Me too Charles. I will send you an article a buddy sent to me.
You'd think with a Multi-Billion Dollar Business like the NFL that they'd have full-time referees instead of Lawyers, Accountants and School Teachers.
I hope ES and Jimmy don't read our posts because they are Pacifists and don't want to make the 'refs' mad by disagreeing with them.
..

Hell with sucking pacifiers...I'm a Steelers fan!

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSERS!!!!

WHINE! WHINE! NAG! NAG! CRY! SPIT! etc.

HAR! HAR! HAR!

Jim you will always and forever get the last laugh on this one..You got the trophy.Too bad the refs get to share it with you..Whiner yes, Loser no.In order to be a loser there has to be a winner. I didn't see the Stealers(not mispelled) win anything.

Did I forget the HAR! HAR! HAR! on that last post?

Sorry! I thought we were just goofing around here. I really don't EVER get serious about sports....I don't know SH*T about it, and it means absolutely NOTHING to me!

Let's just agree the Seahawks won. Howzzat?

!raH !raH !raH

I'm with you Jimmy. I'm not too impressed with million aires playing million aires while I wait on my poor little retirement pension. MVB ES

Sorry, I thought we were goofing too..Guess the Stealer line was a little harsh..Take it back. Lets just say the Steelers were the recipient of an unsolicited gift.How's that..

Naw, "Stealers" was a natural at the moment. Sure didn't bother me. I just thought my chatter had bothered you, and I had NO intention of being anything other than my usual, sometimes off-base self. As to the "unsolicited gift," that could be. Did you hear Roethlisberger SAY on national television that he didn't think he'd crossed the goal line? I really thought he put the ball ON the line while he was in the air, then pulled it back a couple of inches.

But a thousand years from now, who'll give a sh*t?

Hell, I bet Lathan won't even REMEMBER!

Bart Starr scored on that play. Don Merideth almost made the tackle on Derrick Jeter on the five-yard line but Johnny Mack Brown's horse threw him and he fell on Cassius Clay. I have Gordy Howe's autograph...

LORDY, how I wish I had Gordie Howe's autograph!

Right after the game, Manning went off like a kid whose all-day sucker was grabbed away from him. Blamed the whole thing on "protection." It was a real "quickie," so I can understand that you missed it. Both my sons saw it, though, so I'm NOT imagining things.

Later on, he tried to brush it off, saying he was misquoted. That's BULLSH*T! I heard what he said. Thing is, even if he was right --- and I think he WAS --- he was wrong for saying it in public!

I've thought for a long time he'd end up being the NFL's greatest quarterback. The boy will never make it if he keeps crapping on his teammates...and THEN denying he did it.

If I made a bad call and the instant replay showed it was bad and I got overruled, I would be glad to change it. I've made calls that I wasn't sure of, but I had to call something. We got the technology, so let's use it. Maybe someday. No, I'm not petulant about the outcome of the game. I really couldn't care less who won.

Me either Pete, in fact I slept through most of the first half. Now if they start taking my money, I'll do more than whine. MVB ES

Like the old adage: "I ain't got no dogs in that race."

I wasn't goofing...I'm almost certain that I am 90% right less than 50% of the time...

Is that the same as being half fast?

I'm not goofing, I'm with Lathan. I didn't think R'berger got the ball over...The Seahawks had a touchdown stolen, There was no more holding on the play that got called back from 2 than there was on that fluke the fat kid from Ohio threw after he steped on the line of scrimmage and Hasselbeck wasn't blocking he was tackeling. And what referee do think is gonna stick his head in the black box...I wonder if there really is a monitor in there anyway...and come back out there and tell 80,000 people, whoops I and or my best buddies screwed up?

So there maybe I'm half fast too, but I'm in good company.

Shoot, I'd NEVER call you "halfassed," Horace!

WRONG...but not halfassed.

Har! Har! Har!

What Horace and Jimmy said...

I think football's got too many rules anyway. I used to watch Australian football. Now, they've got it right! No rules, just beat the crap out of the enemy, take the ball away and run with it. If you get boxed in, just punt at a full run. Australian football players have got to be the toughest, most in shape athletes in the world.

Pete, you're right. And most of the athletes smoke and drink beer and ale after the game. They are a tough bunch of Ratbags, er, guys...

Yea I think all those Aussies actually grew up in Dairyland and on Twin St. where the game of choice was "Tackle the man with the football" and it didn't matter if your fast was half or whole...it WOULD get tackled.

And now guys are flying into the endzone with the ball out stretched when there's nobody within 20 yards of him...makes you wanna puke.

Horace

Horace that bears repeating - Not to be confused with Repeating Bears..

Whatchoo got against Bears?

I just figured out what Lathan was talking about(I'm know I'm leaving ol' Jim an opening here)... that Repeating business.....I'm still trying to figure out how that happened..I musta dropped off or something.
