Miroslav Klose is an accomplished soccer player who has scored plenty of goals as a member of the German national team. Sixty-four, to be exact. Needless to say, the guy knows how to legally score without cheating.

In a recent Italian Serie A match against Napoli, Klose had quite the ethical challenge after he scored on a hand ball that the referee didn't catch. But instead of vehemently denying any wrongdoing, Miroslav approached the ref, confessed that the play was illegal and the goal was eventually disallowed.

Man, could you imagine if the Seahawks' Golden Tate went that route after what went down on that infamous Monday night game? We may still have replacement refs. You know what, maybe Tate did the right thing after all.
