You're a Champ, Sport
Ok, first things first. The NFL needs to do something about how they make calls. Time after time they made the wrong call this weekend. True, they made the correct calls according to the rules, but the rules made them call the play incorrectly. I am not a Pats fan, but they got screwed, twice. Once on a pass interference, which I can see both ways (incidental contact, but he did cut off the receivers path) and a second, the fumble out of the end zone. Seriously, that was a touchback. Thumbs up (or a Borat, "Wowie!") to Ben Watson for tracking down Champion Champ Baily, but a thumbs down (or a Borat, "Es not nice) to Champ for not hustling. How many peoples minds went right to Don Bebe and Leon Lett at that moment?
According to the rules, it was inconclusive and was out at the one yard line, as called on the field. BUT playoff games should not be decided by inconclusive calls. First, how about a ref that can RUN down the field? Ben Watson, a 230lb tight end got there quicker than Mr. Ref. Second, how about a damn camera somewhere? What about a stupid GPS chip in the football (plus, that would be cool for the fans who can see how far the ball was thrown each game). Do SOMETHING so that doesn't happen again, please.
Troy Polamalu. What a catch he made. Oh wait, it wasn't a catch because he didn't make a football move. He caught the ball, 2 feet on the ground, rolled over, had his arm make significant contact with the ground (while the ball stayed put, firmly), bounced up, kneed it out of his hands, and picked it right up. But since he didn;t make a football move, it was an incomplete pass. I wish I can use that excuse.
"You see boss, I walked into my office, got the paper work, walked into the meeting with the work and my notebook, gave my presentation, but since I didn't sit in my office chair before coming in because I was in a rush, it should not count against me that we did not get approved for the project."
Anyway, long story short, football season with no Pats games in Boston, sucks. It does. I wish they won, only to lose somewhere else down the line. It's good to see a new champion, but maybe that is jealousy talking. Whenever the Eagles/Penguins win (which could be never, seriously), I will expect nothing less than a championship the next season.
