“Football-gate”, I think is the name of the alleged scandal Fox News has trumped up against the New England Patriots on the cusp of America’s most religious event of the year in these days’ of ObamaAmerica, the Super Bowl?
Why does Fox and others active in this professional football world, its press and even advertisers, enjoy piling on one particular team for footballgate?
Why are other NFL coaches so silent about this alleged ‘football gate’?
I’d like to know the lines of attack the footballgate charges against the Patriots in order of occurrence….Who really wound up first ratting publicly on adjusting some miniscule amount of air in a football in order to play the game BETTER, MORE PROFESSIONALLY, AS PROFESSIONALLY AS POSSIBLE, if indeed that is the cause of footballgate?
Head coaches in the National Football League are not equally dumb, I should think! Some are, however, better coaches than others, more rational, better organized, better as teachers, better assistants, and so one. Does anyone aware of things NFL for a moment think that the footballgate Kelly and O’Reilly at Fox are bloviating about suddenly was born in Foxborough, Massachusetts the other day?
Let’s put footballgate into some perspective.
It’s raining in the middle of a NFL football game. A quarterback, it is alleged, is less able to throw a football as accurately in the wetness of the wet day than when throwing the football midst a blazing sun or a cool dry breeze. It is alleged that if one takes a breath of air away from the same football during a rainy-day game, an intelligent quarterback, one who wants to play his best in every game in which he plays, might have a slight advantage in maintaining control of his passes over a quarter back who is too dumb to chance the experiment or simply does not have the ability to do so.
My son and I have had season tickets to local Minnesota Vikings games for nearly twenty years. The Vikings are losers of the perennial type…..So are the New York Jets, a team located in the same conference as the most dominating team in football for more than a decade, these very New England Patriots. Our quarterbacks as well as those of the Jets over recent years haven’t either the skill of play and/or the ability to exhale a breath of air from any game football in order to play the position of quarterback better……and therefore fail to offer the fans a better played game, win or lose. Isn’t the primary purpose and goal of the NFL to produce the most professionally played game each and ever Sunday, etc?
Who is dumb enough to think that folks at the New England Patriots are the only coaches, players not stupid enough, anti-fan enough to play any professional game without the proper amount of breath of air in a football needed to provide the fans, all fans, the best quality of play in every game football possible?
I am wondering if the Kelly-O’Reilly bloviating noise and being so determined to rise against the Patriots have a more sinister side. They are New York, not New England people…..New York Jets people tired of their Jets as losers, are they stirring up a hornet’s nest to rid their conference of the best coached team very likely in the history of the NFL?
One might come to think these two Fox stars are becoming sneaky Democrats….God forbid!
