I
have a big dilemma on what team to cheer for in this year’s Super Bowl.
I
do not like the Seattle Seahawks….
They
have a snooty, arrogant, coach and he has produced a snooty, arrogant,
team. Appropriately, their logo features
a snooty, arrogant, bird. In addition,
Seattle had the audacity to steal the Professional Bowlers Association from my
hometown of Akron. I don’t bowl, so why
would I care? We don’t have that much in
Northeast Ohio, so when another city steals what we do have, we get resentful.
That’s why I believe Baltimore is the equivalent of Hell (yes, capital H).
But
as much as I dislike the Seattle Seahawks, I dislike cheaters even more ….
It
appears the New England Patriots tried to gain an advantage in their previous
game by playing with deflated balls.
This is disgusting on multiple levels.
Football is a very manly game, played by manly men, seeking to place an
inflated animal carcass on “special” areas of a field, and be awarded points. Men
will literally crash their skulls together causing permanent injuries in order
to move that carcass to its desired spot.
So to try to cheat by using a sissified ball is total unacceptable. You are not the “Pats”, you are the Patsies.
You
should not expect to penetrate the desired area with weak, squishy, balls. No, to score (in all areas of life) you need
firm, hard, balls that are shoved with brute force through the “plane of the
goal line”.
When
the game has reached its climax, deflated balls may be an indication of a job
well done. However, you should never try to actually play the game with weak,
flaccid, balls, because you are just not going to score. You are going to stall within the red zone, your
scoring drive is going to peter out, and you won’t even get a field goal.
Both
the Patriots coach and quarterback deny knowledge of the condition of their
balls. This is pure bull$#!+. I know this is a delicate and sensitive area,
but a man knows when his balls are overinflated, he knows when they are
underinflated, and he knows when things feel just right.

And
of all people, quarterback Tom Brady should know the importance of properly
inflated balls since he is married to super-model Gisele Bündchen. He should know that he needs to bring strong,
hard, balls to the game if he is going to score. I know from my extensive game experience with
super-models that they do not enjoy it if you bring soft, squishy, balls onto
their field. They will penalize you for
personal foul and the game will be over.
No, you need solid, plump, balls when dealing with a naked, eager, Gisele
Bündchen. I am starting to get inflated
just thinking about it.
The
NFL is trying to develop a procedure to make sure game balls are properly
inflated. It is easy to determine when
balls are overly inflated because those balls will appear bluish, however
determining under inflation is a problem.
My solution is to have NFL cheerleaders feel the balls before the
game.
These
ladies, as judged by their appearance, probably have much experience evaluating
ball strength and getting them ready for play.
In addition, any ball that is underinflated would no doubt gain some
hardness after being rubbed down by a cheerleader.
This
controversy has even caused concern for this year’s Lingerie Bowl. That league is also worried about proper
inflation and not just for the footballs.
I have offered to go to the game and personally make sure everything
there is pumped up properly to the leagues standards. After completing this job I would be willing
to stay and serve as a locker room attendant, because that is the
multi-tasking, helpful, caring, type of person I am.
Because
of this cheating and lack of machismo by the New England Patsies, I am going to
be forced to watch this game with the level of interest of a librarian watching
her only football game of the season at a Super Bowl party. Oh, maybe there will be some commercials with
cute cats in them. Perhaps I will try the spinach dip on some organic,
whole-grain, wafers.
I
can feel my balls deflating already ……
