The "Nazi gold" line killed me. +1

No one has ever claimed the regular refs were perfect or didn't blow calls. The reason most people were engaging in "vitriol and hand-wringing" over the replacement refs was that the NFL was actively insulting everyone's intelligence by pretending Division III and Lingerie Football League refs could do anywhere near…

Sorry, that angle shows no such thing. Tate's left hand is in between Jennings' arms and may be touching the ball, but his right hand is clutching Jennings' right wrist and doesn't come close to showing possession until they hit the ground. And the photos after they hit the ground show Tate's right arm wrapped around…

On that video, Austin has a lot more "control" of the ball than Tate had at any point in the play last night. He had both hands around the ball, as did Cromartie. Last night, Jennings had both hands on the ball in the air and ended up on the ground with both arms wrapped firmly around the football. Meanwhile, Tate mayb…

Excellent point, and one that's getting lost in the furor. It reminds me of the Hochuli game a few years back (Chargers-Broncos), where Ed was allowed to overturn his call of incomplete pass to a fumble, but was not allowed to award the Chargers possession on replay even though Tim Dobbins clearly recovered the ball…

On both the Lions' Hail Mary that sent the Detroit-Tennessee game to OT this week and the one a couple years back where Jacksonville beat Houston on a Hail Mary, the DB tried to swat the ball down and it ended up deflecting into a receiver's arms for the TD. So it's not as clear cut as you make it out to be. Jennings…

It's a little difficult to tell at which point it goes past the crossbar, but after a couple viewings it looks like it just missed.

Wrestling Superstar Virgil?

I don't doubt that the oddsmakers are sharp enough to do this - but why expose yourself and your business to unnecessary risk when you can balance the books and take a guaranteed cut? Let the professional gamblers try to outsmart the public.

Watch A Kentucky Student Do The World’s Worst Job Of Pitching A Tent

Smiling and nodding is what dads do when they know they're going to ruin their kids' shit later that day, and want the kids to fear their impending doom. Stern still wins, at least until an NFL player goes to Twitter to announce that his jersey will read "Goodell's Bitch".

Pretty good analysis, though it can only rank second in lyrical analysis to this gem (OC Weekly's Greg Stacy breaking down the lyrics to Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl"):

Shame on you, Erin, for trying to distract us all from the real issue concerning Jesus...

Well played. Didn't get it at first either.

Very meta of you.

Funny, the week before when Tampa was ahead of Carolina late, Freeman kneeled down three times to finish running out the clock and not one Carolina player pushed him after the fact. It's a cheap shot.

Because the game is over and you don't want to hurt someone in that situation. All Schiano accomplished was ensuring that when the Bucs are in a situation to kneel down (like they were at the end of the previous week's game against Carolina), the other team is going to come bursting through the line and take a shot at…
