No. I'm serious, not series. And I'd like to have all the facts before I presume guilt in anything.

Doesn't Tom DeLay ring a bell. And it's still the same when people assume guilt before all the facts are on the table.

Some backtrack:

Irvin pleaded no contest to felony cocaine possession on July 15 and was found guilty and sentenced to four years' probation, fined $10,000 and ordered to perform 800 hours of community service. He was also suspended for five games in the upcoming NFL season by NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue for violating the league's substance abuse policy. "You serve as a highly visible symbol of the Dallas Cowboys and the NFL," Tagliabue wrote Irvin. "While that visibility affords you substantial benefits, financial and otherwise, it significantly increases and magnifies the negative and detrimental impact of your misconduct on the league, its teams, its players and its fans (Richard Justice, "Cowboy's Irvin Draws Five-Game Suspension From NFL," Washington Post, July 25, 1996, p. D2)."

But Delay never played for the Cowboys. Wasn't he with the Oilers before they moved? /sarcasm>
