But still ...

one bowl game (against a team that had FOUR first round picks no less) and the kid suddenly may not be an NFL QB?

How can you go from being talked about in the top three picks, to suddenly barely making the first round?

" Ryan's Express: My question is although the Pats are getting very good players, why are they taking players with such questionable character issues?

Wal-Mart suffered a similar embarrassment with its attempt to open its PR "war room" to a writer from The New Yorker.

The resulting piece was a chronicle of the Wal-Mart's PR staff's barely disguised disdain for the author's existence.

Even worse have been high-profile missteps such as Sony and Wal-Mart attempts to use fake blogs to create the sheen of openness, blatant manipulations of the very tools of transparency.

"The trend line is definitely toward transparency," said Dan Gillmor, director of the Center for Citizen Media.

"Some companies will do it earnestly; others will fake it." Trouble opening up There are a few ways to read these foul-ups.

One is that they represent the very real tension in today's business environment between...
