I have no “horse in the race” so to speak, but my problem with football (probably should say sports) “heroes” like Brady, Moss, even Belichek is their morals stink, yet they get lauded by the press (AP awards) because they play the game well. I understand, in a way, because the game is what football’s all about, but it makes me sad to see kid’s idolize people like Brady whose personal life is anything but praiseworthy.
I totally agree. All athletes are humans and are subject to the same trials and tribulations as the rest of us. They just go through them under the media microscope versus the privacy of their own homes. Baseball players are just as bad (steroids notwithstanding) and don’t even start talking about the NBA.
Nothing would make a lot of people happier than to see the Pats get distracted and lose but it won’t happen this season. The stars are aligned.
