    Well...is there any integrity, or does everyone just say what they want?

    For example, Robert Kraft, owner of the Patriots said yesterday that they offered Wes Welker more money then the Broncos did. At the same time, Wes Welker stated that he disclosed the Broncos offer to Kraft and asked him to match it, which he stated Kraft replied NO to, and ultimately that the Patriots NEVER even made him an offer.

    Who's telling the truth and who's lying to save face with the fans?

    It is standard practice to lie pretty much everywhere in the real world.

    It's all about saving face, nobody wants to be labeled the bad guy but would rather be portrayed as the victim.

    I think lieing is very rare though, except in pro sports.
