  • New England Patriots Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: the More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same
    New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same. Author : Robert D. Cobb There is an old French proverb, "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" that roughly translated means, the more things change, the more they stay the same. While Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr didn’t exactly have in mind that over 150-plus years later that his famous epigram from his journal Les Guepes, would become so literal, it seems to apply more literally whenever it comes to the New England Patriots vexing mastery over the Pittsburgh Steelers. 1 / 2 Whether it is in the hearty confines of Foxborough or the Confluence of the Three Rivers of the Steel City, the New England Patriots have the Pittsburgh Steelers number. For all of their six Lombardi trophies, 23 members in the Hall of Fame and perhaps the largest fan following in the NFL in Steeler Nation, whenever the mighty six-time Super Bowl champions see the Patriots red, white and blue, they immediately turn to rust. While they have been owned by the Rooney family since 1933, on the field, they have been owned by Tom Brady since 2002. Whether coming in to relive an injured Drew Bledsoe in the ‘01 AFC Championship Game or treating Antony Smith like a junior varsity scrub to the tune of a long pair of touchdown passes via Randy Moss in a 34-13 blowout, Brady is the ultimate arch-nemesis that Pittsburgh cannot seem to solve. Not even their long-time and ancient rivals from the past in the Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys or even their fellow division blood rival in the Baltimore Ravens seem to amass the amount of dread, revile and utter disdain and fear and loathing that New England does.

  • Deflated: the Strategic Impact of the “Deflategate” Scandal on the NFL and Its Golden Boy
    Volume 6 2017 www.csscjournal.org ISSN 2167-1974 Deflated: The Strategic Impact of the “Deflategate” Scandal on the NFL and its Golden Boy Michael G. Strawser Stacie Shain Alexandria Thompson Katie Vulich Crystal Simons Bellarmine University Abstract In January 2015, the Indianapolis Colts informed the National Football League of suspicion of ball deflation by the New England Patriots in a playoff game. What followed was a multi-year battle between the NFL, a “model” franchise, and one of the league’s most polarizing players, Tom Brady. This case study details what would affectionately become Deflategate through the lens of agenda setting and primarily image restoration theories and contains an analysis of the public relations process. Keywords: NFL; Deflategate; Tom Brady; New England Patriots; image restoration; agenda setting Introduction Not. Another. Scandal. Football fans across the country could almost hear those words coming from National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell’s mouth moments after the “Deflategate” scandal broke in January 2015.
