Mike Shanahan

Washington Redskins head football coach Mike Shanahan was talking with reporters after giving his reasons for sitting down quarterback Robert Griffin III for the rest of this season. He said, “I’m trying to be as honest as I can, and I don’t normally do that.”

It’s refreshing to hear such honesty about being dishonest…I think.

I suppose Shanahan meant that he wasn’t always as forthcoming as he could be with reporters. Coaches often withhold information and opinions when they think it could benefit their team to do so.

Christians should be very careful to speak truthfully at all times. Honesty is always the best policy.

“Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.”—Ephesians 4:15.
