Dick pick from Richard Sherman tonight.

Glad I got in early on my 49ers to win NFC bet. I got 49ers, Packers and Cowboys early when Saints, Rams and Eagles we’re run away favorites. Those bets looking better every week.

Watching the Steelers game. The theatrics when rudolf got knocked out was too much. Dude got hit in the jaw and knocked out. Back in the day they gave a guy smelling salts and he was back in the game 2 plays later. They make it out like he almost died. Wtf.

We need these guys to replace Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.

Marshmallow gives up easy sack of Brady. Looks the same as when he was a Packer.

Yup TD. I can't believe that dude got a starting gig w/ the Pats.

I just played Craig's video. I might investigate the SAP channel on Monday. I had been going mute with closed captions prior to this to avoid having a meltdown.

The NFL is going to have to bring back those veterans who figured out what a catch was. Because pass interference is a mess right now.

Crap like this basically confirms it: the refs are saying "FU, we don't get PI wrong. Stop throwing your damn red flags."

Its like home plate umpires and strike calls.

"We have thousands of examples of you calling low and off the plate as a strike. You need to stop."

"Judgement call. They all looked like a strike to me."

The funny thing to me was it was 35-14 near the end of the game. Just fucking called it the PI that it was and no one cares. You could have reversed that call and shown exactly the type of plays that should be reversed.

My Guess: They don't want the calls 'perfectly' correct, necessarily. They want the coaches to stop throwing red flags. The NFL is pushing the line that the PI review is ONLY for outrageous blown calls that decide games. Not for ordinary blown/close calls that happen as the game goes along. They don't want the authority of the refs on the field to be questioned as much, so they do not want to review or reverse close calls, even if the refs technically got them wrong. So right now it seems that they are 'retraining' the coaches not to throw the flag; effectively by not reversing obvious calls, they are punishing coaches for throwing the flag. Eventually gettin hit over the nose with a rolled up newspaper should stop the coaches from urinating on the field.

I think they’re just saying there is grey area, close calls real time and they’re just gonna stick with the refs judgement on any close call.
