PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Max's first rule of fantasy football: Whenever a player lays an egg, he's always on your roster and never on your opponents' rosters. Thanks, Cam, for proving me right yet again.

5. "Double-edged offense." |
Jets get down to the Dolphin three-yard line. Ryan sends in Tubya.Tubya takes the ball, scrambles backwards, runs around as if recently decapitated, refuses to throw the thing, and gets dropped for a four-yard loss. Ryan sends in Sanchez. Sanchez immediately throws the ball into the end zone for an interception. The above took six different coaches to plan.

It is almost as if they are trying to kill Estee rather than just suffering from terminal incompetence.

8. "Upsets, upsets everywhere..." |
...and not a penny (of gambler profit) goes clink. This? Is why I don't pick more than one game a week. As a famous relief pitcher once sort of said, I'm better off when it only takes one action to find out I'm (bleep)ed. The self-titled professionals are going to be making some interesting excuses tomorrow, and they'll have made every last one of them before. Over and over and overtimes, the Titans burn down a barn and take out more of Detroit's infrastructure, the Broncos are doing great as long as they don't try to get more than three points at a time, the Vikings gored out half the suicide pool with the horns they're not supposed to have, the Saints went marching out, oh, and once again: icing the kicker doesn't work. (But it's an issue with no fix: you can't tell coaches they're not allowed to call timeout.) This can't just be the quasi-officials, can't it? And no one bring up Long Counts. Thanks going out to the camera operator in Miami who put Tubya on KissCam. Pity it didn't work.

11. "That doesn't look good" |
Got home and they are putting Darius on a stretcher and all strapped down, oh good, he gave a thumbs up, I was afraid there wasn't any movement at all. Didn't see what happened, but couldn't have been good.The highway wasn't much better, got in a bad tie up from a bad accident on the way out, then saw a fire truck in the same position blocking lanes so they could work the accident on the way back, several hours later...wait that can't be the same, nope another accident, just as bad, also needing everything but the far left lane blocked off. *sigh*

19. "The replacement refs win!" |
LAST EDITED ON 09-25-12 AT 00:29 AM (EST)Honestly, I didn't believe it was possible to referee a game more incompetently than the replacement refs did in the Sunday night Patriots-Ravens game. But the replacement refs at the Monday night Packers-Seahawks game took that not as a cautionary tale but as a challenge. And they succeeded! Those were unquestionably the two consecutive worst refereed games in NFL history, but the Monday night one was even worse! This pushed me over the brink. I'm giving up until the regular refs come back, if they come back. It stuns me that this whole fiasco starts with the fact that the NFL, the richest pro sports league in the history of the world, is putting this crappy product on the field because it wants to get out of paying its defined-benefit retirement plan to the part-timers who have served as NFL refs. My understanding is that the refs agreed to move to a defined contribution plan for new hires but drew the line at giving up vested pension benefits, and the NFL locked them out and put on this farce because the billionaires who own the teams couldn't live with that. By the way, I believe NFL owners are about evenly split between Democrats (Robert Kraft, Steve Tisch, Dan Rooney, Jeff Lurie, Arthur Blank, Steven Bisciotti, Zygi Wilf, Stan Kroenke) and Republicans (Jerry Jones, Dan Snyder, Clark Hunt, Alex Spanos, Woody Johnson, Stephen Ross, Robert McNair, Bill Bidwell), so this isn't a political thing. It's just a "destroy-your-product-in-order-to-make-more-money" thing.

I'm pushed over too. No more football for me until the refs are back.

17. "*shakes head*" |
LAST EDITED ON 09-25-12 AT 00:33 AM (EST)WORST.CALL.EVER Biggest MNF embarrassment ever and it looks good on the NFL for trying to be cheapskates with the refs and having this completely blow up in their faces thinking they could get away with having incompetent buffoons out there as replacements. Green Bay might as well have saved their flight tickets and hotel bookings and not bothered to show up, just forfeit the game. Hey... that's the first time I've ever seen a 00:00 AM as a post time. Cool.Upon further review, it's been overturned and the time is actually 12:00 noon on 09-24-12.

I don't care what procedures they have to shortcut or how bad a contract they have to give the real refs to get it done. If they don't get real refs back on the field before the next game, Badell needs to be hung yesterday if not sooner. Postpone the next week of games till January if you have to and delay the playoffs a week, but these fake refs must never work another game.

27. "The NFL lies to your face." |
The league is now claiming they will review and speak on the result of Monday's game at some point in the future.'Some point' was not even remotely specified. Nor who was the party they would speak to. Or whether a shrug constituted speaking.

32. "The official NFL response" |
NFL statement.Item 1, end of game (not): While the ball is in the air, Tate can be seen shoving Green Bay cornerback Sam Shields to the ground. This should have been a penalty for offensive pass interference, which would have ended the game. It was not called and is not reviewable in instant replay. Item 2: end of game: In the end zone, a ruling of a simultaneous catch is reviewable. That is not the case in the field of play, only in the end zone. Referee Wayne Elliott determined that no indisputable visual evidence existed to overturn the call on the field, and as a result, the on-field ruling of touchdown stood. The NFL Officiating Department reviewed the video today and supports the decision not to overturn the on-field ruling following the instant replay review. The result of the game is final. It's like, I ate my little sister's Halloween candy, but I didn't steal it!
