Deflate-gate typifies confusion between desire and mission

On January 18 the New England Patriots routed the Indianapolis Colts in the 2015 AFC championship game. Then the news broke that 11 of the 12 Patriots’ footballs were underinflated to ensure a better grip—a clear violation of NFL rules.

Of course, this is not the first time that a sport has been tainted by cheaters. You know the names: Lance Armstrong (cycling), Alex Rodriguez (baseball), Ben John Read more of this blog post »
