Since football has become emblematic of American life, does this mean you hire a warm and fuzzy lawyer when you can sorta see the opponent's side as well? Did Charlie Weis recently tell his attorneys "well-played, I didn't really need the money anyhow and the gastric bypass was a stupid idea"? I think not. The opponent you trivialize today with the cruelty of low expectations may be tomorrow's teammate. If you want to see football played purely for the love of the game, go watch the Holy Cross/Fordham game today. Want to see what money can do to the level of competition? BC/FL State is on at 8. I enjoy the occasional PB&J at the kitchen table. Why should that preclude me from a night at Abe & Louie's? Neither is contextually better, just different. Belichick is transparent with his employer and the fans. When we no longer want what he's selling, he'll be gone. Until then, losing sucks.</p>
