Tom Brady vs. Jarran Reed


Tom Brady
Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. (born August 3, 1977) is an American football quarterback for the New England Patriots of the National Football League.



Shangri-Law School posted:

Tom Brady for publicly calling his own wife and family breadwinner a liar through a hired goon. Tom Brady for helping to inflict Trump upon us. Tom Brady for being an unrepentant cheater. Tom Brady for bringing joy to the wretched people of Boston.

Tom Brady recently blew another opportunity to clarify that his wife isn't lying, unsurprisingly, because it is still the case in 2017 that admitting football scrambles your brains has serious career repercussions, and nobody is more focused on their career than Tom Brady.

As previously documented, Brady and Trump have been in love forever. More recently, maybe Brady and Trump have gotten a secret divorce, neither willing to repudiate the other publicly because of, again, career repercussions. Of course, Brady's (and the Patriots') prior cheating is outside of this year's consideration, but we may still charge him with letting another year of unrepentence go by. And, as for the wretched people of Boston, we have previously discussed their penchant for pretending to be underdogs while their team dominates its sport for a decade. Tom Brady is surely at least colluding and abetting that situation.

But to me, all of these items merely circle the central problem of Tom Brady, which is that he is a perfect metaphor for America. Consider:
  • America: global superpower with the strongest military. Brady: NFL superpower, with the strongest team.
  • America: cheats a lot, sometimes gets caught, is always defiantly unrepentant about it. Brady: same.
  • America: cloaks itself in a mantle of patriotism. Brady: literally a New England Patriot.
  • America: rich. Brady: rich.
  • America: much more republican than you want to admit. Brady: same.
  • America: probably concussed or something, but just gonna pretend we have a headache and ignore the likelihood of brain damage. Brady: yep.
  • America: has dominated for a long time but is probably in the very last years of its supremacy. Brady: is turning 40 this year and can't possibly keep up this level of performance for long.
  • America: No matter who you are or where you live, completely unavoidable. Tom Brady: same.
All this poo poo adds up to being a massive douchebag, and that really sums it up: Brady is intolerable because he is us, and we are intolerable.


Jarran Reed
Jarran Kentrel Reed (born December 16, 1993) is an American football defensive tackle for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League. He played college football at Alabama, and was selected by the Seahawks in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft.

Jarran Reed is a football player.

Jarran Reed is known for playing dirty (he got ejected once for throwing a punch) and is the subject of a domestic violence investigation from an incident in April.

The ejection:
http://sports.mynorthwest.com/228767/pete-carroll-jarran-reeds-ejection-scuffle-with-frank-clark-was-a-teachable-moment-for-seahawks/

quote:

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll didn’t like how rookie Jarran Reed lost his cool Sunday when he allegedly threw a punch that got him ejected from Seattle’s win over San Francsico.
...
Unlike cornerback Richard Sherman’s previous outbursts, this was two teammates going after each other, albeit only momentarily. It all unfolded with 5:42 left in the fourth quarter when Reed drew a personal-foul penalty and an ejection following a San Francisco extra point. Clark confronted him as he was walking off the field, pointing in his face and saying something that Reed didn’t seem to want to hear. Clark grabbed Reed by the shoulder pads and the two squared off for a few seconds before teammates separated them.
...
Television replays showed Reed and San Francisco’s Mike Purcell going after each other following the PAT but not the alleged punch. Referee Tony Corrente didn’t mention one when he announced the personal foul on Reed and his ejection. Carroll said he didn’t see a punch from Reed, “but the official came over and said he threw a haymaker.”

Carroll said Reed got punched first and noted how it’s often the retaliation that gets noticed by officials.

“We’ve seen that for a million years,” Carroll said. “He got punched first, but that’s not OK. That’s not how we perform and play and we’re not going to succeed doing stuff like that.”
Carroll praised center Justin Britt for getting into the middle of the ensuing shoving match to break things up.

