These two Girl basketball teams reminded me of the Denver Broncos

As  I've said many times , my opinion, if the Broncos had kept Tebow as a second string quarterback to come in when the game was won and allowed Peyton Manning to rest until the next game, instead of going for records that will be broken, the Broncos likely would not have been so humiliated two years ago in the Super Bowl and might have done better in the play offs this year.

   The object of the game is to win as many games as possible.  
 I believe these girls were sent the wrong message by suspending them for trying to get as far as possible in the play offs.
 
"In one of the strangest basketball games ever played, both Riverdale High School and Smyrna High School (Tenn.) girls teams tried to lose the District 7-AAA consolation game on Saturday night. You’re probably asking why.

Well, due to the way the regional tournament was seeded, the loser of the consolation game would be placed on the other side of the regional tournament bracket as national powerhouse Blackman High School. Both Riverdale and Smyrna had already lost to Blackman earlier this season, and it appears both thought if they lost the game they would have a better chance to make it to the Region 4-AAA finals."

"Eventually a school administrator from Smyrna approached head coach Shawn Middleton and demanded to know why the starters weren’t in the game."

"So the game got ridiculous. Both teams intentionally missed free throws. Numerous 10-second and half court violations occurred."

   Does anyone believe the Patriots should have been suspended for putting Jimmy Garoppolo in the second half and their loss against Buffalo.
   I see no reason to wear out your starting quarterback when the game doesn't matter.
