Super Farce LI(E): Additional extentions of remarks...

• My anonymous bullshit detector was resting off after drinking a bit than was planned Sunday night.  My friend got up about 6:30-ish or whatever, with about nine minutes to go in the game, with the Falcons up 28-12.  My friend knew immediately (shadowing that day I had in Cam Newton's national title year when Alabama laid down for Auburn) that the game would go to overtime.  My friend refuses to watch the NFL due to the head injuries, etc. and so forth, and hasn't for nine years.  
• And, wouldn't you know it?  League MVP Donald Trump (Matt Ryan was just a placeholder this year -- as I think we finally have found the one thing -- with the ratings and all -- bigger than the NFL!) congratulating his good friends the GOAT player and the GOAT coach after the game.
• I don't know what makes me more flummoxed about all this -- that the NFL actually went through with this, or the simple fact that, in front of an audience exceeding 100 million in the United States, they carried out one of the largest insults to the intelligence of any person who has ever watched a football game and is aware of the game's rules and how the game is meant to be played.  If this game were any degree of believed-legitimate, the coach, offensive coordinator, and quarterback of the Falcons would all be looking either for prison jumpsuits or new jobs this morning.  Any person (outside of the fools who are Patriot fans in the first place) who actually believes last night's game was not a scripted farce is, bluntly, probably beyond reach.
• We can debate (and there has already been some, in the light of the media's Tom Brady Victory Lap) about whether Tom Brady has been placed beside Michael Jordan in the American Sports Parthenon.  However, there is one thing that I have noticed:  Michael Jordan was the Corporate Champion.  Tom Brady is the Political Champion -- taking Jordan's corporate rigging/scripting agendas and parlaying them into the political arena, and he has for the last 15 years.  Much of what I believed played into the election of President Oompa-Loompa is that it no longer matters what you do, pending your political position in society.  Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the football manifestation of such:  Tom Brady.
• My anonymous friend (who is sitting in the room while I type this) just made a point that made everything make sense:  I had thought, in the lead-up to the Super Bowl, the NFL would just let the Patriots run up the score and win by some ridiculous margin for Brady's #5.  Wait a second, says my friend...  If they're going to put Brady over "Joe Cool" Joe Montana, why wouldn't it be with a comeback never seen (and not close to being ever seen -- the previous largest Super Bowl comeback was a mere ten points!!)?
• EDIT TO ADD 12:45 PM 2/6:  And, in what has to be one of the least surprising articles I've seen on the Univision-owned sites, new African-American affairs site "The Root" has this article today:  "The Trap House vs. the White House:  Why Black America Needed the Falcons to Win".  And if you needed any more example of why the Falcons DIDN'T win and were ordered to take a dive...
