If y'all haven't heard some pretty despicable comments in the stands, or seen them on forums (including surly), then I don't know what to say.
@TwiceHorn made a salient point before I could: we know Beard's girlfriend was completely off the rails in NYC and there was no move to fire him for that. It was only when it got physical between her and Beard that the suspension and ultimate firing occurred. Sark's wife fucking around on him is not a reflection on him. Half of married couples experience infidelity. It's unfortunate but it is true. As far as Sark's loss of sobriety goes, which doesn't appear to be corroborated, I encourage people to talk to addicts you know about the daily grind. Beyond that, even if he DID go to rehab is there any reason to believe CDC didn't know?
I agree that Sark doesn't deserve another raise. I can't say if any feelers he had out there about the NFL were about more money or just an attempt to maintain control of the OC position and play-calling. I don't really care, it ain't my money.
