Are there any Seinfeld fans out there? Well did you ever see “The Bizarro Jerry” episode? That’s how I felt today watching the Patriots. The played the exact opposite of how everyone expected them to play. They were led by bizarro Tom Brady who lost a fumble and threw 3 interceptions. Needless to say I’m not in a great mood.

Hi EOW – I watched the game and heard that Tom Brady was offered $2 million from someone to tank the game. A couple of the Patriot’s defensive players had some offer as well. Pretty neat to see the Bengals kicker miss a 28 yarder and another chip shot to lose the game as well. You don’t think he was paid off?
This is why I love watching college football more. Although there is corruption, it’s on a lesser scale.
Best, Sam

You would think that $2 millions wouldn’t be incentive enough to tank that game. Think of how much more than that he could have made from bonuses, endorsements and future contracts by winning and continuing to win.
Couldn’t you argue that college football is worse because they do the same for less amounts of money? Plus the whole college degree without going to class.
Pro is definitely more corrupt. College is about the passion of victory, and getting into the pros. Once you got the $50 mil contract, who cares?
