Saw this bumped thread, and Freshinthehouse you were the first person I thought of. I don't nessecarily believe in ghosts and what not but do love a good story. Freshinthehouse, you probably won't see this for a while but were you the gentleman who had told me about the account involving a baby's crib?

I was there and Bert only swore once! He is getting tame in his old age.

The defense was not impressive from the get go and the Lion's themselves bailed out the D a couple time. But the Vikes offense is not doing the D any favors. Be it short fields from punts on their own 10yd line to turn overs at mid field or even worse. Not to mention the lopsided time of possession. That really wears on a D. Even when we do score it seems to be on big plays, not long sustained drives. That's the kind of thing that pays off at the end of the game. Keeping the Vikes D fresh and wearing down the opponent's D.

For a second I thought you were predicting Correia's pitch count through two

Anyone have access to WSI? Knowing their propensity to be chicken littles, its gotta be pure gold over there right now.

Did that fan have a "turn ahead the clock" jersey?!?!

First fify that was literal and appreciated.

Listening to dick/bert talk about Detroit I swear they are doing their best http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mMBbwErd59k/Tnkxr0xXsII/AAAAAAAAAO8/FZ3dFxYavTo/s1600/article-1005361-00C3FFBE00000578-7_468x328.jpg[/image] impression

What's the latest in a season that an entire division has had the exact same record? Obviously it has to be more than 4 games but looking at the standings just got me thinking.

when it was first started it slowly became "sad statistical facts" instead of "fun with numbers" which is intended to be a place to post manipulations of small sample sizes and unsustainable numbers etc.....so let that be a lesson everyone. Have "fun" with numbers.

The Twins are on pace to hit 108 home runs this year which would put them 2nd to last for team home runs in 2012! In a completely related fun with numbers both Plouffe and Willingham are on pace to hit 54 home runs each!

I agree that its not as cut and dry as everyone is making it out to be (although imo the call was incorrect) nor is it the worst blown call ever. The media is acting like this is something as obvious as a ball bouncing a yard infront of a reciever and calling it a complete pass/td. This is just confirmation bias. Everyone was waiting and wanting a call like this to happen so that they could justify freaking out.

O_o wow um yea. I guess I was wrong. I'll admit I took a lil pleasure in watching the packers get screwed over. But I do have to give them credit. Coming out onto the field for the extra point was very classy.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8400480/flags-replacements-regular-refs-same I am not defending the replacement refs. Honestly I don't care. It'll all work itself out in the wash. But what I find interesting is that the things ppl complain the most about the stats don't back up. Even the complaint about longer games..........a whopping 6 minutes longer.......doesn't seem so bad. Granted I think Percy's pass interference should have been a no call and unfortunate they use his rant as an example. I still feel that's something that easily could have been called by the "old" officials. I am a big proponent of adjusting your game to the officials. This is why I will never be completely for eliminating umps in the MLB (stirkes and balls) I feel its part of the gamesmanship.

Paper beats bull. Yea I dont think you're doing that right.

I honestly can't wait for the regular refs to be back. Not because of the bad calls or the "flow" of the game being disrupted. I can't wait so that I dont have to listen to every idiot fan in the bar blame every call on the replacement ref. I was watching the Cowboys Giants game and after every call you would hear a host of moan and yells of "f'n replacements". Some were warranted but most weren't. I almost laughed outloud at a guy who yelled "damn replacements!" after a blindingly obvious false start. Again I can't wait until we can move on from complaining about replacement refs and get back to complaining about the regular refs.
