Sloppy game, bad call, NE moves on

January 22, 2012

This was ruled a catch and a TD, and it was close ^^^^^^

[Check out BAL player's left hand /brex]

The ruling on the field when BAL trailed 23-20 with under two minutes left of incomplete was horseshit – he caught the ball, took two steps, and then the ball was slapped away. That substory will get lost thanks to Billy Cundiff shanking a short FG, but it was a catch.

Anyway … GO GIANTS!


Much ado about much ado about nothing

I was texting with a friend during the closing couple minutes of San Francisco’s win over Detroit yesterday, thus ending the Motor City’s dreams of an undefeated season. The game itself was excellent, and a kefuffle broke out afterward as the coaches shook hands at mid-field. Jim Harbaugh (SF’s coach) apparently shook Jim Schwartz’s (DET’s coach) hand too hard, and he then slapped him on the back. Schwartz took offense to the combo grip/slap and chased after Captain Comeback and a squabble ensued, one that eventually included a few players, security personell, etc.

Great piece at AmSpec RE the looming NFL Lockout

February 9, 2011

Kudos to Quin Hillyer, and part II comes tomorrow:

The National Football League has one of the best things going in the history of team sports. Its owners and players are on the verge of blowing it entirely, leaving the fans in the lurch. The game should belong to the fans who pay for it. If the owners and players ruin the coming season, may a serious pox be on both their houses.

How stupid must both sides be to even come close to risking their pot of gold and their pre-eminent place in the affections of the American public. How short-sighted. How incredibly unimaginative with solutions. And how pathetically greedy.
