Originally posted by dslaw View PostThere have been a lot of late hits and hits like the Heyward-Bey one that aren't called. The longer these hits go on without penalties the more the players will do them. The more cheap shots are taken the more players will get hurt. All of the hits are not just by the defense. I saw London Fletcher on the ground after the whistle and a Rams O lineman jumped on him, no penalty. Unfortunately it may take 3 or 4 more guys getting carted off before the owners realize their investment is being harmed. It will never stop, even with the real refs back, but the number of cheap shots certainly seems to be on the rise with these refs on the field."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

401k's is a great way to force people to put money in the stock market so the 1% can play with it. one of the greatest rip-offs of all time... sure you might make money or lose some, but it's not a pension. it's just a way for other ppl to take your money and do whatever they want with it.

Even when there are multiple errors - play better, and it won't matter.
The Seahawks didn't deserve to win.
Did the Packers? Compared to the Seahawks, yeah. In the grand scheme of things? Meh.
They should have played better, and they didn't, and this is what happened.
And if I were a Packers fan, I'd take solace in knowing that at least their focking didn't happen in a Super Bowl like Seahawks-Steelers - a game-long, systematic smacking.
P.S. Yes, I'd like to see the "real" refs back, and no I won't pretend that will be the end of any bad officiating..."Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
"Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"

As long as people keep watching, ratings remain high, tickets and merchandise continue to sell, and sponsors are satisfied (a function of the first and second points), the owners don't care about anything else. The only way to force their hand is for fans to stop going to games or watching them. And that's not gonna happen as long as we don't get replacement players again.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.
