I know there's a tendency to "let them play a little more" and the end of a game, but if those jokers would've called the BLATANT push off of the defender by Golden Tate, there would be no controversy.

I've only seen tv network replays as I don't get cable, but couldn't Tate have fought for and grabbed the ball in the scrum? And do ties go to the receiver?

This happens all the time but it is still sufficiently toolish to be called out here. Yesterday around 1130 EDT in the mid-Atlantic area someone checked in on guard. A little toolish, but there are those who have and those who will. The bigger tools are the 14 other pilots that stepped on each other in a race to transmit "on guard!!!" in the 15 seconds following the guy's admitted mistake.

(And I realize it is just a game. But that is my leisure time that they are screwing with)

Goodell's employed by the owners...it's just like management...until revenue starts to drop they don't care.

Incorrect. It's NOT a game. It's a filthy business.

If the Players and Coaches refuse to show up next weekend if the Scab Zebras are still there, then what?

Will the owners fire them all?

And replace them with..."The Replacements" again? That worked so well last time...

Sandrich,
Read the 3rd paragraph slowly then get back to us about who is the tool.

While it does say he sounded like he was joking, that was trying real hard to be funny. Imagine you did not read the joking part, the article completely makes sense as if someone could have seriously said that. Terrible joke and terrible article.

In my defense, the original article started at "previously" and the "updated" section was added after I posted it. Joke's on me apparently...

Stand up comedy is not his thing. I'm okay with that. My totd comment was more directed at the pundits on either wing that present this sort of thing as "news". Carry on.
