Alan, you are correct about fit and finish. Plus, With Nitro buying up all the competition ( Ranger, Stratos, Triton) the bass boat market is going to change.
All this share the wealth crap is getting to me. I wonder what winning score would have been reasonable to keep the coach from getting suspended. When will this spill over into pro sports. We have already ruined sports with insane rules....why not in lopsided scores. Maybe New England shouldn't be punished for using illegal footballs, but for putting up a big score on poor Indy.
These stupid examples have been all over in the high school ranks for a couple decades now, and I suspect the only reason it has not crept higher is because of one simple fact - money. They do fiddle with the violence inherit in the game...all this concussion stuff and can't hit here and there crap...soon it will all be scripted ballet in spikes with PlayStation crowd/audience interaction stupidity and will be totally unwatchable for people who remember real football (or any real sport)...it will be a gay new world and I don't want to have anything to do with it.
Oh, and about those footballs, no big deal to me...I heard they switched to backup balls in the 2nd half, NE still reeled off 21 points in the 3rd quarter, and even Indy admits the balls have nothing to do with it, they all admit they got their butts whupped. The only reason this is an extended news story is because of the folks who like to beat up Bellicek and Brady...
Frankly, I don't care about any of it, it bores me.
