When was I transported to a parallel universe
where Christians are hateful, intolerant, armed and dangerous assholes? Maybe
it's always been this way and I just didn't get it. When I was a child, I
thought as a child, I guess.

Scripting Roger
The consensus amongst the gridiron cognoscenti
is that Roger Goodell (FTG) won't be announcing his decision on Tom Brady's
Deflategate appeal any time soon. No doubt he has his speech writers working
overtime on that announcement as he clearly has some serious tap-dancing to do
around the tattered Wells Report and the grudging acknowledgement by pigskin
pundits and bobbleheads that the NFL was out to get the Patriots and Tom Brady.
Perhaps worse for The Commish and his cronies is the fact they will soon have
to face the wrath of the rest of the pigskin world for boning it so badly once
Brady and the NFLPA have their day in Federal Court. This is a circle I'm not
sure Goodell can square. He's probably better off with a press release than a
stand up.
I have no idea what he will say but here's what
I'd recommend…

Deflategate Ennui
I've gotten to the point where I see the link,
a link designed to make me click because it either elicits a knee-jerk reaction
of outrage or sparks a glimmer of hope the NFL will finally awake from its
fever dream of a world where the New York Jets are playing the New York Giants
in the Super Bowl, but I just can't bring myself to move the cursor over it and
click. Call it Deflategate ennui.

Hearts or Minds
A frightening number of Americans are science
deniers. Evolution? Just a theory. Climate Change? God hugging his favorite
planet just a little tighter. Dinosaurs? Jesus ponies!
Should I be really be surprised that so many
people believe in their hearts that Tom Brady cheated?
Especially the ones riding Jesus ponies. I probably shouldn't have counted on them.
Hey, anybody got a cigarette? I'm thinking of
taking up smoking. I
hear it's like totally safe.

Send Out The Clowns
The circus came to town today and that's always
fun. Except for the clowns. I mean, how do they all fit in that little car?
It's unnerving. And what's with the sad-face makeup? I wish I hadn't mentioned
that. I'm going to have a hard time going to sleep tonight.
Anyway, isn't it time we got down to business?

On Further Review...
Why does the NFL have coach's challenge and
official review?
To get it right.
Why can't the same principle apply to the Wells
Report?

Trying To Get Better
So, lately I came across a couple of references
to the fact Rob Gronkowski wasn't coming off rehab for the first time in
several years. He felt great. It was only shorts and shells but Gronk
absolutely dominated mini-camp. Could this be Gronkowski's best year ever –
better than his 2011 season of 90 catches, 1,327 yards and 17 touchdowns? (17!)
Let's say he had an Elvis Year, 20% better than those career numbers: 108
catches, 1,592 yards and 20 touchdowns. (20!)
Those are crazy numbers but somehow they're not
crazy when we're talking about a healthy, 26-year old, Star Lord of tight ends Rob
Gronkowski. Remember, even in his slow to get started, 15-game 2014 season
Gronkowski put up an 82 catch, 1,124 yards, 12 TD stat line.
He's at the very peak of his inimitable powers.
He's ready to smash and dash.
The Big Gronkowski.
