Think about this: NFL is fining coaches more than they are paying replacement refs per game.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 11:02 PM) I hate that instant replay is "indisputable evidence" to overturn. We're at the point with technology where the looks you get on replay, 99% of the time are better than what an official saw at game speed, from sometimes a s***ty angle. Unless you literally can't see anything, you should be able to review it and it shouldn't matter what the call on the field was. We've all seen calls where we're 90% sure of what happened but since it was ruled X on the field, it stays as X. That play, on replay, is an interception. But since it was ruled TD on the field, it stands. It's just stupid. I really wish they'd change the standard of proof for replay. There's no reason not to at this point. Considering half the time they dont even apply indisputable correctly id be fine that.

The reffing sucked, but that game was hilariously entertaining. Now obviously as soon as it impacts the Bears Im not going to be laughing.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 10:57 PM) I really dont think the league gives a s*** anymore. I wish some players would just come out and give meaningless threats about going on strike. They will get fined but they need to embarrass the league on this. Its just using the WWE method. Controversy sells, more people will be talking NFL tomorrow and tuning in next week to see if "Something crazy with refs happens again."

If I was the Packers coach Id be suspended for the rest of the year, if not more.

I think Pete Carroll is going to just ref the last play.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 10:54 PM) Yep. Hard to even feel great about the Bears getting up a game on the Packers after that. Screw that, I feel perfectly fine about the Bears being a game up. Especially because this could be the end of replacement refs.

I just had a strange feeling that this game was going to some how be controversial. They never kicked the extra point, so im not sure this game is even official.

Its obviously an interception and pass interference. But it doesnt matter, replacement refs!

OMG ITS INSANITY!

Three balls have hit Tate's hands now?

Do not rough the kicker under any circumstance.

Actually it looks it was on Tate, it appeared he ran the wrong route and Wilson thought it would be Rice in the corner for a jump ball.

ha wow terrible play design, you had Rice and Tate in the same space. Note even sure who that was supposed to go to. Wilson needed to read the overload blitz on the left and audible to roll right, he had a running lane but the play was clearly designed pass.

And the play call should be a roll with pass/run option for Wilson, hard to stop him for 3 yards on that play.

The Packer guy was pulling at the jersey, but given what Rice did, I think that at worst its a no call.

So its bad when the announcers are just constantly killing the refs.

Wow, just when it looks like there is no hope.

Zoom, JPN and I put up top 10 South Park lists in honor of the new season starting Weds. http://flapship.com/ranking-the-best-south-park-episodes/ Who do you think is right?

Im waiting for other people to buy the iphone before I decide. It once again appears that neither phone has exactly what I want.

Celek has increased value while Maclin is hurt, I dont like the BRowns at all.

We have had this league for 6+ years, we all have commitments that often mean we miss on a player. As I said we have a waiting list so its not like we need people and we are already at 14 teams. As for some sleepers today (deep ones) Hankerson WR Redksins Shaun Draughn RB KC

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 12:48 PM) There is nothing racist about it. We will merely talk to the poor and working class white people that have been left behind. Under attack from the Democrats. Laid from Bain by Romney. What programs do they see, on the ground, that they are not allowed to participate because the Democrats have excluded them. We will simply give them equal opportunity to programs just like those. The exact opposite of racism. lol This is the worst idea ever. No way any Republican is going to win on giving things away. The only way to do this is to go Goerbels and just start lying. If you want to be a socialist, be a socialist. Youre idea is incompatible with the current Republican platform. You are merely suggesting a Democratic platform and repackaging it to try and convince Republicans that should be Democrats. Guess what, you cant convince them. Maybe Im missing something here, but it sounds like your a Democrat who just refuses to accept it.

http://news.yahoo.com/libyans-storm-militi...-225317193.html Sometimes you have to believe. You have to believe that if you do right by people, that they will do right by you. There will always be setbacks when you are on the side of good, but that is why we sacrifice, in the hope that our lives will mean something, that at the end of the day we can say that we have made a meaningful change for the better. Mr. Genius, you are way off on this one. Lets just assume Obama did apologize, so what? If his apology saved 1 American life, then who cares? you have to look inside and ask, is it more important to be a jackass tough guy, or is it more important to try and change the world? When you know you are the top dog, you dont need to prove it, you can be magnanimous because you hope that others will follow your lead. Obama may not know what is going on, but he knows a million times more than the guys you support, and isnt that all that matters? I cant even respect people who cant acknowledge that anymore. If you want to be a joke meme troll, that is fine, but some of us actually care. And its pathetic to insinuate that Obama did something wrong here, and we both know it. It will not be 476 Rome on my watch.

No he was picked up last week during the game when Bradshaw was injured. I noticed it because I had Bradshaw and Brown started getting carries but no Giants message board reported that there was an actual injury. By the time rotoworld had the update he was already gone.
