In the article " It was lightning and thunder" by Will Grimsley he describes the heavyweight title match between Ali and Liston in Maine in 1965. He explains how the fight was real the first time but rigged the second time in Maine. He uses tip 3 in my opinion because he gives us statistics about the first fight and compared it to the second one. I also think that the rhetorical stratiges he used were the audience in which he explains how angry they are and the tone of the article.


In the article " Sox hit rock bottom" by Stephen Hawkins he describes how the Redsox lost a crushing game against the Rangers by a Josh Hamilton game winning double. The author uses tip number three and tip number four. His rhetorical strategies he uses is by telling how the audience felt and the occasion for writing this prompt which is because of the game winning double by Josh Hamilton.

 In the scandal deflate gate there is an unbiased opinion on whether Tom Brady and Bill Belicheck  knew about the balls being deflated. People think that Brady is guilty and that he knew about the footballs before the game even started. Reporters say that after the inspection of the footballs before the AFC championship game that the Patriots ball boy had two hours to tamper with the footballs. Reporters also said that Brady even sent texts to the ball boy but no evidence has been found.


I personally think that Tom Brady knew about the balls being deflated because he played with them and I think he wanted them to be a little deflated but not that much. The league even saw texts between the ball boy and Tom Brady but none about the footballs. even though he's our hometown quarterback I still think hes guilty because of all the evidence against him and that him not knowing about the footballs being 2 pounds lighter. People said that when Gronk spiked the ball that it could have deflated the ball a little bit because he spikes it so hard. But even know that some people believed that's what happened it still doesn't explain why the other eleven balls were under psi.


    I personally think that this punishment is fair because of how significant it was. Even though people say that Tom is suspended longer than Ray Rice who beat up his wife and Adrian Peterson who beat his kid , they do't realize that those two guys already missed a whole season. They missed a whole season because of the legal allegations and that they were suspended indefinatley by the league. So yes I do think that this punishment is fair because what Tom did could have and did affect the outcome of the game.

    The solution to a problem like this is to give the player a "slap on the wrist" so to speak. the NFL should penalize Tom Brady because of what he did top the footballs. I think tom should get a two game suspension and that the NFL shouldn't take away draft picks because it wasn't the whole team that did it , it was Tom. So that's what I think the solution should be for this incident.
