Darnell Dockett Apologizes to the Children for Showering Online

Darnell Dockett now understands that taking a shower as it's beamed across the tubes in real time was a bad idea. Last week, the Cardinals defensive lineman used his Twitter account to notify the world that (sic'd), "Ok so I just got a $1k = A stack BET that I wouldn't take a shower on ustream lol ok soo as soon as I see the money its On 'NO MEN ALLOWED' "

And Tuesday, after realizing his error in judgment, Dockett apologized. Via the Arizona Republic's Kent Somers, who also writes that Dockett "quickly received counseling from coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves about the proper use of social networks":

"It's a learning experience for me," Dockett said. "I've never been in trouble, I've never been in the news or on gossip sites or things like that. I apologize to all the kids, everybody in the community who looks up to me. I apologize to my team. I walked by each player individually and apologized. I got to do better things than that.

"Y'all will never see me on no news or media, anything like that again, unless it's for me trying to take somebody's head off."

Whisenhunt then offered up his nomination for Understatement of the Offseason: "Obviously, we weren't real excited when it came out ... We don't discourage our players from having interaction with our fans. In fact, we think it's important. But there's also a right way and wrong way to do it."
