“Play is under further review”

Shits getting ridiculous. It’s even made its way into basketball and baseball.

I understand the desire to “get it right”, but I have also always believed the best officials are the ones you don’t even realize are there. Officiating shouldn’t be a noticeable part of the game.

Sure, they get calls wrong sometimes. But it is sorta like dealing with shitty weather, or bad track/field/weather conditions...as long as both sides (everyone) is dealing with the same circumstances, then it is what it is. Sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn’t.

I almost feel like they do it just to increase the dramatics during the games.

 

I see it only getting worse.....

 

Ping Pong is boring.

 

But without replay the Lions couldn't get intentially screwed by the league. I beleive it's creation was meant just for that purpose and that purpose alone.

 

I can't stand it personally. What I've noticed in discussing this among people I know is that the people who never really played sports seem to think it's better, those who played anything at a high level seem to hate it.

 

Has no place in baseball and I don't care one bit about the orange round bouncy ball game. In football, well, it's stupid unless it's in favor of my preferred local sports collective.

 

Hate it.
Who you supposed to hate now?

 

It's coming to MMA too. Why even have officials?

 

yep, I agree. the other sports I could care less about. But leave baseball alone. It was perfect.

 

1st ever. Review of a review and it overturns a Lions TD catch

 

I wanted to see just how bad it was and was going to count how many times the game is stopped and we have to wait for a play to be reviewed. I finally said fuck it. It’s just ridiculous.

 

Okay, worse than the reviewing crap is the over playing of AC/DC. I love me some AC/DC but please play something else than that 9 second loop of Back in Black.

 

What's worse is when there is a review and they still get it wrong. College football is terrible at times.

 

Except it wasn't a catch. If the kicking team hadn't taken so long they would have had a TD.

It's a good thing there's instant replay when the refs suck as much as that crew did today.

 

Someone with an amazing grasp of what should be obvious.
The fact is that it could be raining pussy and the Lions would be getting hit with dicks.

 

Q; “Why do you hate Football”?
A; ‘I grew up in Detroit’
Many good things came out of the organization, including Alex Karras charities. He was a huge benefactor to childrens charities. We could use many more like him.

 

Only two in twenty years time is pretty good.

 

What does it say when a guy who needs everything to be perfect thinks it's a bad idea?

How long before a disputed call ends up in court?
After all, there's money involved.
