I wonder why I still am so angry about Tom Brady's debacle. I sat and watched him snicker, sneer, smirk and otherwise act like he has to answer to no one when he was being questioned (by Bob Schieffer?) in that interview with his fans in the audience the other day.
I wanted to slap him silly, with his non-answers, especially when he said he hadn't read the report on him yet...what, after three days? Right. He would be backed into a corner, play dumb, then wave at his fans who would clap and howl for him. At least it shows what a not-nice-person jerk he is.
But, why am I still so mad every time I hear his name? It is because this whole thing is teaching young sports-minded kids it is the way to go to lie and be sneaky... That it's worth trying to pull off illegal or unethical acts because what do you lose if you get caught? A little slap on the hand, no biggy. It will all blow over...
Maybe not in this case...his appeals will keep him in the public spotlight and maybe enough people will see who he really is and how damaging these things are to society.
I don't care for sports all that much except for Winter Olympics (curling especially), the super bowl and its commercials, and maybe the last playoffs right before the game. No, it is the lessons that our little people...and their coaches are learning...more importantly, what they are not learning.
Enough ranting for now....and no, it's not because they beat my Seahawks!
