There's got to be a more professional manner in which he can present himself around the media.
Being himself, blah, blah, blah.
The NFL is a brand. There's such a thing as brand image. People (fans) spend millions on merchandise, sponsors spend millions in advertising, networks pay Billions in television rights.
