Sports, Lies, & Videotapes

Spies...federal agents...and multi-million dollar transactions. This isn't your latest blockbuster action film, this is a day in the life of the NFL. No wonder it's the most popular sport in the western hemisphere. You know you're having a bad off season when losing the Super Bowl and a chance at immortality is what u wish people were talking about. Sorry Bill Belichick...spygate isn't going any where any time soon. You have no one to blame but yourself.

A wise man once told me that if you don't learn from the past you're doomed to repeat it. Obviously this man isn't in Belichick's fav 5...and for that matter neither is Barry Bonds, Michael Vick, or Roger Clemens. If they were he would have gotten the memo...DON'T CHALLENGE THE MEDIA...YOU WILL LOSE!!!! The Giants front four is a walk in the park when compared to a blood thirst reporter looking to cement his legacy at the expense of yours. It's not fair but it works both ways. I have never heard a player or coach demand an apology from the media for being crowned the "next big thing". They ride that adulation straight to the bank. You cheated Bill and you got caught simple as that. It doesn't mean that you're the scum of the earth, it just means that you got a little greedy and careless. Don't allow your pride to sabotage the legacies of everyone....be a big boy and take one for the team while you still can. Admit you were wrong and that the players had nothing to do with it. Shift the focus back to your championship caliber team. The media is quick to forgive....besides...everyone loves a good comeback story.
