Yeah, I mean, I thought the Rams/Saints PI no-call was about as bad as it gets, especially given the stakes, but last night was on a different level. Booger McFarland may be among the worst to ever call sports games, but even he notched a W for rightfully shitting on the refs during the broadcast.
Patriots - I'm not interested in this shit that the media drums up every season in recent years that the Patriots might be done, they don't look the same as they used to, blah blah blah. They're trying it again this year so far. It is true that they've gone 6-0 against a series of teams that is among the most dogshit lineup of cupcakes a team has ever been fortunate enough to face off against in a single season. But you can hear them starting already - They haven't played anyone yet, Brady's looking shaky, they're getting banged up on offense and he has to throw to nobodies (like Julian Edelman), etcetc. All this so that when the Pats once again get a first round bye, have everything fall their way in the playoffs, and Brady throws 30 screens to a wide open receiver and their RB's score 4 touchdowns in a Super Bowl which their defense will limit the opponent to 14 points to make it #7, they can once again start fellating Brady and declaring this the single greatest overcoming of adversity that a sports team has ever accomplished to win a title. I want to be wrong about this pretty badly.
But at least I can take some solace in seeing that the Cowboys are meeting expectations ahead of schedule. What a joke of a team. Their fans are as insufferable as Pats fans but forget 6 super bowls, they don't have 6 playoff wins they can remember since 96. They talk about winning cultures and losing cultures around sports teams and how it makes a difference, the Cowboys have perhaps the only example of a long-time fake winning culture. America's Team and all that nonsense. I can see how it's pretty easy for this to pervade from Jerry on down and basically make it impossible to have a team that's capable of rising to serious challenges, when they act like it's a foregone conclusion that /this/ year, with /this/ roster, you can pretty much book a NFC championship appearance, before they've played a single game. And yet, after going 3-0 against the worst teams in the league, they now find themselves neck and neck in a division that by all means they probably should have ran away with. Maybe once they do something about that coach. /Maybe/.
