We all know the scene. Vaughn slept with Dorn's wife INSISTING he didn't know who she was. For purposes of this discussion, let's say Vaughn is completely telling the truth and truly was unaware.
I have always wondered about this. What if YOU were in that situation. You're a single guy in a bar and some hottie comes over and starts flirting you up. One things leads to another and you go home with her. You have done NOTHING wrong. Yet your friend/teammate is really pist at you and on the warpath because you slept with his wife. But again, you didn't know so you have done NOTHING wrong.
Now let's say you're in that same situation. A friend/teammate UNKNOWINGLY sleeps with your wife. Do you have any good reason to be pist at him? Looking at it rationally, I really don't think you do. Next question: what would you do now? First item on the to-do list is to dump the wife obviously. But what would you do about your teammate? Would you slug him? Just not talk to him? Forget about it? I honestly don't think you have any good reason to be mad at him. Could you just forget about it and move on? Seriously, how would you handle that if you were in that situation? Be specific. -

If my friend truly didn't know that she was my wife I wouldn't be mad at him. Of course the wife would be gone and it might be weird for a while but if he was a good friend he probably did me a favor anyway.

Well if you are Ryne Sandberg, you retire.
Rationally speaking, Roger had no right to be mad at Vaughn, being as Vaughn didn't know. He should be mad at his wife, or himself for cheating in the first place which led to his wife wanting revenge on him.
But people aren't always rational in these situations. Plus, Dorn & Vaughn didn't like each other throughout the movie.
