NFL fans know Jimmy Garappolo. He was Tom Brady's back-up in New England for a few years, and recently has caught on with the San Fran 49ers. Not only caught on, but signed a very lucrative long term contract. And BTW, in the seven games he's started -- two for the Pats and 5 for the Niners -- he's undefeated. A perfect 7-0.
What many don't know is Jimmy G came out of Eastern Illinois, not exactly a "power" school. But EI has the distinction of also churning out one Tony Romo, of former Dallas Cowboys fame. Along the way, JG shattered all of TR's passing records.
Alas, Garappolo made the news a while back in what many people would consider an unflattering way. He was caught -- CAUGHT -- red-handed out on a date with a porn star. The video has been widely shown.
But wait a second. Why should this be a big deal -- or any deal at all? Last time I looked, there were no laws on the books forbidding two adults from having dinner together.
Porn star? Who cares? Would the multitude of puritans out there feel better if JG's date had been a lawyer? Nurse? Teacher? Political operative? A super-sizer working a McJob at a drive-thru window somewhere?
Besides, Garappolo is a young, quite single man. He can go out with anybody he damn well feels like. And it's nobody's business but his. Hey, if he and the actress decided to share the pleasures of the flesh in a variety of position afterwards -- more power to them. Unlike the stick girls that continue to rise in popularity elsewhere -- they're evidently breeding the mammaries right off of them in recent times -- this woman had some serious attention getters for a virile red-blooded male. Trust me -- most men like those. A lot.
If this is such a big deal, where was the outrage when one Irvin "Magic" Johnson was supposedly sleeping with over 1000 women -- while MARRIED? Unbelievably, his wife is still there. Well, OK, there's the money thing. Maybe not so unbelievable.
Eldrick "Tiger" Woods got busted for being a serial wife-cheater a few years back. At least Elin had the self-dignity to dump him. But his faithful lemmings still adore Tiger, even though he hasn't won anything in years.
Wilt Chamberlain and the 20,000 different women claim? Do the math. He'd have had to been doing 5-6 different women a day -- every day -- 365 -- from the time he was old enough to have a driver's license until the day he died. Nope, never did buy that. No way.
Thing is, the video mentioned above was shot by one Johnny Manzeil. This was a horrible mistake on his part.
We all know he bombed out of the NFL, even with the woeful Cleveland Browns. CLEVELAND!! And lately he's been bouncing around the Canadian Football League.
Yep, Johnny got another 15 minutes of fame for posting the video, but at what cost? No professional player on any team wants their private life to be spied on, much less be made public. Even management frowns on that sort of thing. In effect, Manzeil just drove the last nail in his coffin regarding any hopes of returning to the NFL. I mean, who's going to trust him after this debacle?
In closing, here's wishing Jimmy Garappolo the best. By any standards, he's a handsome rascal, and hey -- 7-0 is 7-0. The Niners did well do enlist his services for the next several years.
Idle thought. Why did Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots let him go? Brady's 41 years old. He may think he can play forever, but he can't. And the end is likely to come crashing down on him soon.
Nevertheless, all the hoopla that went along with the Jimmy G video having dinner/drinks with a "porn" star can likely be chalked up to one thing.
Jealousy. Many women would dearly love to take Jimmy G home for a go-round in the sack. And many men wished THEY could be in that position, no pun intended, with whatever happened after that date with an adult film star. Talk about knowing the ropes and every which way but loose.......
Who's kidding who?
I say, if you get the chance -- go for it. It doesn't come around every day for most people.
