but my point is an NFL team is not going to fire a capable GM because he has a spat with his wife.
at the end of the day, business is business.
to this point there are no allegations of physical abuse or anything that would bring the 'code of conduct' policy into the discussion.
as far as the 'moral' dilemma goes, Bill Bellichick, Bill Parcells, Sean Payton and a number of other coaches/front office people, etc. have had affairs or nasty divorces and that has not affected their employment status.
None of those guys were known problem drinkers, none of them were accused of boning ESPN reporters who suddenly seemed to have unprecedented inside access, and none of them had to have the franchises write apologies for their spouses.
No one cares if Scott is diddling the college girl who lives up the street.
There are two issues here:
1. It's an ESPN reporter. And it seems possible that he has been leaking like a sieve to her.
2. Everyone has acknowledged that the dude was a potential time bomb when he came her. He drank his way out of two jobs and still openly drinks in front of the press. His bride of something like a year is making seemingly angry drunken tweets at ESPN reporters. The team probably should figure out if he's going to pull a Shooter Flatch and wonder onto the field during a Monday Night game.
