Halo

Hate to say it, but things have gone to the crapper since the institution of instant replay. It's second guessing everything. Before instant replay, refs and their calls were never great, but they were never this bad.

I can hardly think of many games before instant replay where you could say the refs had such an influence on t he game that they were a factor. In modern times, it's just the opposite. Refs are injecting themselves into the game like a 3rd party player, fueled with a new handbook of rules that are dictating how players can actually hit and play the game. I think it goes too far and the game is not as good for it.
