So the evidence is lending itself to the belief that the New England Patriots have apparently cheated…again. We may never know for sure who deflated the footballs or if coach Belichick knew anything about it but Tom Brady had to know something was different about the footballs.
All this definitely “deflates” my view of the Patriots.
Kind of reminds me of Proverbs 22:1, “A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches…” Whether or not you are a Patriots fan is irrelevant. This taints their name and they will forever be known, by many, as the team that cheated their way to the top.
Our reputation is at stake with every decision we make. Just as the Proverb states, “A good name is to be chosen.” Reputations don’t just happen they are chosen everyday by the decisions we make.
Let’s face it, we’ve all made decisions that stuck with us for a while and all we can do is make sure the next decision we make, and every other decision to follow, lends itself to a good name for us. We are all one decision away from destroying our name and reputation and we are a series of good decisions away from rebuilding any bad reputation we have. It is a choice we make everyday. Choose wisely.
Go Seahawks!
