TOM, PLEASE RELAX

by WCT, The Ship of Fools

The only thing worse than someone on their high horse, is a guilty person on their high horse.

As I'm sure you know by now, NFL Commish Goodell finally met with New England Patriots' former, um, video employee (?) Matt Walsh this week. With the revelations that the Walsh's tapes (I refuse to use that word that begins with "S" and ends with "gate") did not contain any video of the St. Louis Rams walk-through before they faced the Patriots in the Super Bowl, Tom Brady went on the offensive, indignantly ripping the media for using this sensationalizing the scandal to sell newspapers and fill airtime.

Granted, the reporter from the Boston Herald who originally reported the existence of the Rams walk-through tape was wrong to write that without any substantiation, everyone knows that. But for Brady to act smug about the lack of a Rams tape is a little like a guy being accused of killing five people, having it proved that he killed three, and then saying "well well well, somebody owes somebody an apology!" when the other two are found to still be alive. Tom, you still cheated. We just can't prove that you cheated in that particular game (not yet anyway). There is still proof that you cheated in several other games, including an AFC Championship game for crying out loud. So Tom, if you want to get pissed at someone, get pissed at your cheating coaching staff. Don't act high and mighty as if the media owes your team an apology.
