Oof. That is a deeply unsexy expression on James Deen’s face.

where else could rosa have sat

One time my university made all campus buses reserve the front seats in respect to Rosa Parks on the anniversary of that day, so they put a cardboard cuttout of her on those seats. So I get on the bus, which is pretty crowded, and a black student behind me was like “this is bullshit, i still have to go sit in the back…

Chicago politicians being shady as fuck? Did not see that coming.

Illinois politics as usual

So, Chicago politics as usual?

Jesus, what a laundry list of crooks with connections!

Chicago is winning in the politics lottery again? That never happened before.

Leia’s ignorance of basic tradecraft was the reason the rebel alliance was almost wiped out at the battle of Yavin. She knew that there was a tracking device on the Falcon and still took them directly to the main rebel base anyway. That’s after she got herself captured getting the death star plans in the first place.

This punishment compounds the problem. It clearly implicates that some games are less deserving of quality officiating. In a season where practically every team is still “in it,” and in a country where gambling and fantasy have driven soaring NFL popularity, I’m surprised they would expect working a game featuring…

Yes, there were some calls that could have gone either way. And what is particularly frustrating about the NFL is that they could call offensive or defensive holding on every play, and sometimes the timing of when these calls are made seem to be more for or less beneficial for a certain team in a certain game.

They have more or less the same schedule as the network announcers — fly in Friday, do some pre-game work on Saturday, then it’s showtime. Maybe they do a conference call on Tuesday or Wednesday with the league office, but there’s no way to improve officiating if it’s a part-time job.

I was watching the game with my friend from Denver. He thought the Pats got screwed too.

It’s known as “The Vatican Plan.”

Yeah but where fewer people can see it.

No, college refs are not better. They are much worse. Ask a Pac-12 fan.

So demotion just means no prime time? So, really, because they proved incompetent in their job, the punishment is really for a different pair of teams to have to play around bad officiating?

You see, the problem is the fact that they’re not full-time NFL employees. On Tuesday, most go back to their regular jobs as pharmaceutical test subjects or guys who shoot birds at the airport.
