Yeah, the rules will be changed, etc. (and Payton is on the Competition Committee), but some consolation, right? And I’m glad someone brought up the mugging of Ginn at the start of the fourth. But on the subject of leading with the head, Cory Littleton got away with two – the one that knocked Josh Hill out of the game…

The best part of the game for me was when they showed highlights of the Saints bounty-hunting in the 2009 championship game while the announcers talked about “rule changes” as the reason for the “different style of play” in that game.

That entire officiating crew should be fired and banned from any level of football, hell, any sport. Penalties are part of football but Jesus Christ, that’s the textbook definition of DPI. 

The conspiracy theory I’m going with is that the NFL wanted the Rams in the Super Bowl so people in LA might actually start paying attention to football.

That’s what makes it even worse. Robey wasn’t even making an attempt on the ball. In fact, if he feared he was going to get beat for the touchdown that would even be better for his team because at least they would have had a chance if the penalty was called as it should have been.

I usually say that if a bad call beats you, it is your own fault for letting it be that close. But this was absolutely brutal. Like Armando Gallaraga perfect game brutal. If they are going to miss something like that, then watching a game is almost pointless and you can just watch a random number generator do its…

I wonder if the Saints receivers hadn’t been interfered with to end those drives, maybe THEY would have “looked like the better team” and been rewarded with a trip to the superbowl. It’s easy to look like the better team when you get away with penalties that completely stop the opposing offense.

I have no horse in this race at all but man that stings. What a horseshit no call, maybe the worst ever. Completely robbed. How Sean Payton could hang around and do an interview afterwards without losing his shit is beyond me

They're smocking hot

He forgot to show off the concession stand section, where they have mouth-watering reheated hamberders for sale.

“The biggest crowd in the history of sports, folks, I have to tell you!”

I don’t know if Gillette razors cut into hair better than other razors, but nothing cuts into a person better than the truth.

I cannot believe anyone would have a problem with this ad. They should be ashamed of themselves.

It’s been a great run, lads.

This will be sorely missed.

NOOOOOOO, MY FAVORITE KOTAKU ARTICLE! NOW I HAVE TO FIND THESE QUOTES ON MY OWN?!

I’m sad to hear that the column is ending. I have mark my weekend’s beginning by its sudden, reliable, presence on Kotaku Saturday Mornings. It brought articles to me that typically expanded on trends that other game blogs were covering, which I enjoyed.
I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

too bad! this was my favorite regular Kotaku column :(

Only stormtroopers are so precise
