you must disclose any items taken....i know this as fact, as i live out of a hotel 3-4 months every year.

sure, they'll charge an additional fee for the missing items, with a hefty "service charge" to boot.

I'm a traveler also and rarely do you need to 'disclose' items, there either gone or there not. Like i said earlier we don't know what went down except for some half-cocked story by an attention starved reporter.

hammer, how a hotel deals with a missing bottle of water isn't the issue here.

The issue is NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES, don't you see?

Whether they are hotel rules, team rules or laws, the point is obviously the same: EVERYONE has to follow the rules and EVERYONE has to be accountable.

It's not the $3, it's the MILLIONS invested in these guys that Mangini is talking about.

I'm not disagreeing with you at all.

Its a peice written by a Yahoo sports reporter going with only "a source".

What kind of credibility is that, right now i thinks its horseshit to put the story outthere and not tell us any details.

The principals you laid out are not being debated.

I wouldn't have wasted time handing out a fine. I would have just deleted the player from the team.

LOL, maybe he took it from Mangini's mini bar

and that is the next step....if it happens again.

The whole story looks like BS to me.

There is a big difference between being a father and a coach here. It's bullshit.

factual or not i like it. i hope he fines all over the place and puts all the proceeds into a kitty, like Free Parking in Monopoly, then spends it all on the community or some other worthwhile venture like tickets to combat blackouts.

seems a great way to have overpaid athletes inadvertantly contribute in a positive way, turning a negative into a huge positive. like involuntary team investment--they'll never miss the $1,700 anyway.

even if it seems nickle dime or like overreaction to some it's the message it sends=accountability.

Even if it was Josh Cribbs?

he admits to coming around to Josh now after keying in on him at WR and increasing his value to the team even more but just last year Josh was pretty expendable according to our host...so probably yes, even Josh Cribbs. seems no one man is bigger than Stan's team.

Does anyone else view this guy as the boy on the life raft paddling in the water in Jaws?

Can we fine Mangina for not scoring a touchdown today.

Only fair.
