However, they are not alone, Jets, Bronco's Seahawks, Eagles, Panthers, Packers are all teams that come immediately to mind as "teams" with mostly good guys. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of NFL players are appreciative of having been blessed with talents that enabled them to work very hard to get to where they are. These players tend to be family men that give much back to their own families and the community. Of course there are thugs, criminals, drub abusers, wife abusers, malcontents and jerks in the NFL, just as there sadly is with all of society. It is up to the NFL ownership, management and the players to weed out these a/holes for their own sake and the sake of the NFL as a whole. I think the new commissioner is doing just that. The NFL looks pretty good to me as far as positive role models set for our youth and a game that can be enjoyed by all.

They don't talk to the media. They are introduced as a team. The guys that take the longterm view stick around (make more money overall, have greater team success). The guys that leave have those self-serving agents, and the guys that stay have agents who aren't just looking for fake big money contracts to bump up their egos. Their loyalty it to the team and their teammates, and it's about the least selfish group in sports - the QB won't even make a commercial unless his receivers or O-line is brought in.
