Isn't this how all the NCAA finals games always have and always will be called? This isn't a change, just a realization of the omnipotence that is Jon Diebler.

Yes, but in the past the CBS officials were making the calls, with an eye toward the ratings. Now, Jon will make the calls while also considering the effect on the middle-east *and* the economy.

This is gonna be tough, I heard the Sunni community doesn't trust Diebler. Apparently he had a fling with a Shiite girl back when he was in college.

There was also a hooka pipe involved, but in a show of what a stand-up guy Jon really is, he fully admits to having inhaled. As soon as he turns 35, gets my vote for President.
