To: a little elbow grease
For all you Freepers who may have the inclination to post some remark about hating the NFL .... don't bother. Your comment is not necessary.. This is merely about football, football officiating, and not politics.

You are entitled to your opinion and to continue watching the bread and circus that the NFL has become. I've decided to tune out so long as disrespecting our flag and nation is tolerated on the field. President Trump and the path of our nation is more important to me right now than a ball game.

It's a shame too because I've been a Patriots fan since the days they were the joke of the NFL. They had a lot of awful seasons leading up to the mid 1990s. When Tom Brady and Bill Belichick came on the scene during the early 2000s, they became a lot of fun to watch.

But no longer. I admit to checking the standings and scores online to see how they are doing but I take no more joy in watching them play the actual games.

That all said, I'd be the first to tell you that the Patriots have gotten a lot of breaks over the years during the Brady era starting with that infamous "tuck rule" ruling during the first Super Bowl run in 2001. All the bounces and favorable rulings seem to go their way more often than not during the Brady era.

“lot of breaks over the years during the Brady era starting with that infamous “tuck rule” ruling”

FYI...the tuck rule was called AGAINST the Patriots 4 games earlier that same year...
