FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS, PART 十七

SUBLIME:

Major Tom Grounded

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled 2-to-1 that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady must serve the four-game suspension given to him by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for his part in "Deflategate" and for lying to the Commissioner and destroying evidence. I think Brady should have been given at least a year just like New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton got for his part in "Bountygate".

However, at least he was slapped down for his arrogance of thinking he was bigger than the integrity of the game and four games is better than the nothing he thought he had won when a lower court judge had ruled in his favor saying Goodell had deprived Brady and his supermodel wife of "fundamental fairness".

EVEN MORE SUBLIME:



I bet you didn't know that there was a side judgment that came down after the press rushed out to be the first to report on the comeuppance of the Gisele-proclaimed greatest quarterback in the history of the NFL (I think Johnny Unitas, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning have other ideas about that).

When the court cleared out Mrs. Tom Brady (Gisele Bundchen) was dragged up before the bench and was ordered to ride through the streets of Indianapolis on a horse naked from the airport to Lucas Oil Stadium for being an arrogant rich bitch.



A side note to Ms. Bundchen (how arrogant is that not to take her husband's name) is she is now a retired supermodel. She announced on Jimmy Fallon that is has given up the runway and is looking for a job. Look below Scores from Chicago says their dancers have supermodel looks, so there's a good place for Gisele to start looking even though she is a bit on the old side, but she is comfortable being naked in front of people. If that doesn't work out I've got a few toilets that need cleaning in the interim - naked of course.

RIDICULOUS:

Draymond Green About To Go Off About Inappropriate Question

This has nothing to do with the NFL or the Packers, but then again "Deflategate" had nothing to do the Packers either, but I found this the most ridiculous item of the last month and for different reasons than you might think.

At the presser after the Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets in game four of the NBA Western Conference Quarterfinals playoff series, a reporter from China, of all places, (they are really attempting to take over the world one sport at a time) asked Warriors forward Draymond Green to equate the play of the Rockets with the flooding in the Houston.

His question was "Draymond, here’s an interesting question. Last year, you visited us. Game three, no flood, you win. Game four, there was flood, you lose. This year, you visit us, game three, there’s a flood… you lose. Game four, there’s no flood, you win. Does that mean …"

Well, to be honest, that is a deep (no pun intended) question and being a sports reporter who at times digs to find something new to ask an athlete or coach instead of just the same old shit I applaud his attempt. However, no one and I mean no one thought of it that way and within an hour he was fired.

People, get a grip. Tell him you think it's a stupid question or maybe the most stupid question ever asked ala New Orleans Saints coach Mike Dikta, although I don't think so. It seemed to have a basis in fact with his point being the Rockets were distracted because of flooding, so they lost.

Stupid questions are part of the business. I've winced at time when student reporters ask off the wall questions or somebody (and it might be me at times) can't come up with a Pulitzer worthy question, but to have him fired is way too severe. So that is why I think this is RIDICULOUS and not the asking the question.

DRAFT DAY SUBLIMENESS:



I love the NFL draft, but to go to Chicago to attend was a bridge too far for me and many other Packer Backers, but not all of them. One Chicago business that made a big push to get the NFL draftniks trade was Scores Gentleman's Club only 15 minutes from downtown Chicago.



Here's their Top 5 List of reasons to watch the draft with them.
5. Many TV’s—Jumbo, top of the line Flatscreens to watch all the action of the draft. Every seat has a great view of the televisions.

4. Beer Beer and more Beer–grab a brew or two from our two fully stocked bars, or have one of our cocktail waitresses cater to your beverage wishes.

3. Comfy Seating– Kick back, and take in the sights from the most comfortable seats in the house.

2. The exotic dancers– DId we mention we have over 100 of the most gorgeous looking women on the planet right here for your viewing pleasure.

1.The women! It’s totally worth mentioning twice, because the talent is tops here. Girls are proud to dance at Scores with their supermodel good looks, and killer flexibility. You will fall in love with our ladies.



Sounds like a plan to me, but sorry Tina Turner I sincerely doubt love has anything to do with it.
