Excuses....It is pretty clear that the Patriots are so self absorbed that they can not take a couple hours (that they committed to) to honor the troops coming back.
If anything the Patriots should be asking the Soldiers autographs.
This is the Patriots true colors....
Most of the players aren't even here moron, probably why there was a problem. They do a ton for the soldiers--check Larry Izzo out sometime and educate yourself.
Why would you even take the bait?

Visitors are unaware that players like TE Ben Watson went to visit the troops in freakin' Iraq in the off season.
I'm not blaming the players in any way. I am sur ethey would do what they could and certainly what they were told to do. I fault the organization for not making it a priority.
Did you even read the freakin article you're basing your opinion on? The Guard forgot to even contact the Patriots.
If I were a fan of this team^ (like JimmyCrackCorn, fitting name by the way), I would be up other teams butts as well.
I made some of the more important parts a little more noticable for those of you that have problems with basic comprehension skils.
I hadn't watched the Steelers this year until yesterday, and I noticed that Najah Davenport was on your classy team

I know it's old news, but it shouldn't be "swept under the rug" so to speak
Yes Dookie plays for us, but you have to admit its funny. I mean if I was caught doing half the stupid stuff I did on college, I could easily be in his situation. There have been worse offenses. I'm not defending it, but it's really no big deal.
To take your point further, the Steelers are not perfect. We have players who has been arrested etc. Every team is a shade of gray on these issues. I do however believe the Steelers take the high road more often than most. They have old school ownership which is willing to support people who get caught doing things in the catagory of "boys will be boys". That said, if you get is real trouble, they will cut you under most circumstances.
The one area I believe the Steelers do not compromise on when it comes to character is ON THE FIELD character. If you are selfish, lazy, etc, you are not welcome. See the Plaxico Burress situation...
