So even if big call Dave makes a call, the home team usually wins. So there, mr. blogger.
The correlation between points and who is working the games is kind of silly if you ask me. I have never understood why people attribute this to officials. If a team plays a high tempo game, it is not the officials that decide what they make or not make. This is just one more reason why you should not read what bloggers think or care about because they write something.
