And narcissism. That's a word. Myopic is a personal favorite, because it's less...personal. Is that ironic?

And it's going to continue to occur until the NFL goes to fulltime officials.

You think the NFL wants one of it's most popular minority coaches to lose in Prime Time on the heels of said coach fending off rumors that he's being considered for a prominent college coaching gig? Maybe you can explain how a player gets called for a block below the waist when he (a) never touched the player in question and (b) never touched that player inside the box making any such play legal. And that taunting penalty? They don't even call that in college. Those are just missed 'real time' calls huh... They are interpretations made at key times inexplicably. By professionals who aren't stupid and rarely make those "mistakes". Any real challenge to it's officiating post game gets a nice fat fine in your inbox. That's horse****. PLENTY of players and coaches have and continue to state the officiating is bad. Maybe it's "bad" by design. You sure as hell can't prove that it isn't, and I don't care how you feel personally. I don't think anyone else here cares much either. You fail to consider all options. That, sir, is your prerogative, stupid as it may be. |

I'm moving on. Y'all corner the market on tinfoil. |

Since you think everyone else is paranoid, and now that you've said as much, please DO NOT come back to this thread and start with people. How 'bout that? That way others can discuss without fighting.

Re: Minnihaha Miracle Revisited
Respectfully disagree with those that state that it was a rookie mistake. The video linked clearly shows something to ponder if not revolting as a fan. It's really sad to see one of many games completely fixed like boxing has been for a while .
