Deflation (and Sunday's game)

edited January 2015 in Off-Topic
Ted, if you'll forgive my mixed-metaphore, I think deflating the football to gain an unfair advantage in cold rainy weather amounts to dirty pool..

I believe your Patriots should forfeit the game Sunday.

    @ Maurice:

    FYI: Ted has already announced that the Patriots will defeat the Packers in Sunday's game.:)

    The money aspect, eh? ... But think of the wrath that would descend on the Patriots organization should thousands of fans with expensive tickets have to sit in an empty stadium.

    I mean ... Letting the air out of the football ... How lame!

    Idea - Fans might instead view a video about "ethics in sports" on the Big Screen.

    Overall, what a wonderful circumstance to present to the young folks of our country to help continue the high moral ground already established by Washington, D.C. and those elected and unelected there; who help set the path to higher ethical values with each passing year.
    Especially in the light of the low wages many professional sports players attain in this country.
    Tis a constant challenge, to the young ones here, including the neighborhood kids; to offset such things to maintain that ethics and morals do have value.
    Makes me feel all warm, fuzzy and proud to be a veteran. Oh, wait; that was a war against other folk's ideals during a civil war in another country.

  • As the saying goes. It's not if you win or lose, but how you play the game. Yah right !!
    Derf
