The Refs have screwed me for the last time !!!

[spanky2]

I have 3 plays leading through the Super Bowl and I bet Rams -10 on Monday.But that's it !!!
The fuching refs ,year in and out have RUINED this sport I loved since the 70's.
I have had it ,they gave the Bears every break possible,then the New England game. I really don't need this crap.
I used to enjoy sports ,but the REFS feel they HAVE to control the game.
I will 'ride my plays through the Super Bowl' and then spend time with my wife and two children and start to be more of a father,instead of spending 20 -30 hours watching and 'cappin'games.What a waste.And it's not as if I get paid to do this. I know most 'players are between 20 and 40 and have a small or no family to worry about,but I do NOT fit this profile.
It was great 10 or 20 years ago but when some part-time accountant is making calls like tonight,I sort of saw the light,it's BULLSHIT and how many people can say they have won over a 20 year period ???Not many honest people..
Anyway,I got the 3 NFC teams left to win the S.Bowl,so I'll ride that out ,then ride off into the sunset..
Good luck guys,I'll pop in to see who's doing what,but call me Spanky the family man now. Oh, and I had N,Eng too.......:nono:

be careful tomorrow if you like either road dog...disturbing trend last couple years in playoffs...this year even worse...refs very reluctant to throw flags on home teams...this year may be a result of cleveland debacle earlier this year....needless to say bad call in pats game would not have been overturned if game was being played in oakland.two penalties(TOTAL)called against home teams today.was lucky to have philly and +3.5 in pats game.good luck tomorrow.

Everybody who had the Raiders feels like they got screwed. I don't blame them for that, even though the rule was interpreted correctly by the refs. It is a bad rule. However, bad calls in sports have gone on since the inception of the games and will continue to go one whether there is replay or not. Go back to last year and you will find crucial and questionable calls that affected the outcome of scores of football games, basketball games, baseball games, etc. Even though these type of losses are hard to accept, questionable calls will always be with us. I could babble on forever about other calls (the lateral or), but there are too many to even mention. What about the calling of balls and strikes, etc. Take a deep breath and try to remember when you won a bet on a bad call. Good luck in playoffs.

That'shy they put replay into effect to get rid of these kind of calls As far as how they interpreted it I guess thats up for debate Chicago got every freaking break possibe and where were all the calls Rice deserved Law was all over him Hope today this kind of crap does'nt happen reguardless who wins:nono:

 

[spanky2]

Scooter,That is my point EXACTLY.
Plus,I've had enough of betting 20 year old college kids to try to make me some money( Betting on college sports) .
Everybody is trying to get into your pocket all the time,guys don't pay when you win,the fuchin refs are 'homers' worse than EVER-just look at yesterday and this Pitt.game.What BullShit...
So I'll sit on my G.Bay ,Rams, and Eagles futures and see what happens.
What and who will screw things up next ??
Pay for replay ?? Who the heck knows ,because I sure give up.... Luck to all SPANKY................

Pass is an incomplete if in the process of pump faking or IN THE PROCESS of tucking it..........

Brady had already tucked it and in fact was drawing the ball out again when the fumble occurred........

Announcers are idiots and caused this "interpretation" problem and so are the blind ref.......

I had teh Pats at -2.5 so obviously I am not seeing things as I wished to see them but the call was terrible and the peopel who are waving this "interpretation" crap around did not see the play as it was.......

I thought the ref was supposed to have conclusive evidence to overturn the call.....in fact the conclusive evidence was that Brady tucked the ball drew it out again and fumbled.....the arm going forward had nothing to do with it as the fumbled occurred after the fact........Gruden should have sat on the 50 yardline at that point until the refs got their head out of their ass and ruled correctly......

i must agree ,the refs blew the call

i must agree ,the refs blew the call

i love how nobody mentions the blow to the head issued by woodson to brady, that is a personal foul, so the fact that the pass was incomplete or it was a fumble should not even have matter but the incompentant refs could have avoided this contraversy by making the right call
