Do you have to be bad to win?

After spending Thanksgiving in Buffalo at home with my family, I came back to Manhattan to the massive media storm surrounding Plaxico Burress of the New York Giants. After reading about the incident, I was consumed with a ton of anger. Now I'm not a New York Giants fan, so truthfully I should have cared less about Burress. But what really pissed me off was the fact that despite what Burress has been accused of, the Giants will still continue to play as amazing as they have been and most likely, will make a return to the Super Bowl this year. After watching the Bills' humiliating loss to the San Francisco 49er's this past Sunday, I couldn't help but wonder if you have to be a bad person off the field to win on it?   Besides Burress and the Giants, think about Tom Brady. He leaves his girlfriend to pursue a supermodel, all the while that his ex is pregnant. And what happened to his team? They ended up going undefeated in the regular reason and made it to the Super Bowl that year.   And what about Tony Romo? He dates a wanna-be Country singer and embraces his new tabloid, media ***** lifestyle. He's allover the place not because of his talent, but because of his girlfriend. And what happens? He comes back this season after an injury and starts leading the Cowboys back to playoff potential.   Why is it that guys like Romo and Brady can vacation in Cabo during their bye weeks or date supermodels and still get the job done on the field? They're loved by every sportscaster and are constantly glorified in the media. Besides the hit-and-run incident with Marshawn Lynch earlier this year, the Bills for the most part stay out of the public eye and seem to genuinely work hard to win games. And yet they're no-longer playoff material this season and on top of that, they could be sold to another city in the near future.    So, where is karma when you need it?
