Quote:I'd wager heavily that it was Blake's agent or publicist that suggested he knock down the rumors ahead of his event.


His agent benefits by polishing his image ahead of a contract year and his publicist benefits by attracting more Duval conservatives to his charity event.


It was the smart thing to do from several angles.


Considering his candor and the nature of the rumors that were spreading, I'm inclined to believe him. Not that it really bothered me anyway. His issues last season stemmed from lack of proper preparation in the offseason.

Cutting out a few weeknight beers wasn't going to help him.

Also for the record, I can assure you, Brett favre knocked down a lot of beers all week every week and he was fine...


Drinking beer isn't illegal or detrimental to a person. In fact studies have proven that having a beer or two a day can be beneficial. As long as these guys aren't getting tanked and making bad decisions, let them live. Jesus.
