And then...a voice of reason...
In another AOL article about the NFLPA's response to Roethlisberger's accident (once again, sorry if the link doesn't work):Describing Roethlisberger's serious motorcycle accident on Monday as unfortunate, Vincent [Troy Vincent, Buffalo Bills safety, president of the NFL Players Association] stressed there is only so much the NFLPA can and should do to limit players' freedoms.
"You don't want to tell a guy what he can't do and what he can do," he said. "All you can say is, `Take advantage of this window of opportunity. Be smart."'
But the responsibility is on the individual, he said.
"Sometimes, we believe that that won't happen to us. I'm the same way. There are certain things that happen to other people that we just believe, `That won't be me,"' said Vincent, a 14-year NFL veteran. "But as a player, we have to take most of the responsibility, and we have to make wise choices."
Smart guy. Let him talk more often.
