I was playing miniature golf with friends several years ago. A young couple and their two daughters were behind us. A few holes in we realized that the girls were named Jenna and Jameson.

Looks like mocking all those Duke fans really came back to bite UNC fans in the ass.

Looks like the ACC wanted to make sure they have a team in the playoffs!

Wait, all calls? So every holding penalty, every illegal contact penalty, every time both teams jump at the quarterbacks cadence and 22 guys point at each other should be a booth review? Can they review non-calls too? The missed block in the back on a kick return?

Then there’s largely no point to officials at all. After every play, just go to review to get the spot, and check each player for holding, etc...

The biggest reason the Lions lost is because their DBs appeared to have no clue how to defend a hail mary pass.

That would be terrible. I mean, can you imagine how much arguing/complaining would happen. 99% of fans don’t actually know what constitutes pass interference: case-in-point the supposed interference of Abbradaris a couple plays earlier. That was not pass interference according to the rules, but most people think it is.

ALL calls? ALL? As in every call or non-call?

I, for one, look forward to six hour long football games with 4 1/2 hours worth of commercials.

As a biased Packer-loving homer, I love the call. As a reasonable and prudent person, you’re precisely correct. We probably shouldn’t have gotten the call, but at full speed it looked like a blatant attempt to do whatever it took to bring Rodgers down, and that he just got unlucky. Taylor seemed like he was going to…

Yeah, that one.

This is exactly what I said in the comments after the game. I don’t think he facemasked Rodgers, but a line judge is going to make that call 100 times out of 100, and I don’t think that’s wrong. Every indicator of a facemask happened.

“Which is true? The thing we saw, or the granular, artificially enhanced, retroactive display of what actually happened? And in a football game, what defines what’s true, if not the the necessarily limited and subjective knowledge of the officials who are specifically awarded the power to interpret observed actions…

De Jure basically means by the letter of the law, regardless of how it is actually applied; pretty sure you meant to use de facto there.

To make this even more complicated, there’s a reading of the rulebook that you could use to argue the penalty was legit. From Article 14, emphasis mine:

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team go for the wacky lateral play when their quarterback is close enough to throw a Hail Mary. Wacky lateral plays are only employed when the team is deep in their own territory.

Arm strength. Rodgers can throw the ball 70 yards in the air and get it to land in the end zone.

I would be down for all highlight videos on Deadspin to be in Spanish. More fun, and I hate those dummies speaking English but I still can’t understand what they are saying.
