Well, the plan is to go to the one by Hooters. That way I can make way over there to have a brew... I mean to eat... I mean to watch sports (uhhh, any games on tomorrow?

)

For any of our football guys out there who might be interested, I just heard that the Monday Night Football game is being played with only six officials instead of the usual seven. The back judge injured his hamstring on a touchdown play early in the game and was unable to continue.

And since the crew is short a member, of course, the game goes to overtime.

The OT lasted a mere 16 seconds. The kick-off was returned to the 18. The first play was an 82-yard TD pass down the left sideline.

SportsCenter just showed the TD play by the Packers with 3:33 left in the 1st quarter on which the back judge injured his hamstring. He collided with a Denver player and went down. The sportscasters made a crack about the official not making an athletic play and then laughed as the screen showed him being helped off the field.

Can we please stay on off-topic? Or open a football thread? Sheesh.

Back Judge Jim Howey #37 went down with a hamstring injury and back spasms when it looked like a GB WR reversed field.

Jim is the fourth official to go down in 8 weeks: U96 U. Wash, U124 Swing Official C. Paganelli, HL21 J. Schleyer have all been injured.

Edit: I usually check for typos! Ooops.
