I took some small bit of perverse pleasure when I saw my least favorite NFL Quarterback hoisted on his own petard in the headlines of the Ft Worth Star Telegram and the Dallas Morning News. Golden Boy Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady has been caught with his hands in his pants so to speak. In last year's AFC Championship Game between Brady's Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, Brady and his equipment man played with the balls leaving them under inflated, giving Brady a slight edge in throwing the ball in the cold temperatures. Basically he cheated his way to another Super Bowl which he won only due to the worlds most incredibly stupid play call in the history of the Super Bowl. However, I digress. Brady has been suspended for 4 games with out pay, the Patriots have to pay a $1 Million fine and Belichick walks away unscathed to plan for another day.
I doubt Tom and Giselle will be missing any meals due to the suspension, but it might (and should) cost the Patriots in the W-L category and Play Off Potential. I actually think the Patriots should be barred from this years Play Offs. This slap on the wrist shit really is ridiculous. If you get caught cheating in the military, they kick you out. In baseball, if you get caught cheating or gambling on the games, you get fired. I don't see why Belichick and Brady should be any different. Oh that's right, they have the SB Trophies, they can do no wrong, oh and they aren't Gay. So it's all good. (excuse me while I return my breakfast to the earth). If Michael Sam were a cheater, or a wife beater or even a druggie, he would be playing in the NFL. Brady is a cheater and he is playing in the NFL. There is something seriously wrong with this picture. All I know is Tom plays with the Patriots balls and he is in the NFL. Michael plays with Vito's balls and he is not in the NFL. Go figure.
If you want to read all the dirty details, you can download the .pdf of the full report here or read Jim Buzinki's (of Outsports.com) cliff notes on deflate gate here or why Coach B sees this as an opportunity not a disaster here. Bottom line it is always, always, always about the money. Those who have and control it keep it and don't let anyone they do not like, agree with, or who refuse to have sex with them even a snowball's chance in hell of ever getting their hands on it. C'est la Vie.
We continue Ensemble Week today with the Music of Beethoven. Beethoven, like Mozart before him, was a master of the intimate chamber ensemble repertoire. Today we are showcasing one of his particular strengths, the String Quartet. Performing for us today is the Borodin Quartet, down below you will find their recording of Beethoven's String Quartet Opus 127 and 130. You may join the Boys of Borodin over on my tumblr for Beethoven's String Quartet Opus 132.
Then due to my random moodiness, we have a randy lot of Random Hotness posted down below. Meanwhile over on my tumblr, check out the Route 66 AYCE Buffet, Your Hottie of the Day! Thanks for the visit, see you again soon. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
