gets all over the guy who slings some foul language around, but nothing at all about some worthless knucklehead with a half dozen kids scattered all over the country, who more or less will never really never know their own father. Its shameful. Disgraceful. Cromartie's already needed the Jets to bail him out of his child support hole. And its doubtful that'll be the last time he digs such a hole.
Obviously, Cromartie's the person who needs the mentoring. He needed about 15 years ago, more than likely. Just as his kids will likely need it a few years down the road. But hey, at least Dungy made his point that the big fat coach with the big fat mouth of the team with the big fat ego needs to clean up his potty mouth. Great job, Tony D. Making a difference in the lives of big fat blowhards one example at a time.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck." RAH
So Cromartie was willing to look like an idiot on national TV because he rattled his kid's names off too quickly the first time? I have no doubt Hard Knocks is edited to create storylines and drama that really didn't happen, but I think Cromartie is full of crap. I think he is a dumb indivual with a problem keeping it in his pants and is now trying to save face.
