    The only team that I know of who was both dysfunctional and successful were the 1994 Lions. They had a bad locker room and managed to win, just like the NY Mets in the 80's. But it is rare. Most teams do not want to build around players with questionable character, if you want to call it that. I just don't understand why not make the move earlier.

    I am sorry, but I would be very careful to cast these players as questionable character. SM did just that and the following day to the high road after cutting them saying he didn't want to say anything because the players had families. I just don't buy it.
