Turned Out To Be

Turned Out To Be

Footballs were found to be under-inflated;
Not well-mated and problems created;
Seems like part of a big scheme
Giving unfair advantage to a certain team.

So slippery footballs appeared to be;
Deflated like an ego could be held more comfortably,
And now more than likely will land
Firmly and fit into receiver's hand.

So with head chiefs we started to consult;
Out from all this what should be the result;
About whole thing people off it did tick;
How about cash and a future draft pick?

Why would they want to sell themselves short?
Should spend a day in an unethical court;
But all attempts appeared to be feudal;
Should be sent to one that is a tribunal.

Could include comments from a sports commentator 
Who I had heard turned out to be a traitor
Favoring team that they previously played for;
What should be done to even the score?

Maybe commissioner should also be included;
He, like everyone else is probably deluded
By fans and to a fact that to they all did react;
What should be tried is some oil of ipecac.

Right away things started to smooth right out;
It was simple by removing all of the doubt
You might swing and sway with Sammy Kay;
It all turned out to be bunch of BS anyway.
