Could care less if Kraft gets his rocks off in massage parlors, he is widowed and lots of guys do.
Cheating the game of football is another story.
If the bracero program is true, I am disgusted.

Beginning in World War II, the Bracero Program brought Mexican laborers to the United States to remedy wartime production shortages. ... Braceros worked long hours for low wages in difficult jobs that separated them from their families.

There was an article in the Reader a while back on Spanos' catering farmworkers during the Bracero program.

http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/topic...n-farmworkers/

After WWII, Spanos would go down to Los Angeles County to recruit farm laborers at the behest of Stockton area farmers. As a reward, the farmers gave to Spanos
the concession of providing food to the migrants working on their farms. They gave Spanos $1.75 per worker per day to feed them....standard for caterers working in the Bracero program.

During his first 6 months on the job, in 1951, Spanos netted $35,000 in profits (equivalent to $300,000 in today's dollars): $1 dollar per laborer per day in profits, providing them a diet of bologna sandwiches and beans. The farmers recouped their money by subtracting wages, the farm workers having little in the way of alternate food options. By 1956, Spanos was the largest caterer to migrant farm workers in the region, and netted a grand total of $ 700,000 (1956 dollars) from his operations. Spanos of course was not alone in failing to provide farm workers with a half way decent diet. $700,00 was a fantastic amount of money back then.

Carlos Polk hired as Bears assistant STs coach.

I remember him. He made most of his contributions on special teams with the Chargers.

Good for Vic
dude was drowning in pressure and it effected his professionalism in post game interviews.
I respect his coaching abilities enough to hope he stays out of division.

Andrew Whitworth announces retirement.

Was rooting for the Bengals, but am happy that Donald got his ring. That man is a baller and kept motoring through good times and bad. Congrats!

I wonder if he really retires now that he has his ring - I actually would not be surprised, though he clearly has a lot of gas left in that tank.

Can't picture him retired, same goes for Brady. Think Donald will be playing for another two years and expect Brady to "un-retire" next year.
