Maraniss: Winning Isn't Actually Winning
In the Washington Post, Maraniss discusses his bitter attitude sparked by Sheldon Aldeson who quoted Vince Lombardi as saying "winning isn't everything, it's the only thing. Lombardi was a coach who was very tough on his players and wanted them to be clean players. Then Monday's game came along and Maraniss was livid at the calls that were being made. His world, like all Packer fans was turned upside down and they were all left with disbelief. He then continues to say how he wasn't very upset with the replacement referees but more so with the coach of the Sea hawks because they felt they had won a close game.
To call myself a football fan would be an understatement. While I do support all Wisconsin sports, I only find myself watching the game if someone else puts it on and when they do I have no idea what is going on. I did however hear about the horrible calls being made against the packers and how upset the state of Wisconsin became. After reading the article by Mariniss I agree that the Sea hawks should be ashamed of themselves for acting as if they have one a close game when that was not the case at all. I also agree that Vince Lombardi was a great coach and he wasn't known for saying Winning was the only thing.
I am happy to see that although you are not a football fanatice that you still support the Packers, and I too believe that Seattle should be ashamed for how they responded to to the bad call that was made in their favor.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you about not necessarily knowing what's going on in the game, but knowing that the Seahawks were not winners in this case. The game was not a close game like you said, and they should be ashamed. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI mostly agree with what you all said, however I'm keeping in mind that in the end, it wasn't Seattle that made the call. It was the refs. So even if Seattle felt ashamed, it does nothing for the overall call.