The assault:

http://www.king5.com/sports/nfl/seahawks/sources-seahawk-jarran-reed-investigated-for-assault/437977570

quote:

Bellevue Police responded to a complaint from a woman who claimed that Seattle Seahawk Jarran Reed had assaulted her in late April, according to sources close to the Bellevue Police Department.

The alleged incident happened on April 27 at 3 a.m. at a home in Bellevue.

Sources confirm that the domestic violence case is open. Investigators are looking into the claim, and there has still been no determination on if charges will be filed.

I find no news about this other than the initial reports on May 8th/9th of this year, suggesting charges still have not been filed.

Oh yeah that reminds me how he "helpfully" moved a big chunk of his compensation off-book, to be maximally friendly to management. E.g. he gets paid by his gym being on campus at the Patriots' playfield, for example. And other poo poo like this. Nothing 100% provable, but the Pats have like $7-$10M per year extra to play with due to the incredibly favorable deals Brady keeps signing.

For our final match of the first round, we have: Dean Spanos & Family vs. Ryan Pace


Dean Spanos & Family
Dean Alexander Spanos (born May 26, 1950) is the team president and CEO of the National Football League's Los Angeles Chargers franchise, in which his father, owner Alex Spanos, purchased majority interest in 1984.

According to Forbes, in 2016 the Spanos family was worth $2.4B.

Just so no one forgets details months down the line:
-relocated a franchise to a market that doesn't want them
-fired their defensive coordinator via social media
-they spent a year on this?
-got their asses kicked in negotiating to use a 27k-seat stadium...by MLS
-relocated the same year LaDanian Tomlinson is eligible for the Hall of Fame, making that one awkward. Less of a douchey move, more douchey timing. Wait, no it's still both.
-burned every last bridge with San Diego and its fans in the process.

The Spanoses like to pretend the city of San Diego didn't want them, but that's a lie. SD was willing to help them with a new stadium built on the site of the old stadium... but that just wasn't good enough, Dean wanted his new stadium where he wanted it, and wasn't willing to compromise on that at all.

Ryan Pace
Ryan Chauncey Pace (born c. 1977) is the general manager for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League. He previously worked in the New Orleans Saints' front office for 14 years.


Zurreco posted:

Ryan Pace for actively and visibly trying to blow this year's draft. Knowing that he was on his way out, Pace refused to resign a bunch of good existing players, traded away a lot of the team's future picks to move up one (ONE) spot (that wasn't under contention) to pick up an unproven rookie QB after signing a veteran to a long deal, and using three of his remaining four draft picks to select players from lower division teams. He won't win, but gently caress Pace.

LOL yeah that was... well, a lot of people assume it was just Pace being super bad and stupid. I dunno, maybe it was deliberate? The Bears trade up from #3 to #2 to grab Trubisky is usually discussed from the perspective of whether or not SF would have taken Trubisky instead; they would not have. But that's the wrong view: it should be seen from the perspective that SF was auctioning off its #2 pick to the highest bidder, and the Bears, wanting Trub, had to outbid all other teams willing to trade up to that spot to take him. The number of teams willing to do that had to be zero in order for the Bears to be sure of getting Trubisky at #3.

Of course, it is also dependent on the question of whether the Bears should have taken Trub at all, or the decision to trade that much draft equity just to be certain of grabbing him. I'm in the camp that says no way; there were (and still are) free agent QBs available to get Chicago through a season that is unquestionably about rebuilding, and if they really wanted a rookie QB, there were plenty of others on the board. They could have offered a small amount to SF to trade up, and then if they got outbid for the pick, just dealt with maybe not getting Trubisky. A rebuilding team needs lots of draft picks, and SF showed exactly how you do that: you trade down for more picks, pack your team with lots of rookie prospects, and try to grab more picks for 2018 too.

So regardless, Ryan Pace hosed up the Bears draft, yeah. Was it deliberate? I kind of doubt it, but then I tend to adhere to the aphorism "Never subscribe to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity."
