No Comment
Will Brinson thinks there is something strange about the Jordan Schafer suspension, because Schafer's side won't talk about it beyond, "No comment." I have two words for Will; Roger Clemens. If Rogers reaction to the Mitchell report was to have his lawyer say, "We have no comment on that," Roger saves himself a whole lot of trouble. Writers and pundits, unable to get the Rocket on record, would instead examining McNamee, trying to determine his truthfulness. Given that he lied in a NY Times article, and given that some of his allegations were true, it would have been a mixed bag. There wouldn't have been that much scrutiny of Roger.
So Shafer is playing this right. If he was wrongly accused, he can work this through proper channels without having the media poke into every part of his life. At least he's listening to his lawyers.

I think 'don't allow your client to incriminate themselves' is pretty high on the list of lawyer rules.
