I'm so sick of defenseless receiver rules. They're good in theory, and very much needed, but these fucking clowns don't even understand them so they never apply them correctly. Every time a defenseless receiver penalty should be called, they let it go. Every time a receiver is legally hit, they...
First of all, for some reason it's headline material that Anthony Barr wasn't fined for the hit that injured Aaron Rodgers. It was a legal hit, so that headline is essentially Water is Wet.
Anyway, since that injury I've been thinking about whether or not that hit should be illegal. First...
Paying attention to scores and will watch the Wolves when they're on, but it's the second season in a row I have no enthusiasm whatsoever for the NBA. The regular season and playoffs are completely arbitrary right now and that fucking blows.
All of which doesn't matter because there was no definitive proof that he never regained possession and therefore, because the on-field ruling was a TD, it couldn't be overturned. The touchdown call should have stood, according to that rule. They needed definitive proof that he never regained...
A couple of points on Rodgers: 1. Any time a 30+ player goes down to serious injury, the game of football is badly hurt. I love watching Rodgers and hate that we've just had possibly 10+ games of his prime stolen from us by a bad fall. Let it be a lesson to QBs--don't brace your fall, especially...

These numbers are absurd. That doesn't happen without an agenda on Morelli's part
The Eagles corners are playing well above what was expected and it'll only get better when Darby comes back. This Eagles defense is fast and disciplined, and wow can they tackle.
As for the offense, you could tell the OL was missing its best player last night. Vitai is certainly a solid player...

How many prime time games does Jerome Boger's crew need to ruin with endless borderline penalties before they either fire him or stop letting him officiate nationally broadcast games? This is fucking ridiculous.
