KNOCK IT DOWN!!!!


and we aren't having this conversation

everyone wants the INT now

Agreed. Why in the fuck is he trying to catch that ball? Pros doing boneheaded things that high school kids no better than to do - you don't catch INTs on hail marys you knock it down, you don't catch a punt inside the 10, you get the fuck out of the way on the receiving team when a punt is rolling on the ground, etc. - drive...me...crazy.

That said, I hate the way the NFL allows certain things to be reviewed and others to not. If you have a challenge - no matter the time of game, or the type of call - you should be allowed to review what you want reviewed. A holding call, feet in bounds, the legitimacy of a catch, etc. I understand why they can't review after a whistle has blown a play dead - everything else should be fair game. You limit the number of challenges, so that prevents long game delays. Everything else should be reviewable if that is what you choose to have reviewed. Simpler rule, easier to referee/manage, and better for making sure the call is right - all positives to be officiating.

NFL replacement ref was fired from LFL for this on-field faux-pas explanation of a non-call

ref: "there is no flag on the play ... the flag was thrown to distract from my huge boner"

This may be the first week in NFL history that the regular refs will get a standing ovation before the game.

as a sign of appreciation from the real refs, the corner covering Golden Tate in every game for the remainder of this season will get called for PI ... ON EVERY PLAY
