Tom Brady Is Pissed!

[DOUGHBOYS]

I am in a draft room tester for another fantasy site. It looks pretty good.
Anyway, after somebody selected Craig Kimbrel, the drafter typed in this message, ".Looks like I am banking on the underachieving Sox being a little pissed off and bouncing back"
Stupidity.
Yet, I see or read it almost everyday.
Tom Brady is going to be really pissed when he comes back from his suspension!
The Broncoes lost! I feel sorry for whoever plays them next week!
MadBum got beat up! If he gets another chance against the Cubs, watch out!

The media and us as fans create the 'pissed offness'. The players are professional.
Brady knew about his suspension.
The Broncos know they didn't play well and will have to improve.
Madison Bumgarner knows that he's not perfect...even in the playoffs.
And the Red Sox will be happy with their 2016 in 2017.
They went from last to first. Made the playoffs. It was the media and fans who put higher expectations on the team later.
Heck, they had a Manager who was close to losing his job. Now, he'll be in the running for Manager of the Year.

My friends have lost their driver license. When getting drivers privledges back, they didn't take control of the car with a vengeance as many perceive Tom Brady doing with his team after suspension.
We just get back in the car and drive, much like Brady leads his team on a drive.
It's silly, really.
Tom Brady is Tom Brady.
If all this pissed offedness were so, the Chicago Cubs would be the most pissed off professional team in sports for over 100 years.
Instead, most of those years they were pathetic. Nobody perceived them as pissed off.
So bad, the were called 'loveable'.

Back in the day, Willie Mays was struck out three times by a pitcher.
He told Leo Durocher, his Manager at the time, that he was 'really going to get that pitcher next time".
Durocher smiled and sat him down.
"Willie, you can't go into an at bat thinking like that. If you do, you'll make the same mistakes you made today.
Look for your pitch and hit it." "Simple".
"And, oh by the way, Willie, when a player says that he is 'really gonna get a pitcher next time, it implies to me that you have more to give than you are already giving.....Are you giving me 100%?"
"Yes, Mr. Durocher"
"That's all I want, Willie".

don't bet on football anymore but last nights game was an "masses are asses" game if I ever saw one. Denver coming off a loss, semien back, the chargers finding many ways to lose. I bet all week the "pros" and "experts" were predicting a Denver win.

Right?
I know around here in Colorado, all week long their fans couldn't wait for Denver to take their loss to Atlanta out on San Diego.
Now, they have to wonder how good their team really is.
I don't know the line on the football game, but I'll bet bookmakers came out way ahead.
