Re: "Ball-Ghazi"

So apparently the whole contrived controversy about the Patriots using slightly under-inflated footballs in their blow-out win over Indianapolis has already been termed "Ball-ghazi."

This pleases me.  For we typically apply the suffix "-gate" to reference some potentially earth-shattering scandal that threatens to bring down the highest echelons of power, as Watergate did to Nixon.  By contrast, we use "Bengazi" to reference some totally manufactured scandal and non-existent conspiracy, blown clear out of proportion and artificially kept alive solely because it implicates someone we irrationally hate.  Way to live up to the original, Ball-ghazi.

That having been said, screw the Pats, GO SEAHAWKS!!!
