Once burned, twice shy doesn't apply

Brandon Marshall of the Denver Broncos and John Calipari, the mens basketball coach at the University of Kentucky, have something in common.
They don't learn very well.
Marshall's case (he of the repeated accusations of violence against women) isn't all that unusual among highly paid college graduates who don't have an ounce of brains. Instead of blaming his teammates for not supporting him after his acquittal on the most recent charges, Marshall should take some steps to correct his behavior. That's where the "I in team" comes into play.
In Calipari's case, his Memphis team had to surrender 38 wins from the 2007-2008 basketball season and its Final Four appearance. Why? Because someone took an entrance exam for one of the players. This is the second time in Calipari's coaching career that mysterious exam-takers have popped up to save his bacon.
Hey John – did you ever stop and think someone might actually find out what you're doing is not on the up an up? Or did you ever stop and think?
