It's probably not as simple a question as it sounds... though maybe it's already been addressed on the Big Show (for you out of towners, DeOssie is one of the co-horts on WEEI's afternoon "Big Show" sports talk radio)
Obviously DeOssie's "lucrative radio career" is closely tied to the Patriots... but isn't family the most important thing? Wouldn't a father be rooting for his son to win the Super Bowl, putting that ahead of personal financial goals etc?
Zak DeOssie is of course a Brown University grad and a special teams contributor for the Giants (one the teams Steve also played for - including the SB XXV Champions)
Talk about a difficult choice. This could be his son's one and only chance to gain a Super Bowl ring... but this could also be his beloved Patriots one and only chance to gain football immortality as the Greatest Team of All Time, going 19-0 and having the Perfect Season.
This will likely develop into one of many national side stories... no matter what happens its all good advertising for Fred and Steve's Stake House
Maybe its already been mentioned and I missed it - but theory is one thing... this is the real thing and DeOssie's going to have to choose a side to root for.
I'm guessing Steve abandons his son on this one!
