Statements from and about David Diehl

Both the Giants and David Diehl (through the Giants) issued statements yesterday regarding his arrest for DUI on Sunday night. since the information was threaded throughout several versions of the article that appeared on the website during the day on Monday and then in today's paper, I thought I'd just postthem in their entirity here.

Statement from Giants regarding David Diehl:

“Obviously we are aware of the situation, although we have not yet had a chance to discuss it with David. Since it is an ongoing legal matter, we will refrain from comment at this time, although we will say that David has been an outstanding representative of this organization for the past 10 years, and nobody knows more than David does what is expected of our players both on and off the field.”

Statement from David Diehl:

"I've worked hard during my career to set a positive example, and yesterday I fell far short of this standard. I apologize to my family, my fans, the New York Giants, and the NFL. I made a poor decision that I sincerely regret, and, as always, take full responsibility for my actions."
