Can you recommend any good non-officiating sites that welcome open and honest discussion? What would be the top 3?

I doubt many of us even look at sites like that.

What's sad about this whole thread is that the orignal poster, while perhaps not tactfully stated, really did have a valid point.

I actually counted 2-3 plays in the first half where I, based on the types of fouls that were being called, expected Oden to pick up a foul but he did not. Far less contact was called a foul against the Florida big men but Oden was permitted more contact. Why? I have no idea. I'll make no claim that there was anything sinister behind it.....it may have merely been due to the position the refs had....but Oden did get lucky to avoid a whistle a few times.

Not really, apparently he got worn out from playing too many minutes.

Since this seems to be the Official Fanboy Stupid Comment Thread, I'll post this tidbit here. Those of you who know me know that I have no life and so I get great joy from dumb things like the Tony Kornheiser radio show. I love the show, I love PTI, I love Tony and Wilbon together (not that there's anything wrong with that).

This morning on Tony's radio show, Wilbon said that was "angry" about the officiating in the Final Four because "the officials are too stupid" to let the big men play. I was shocked by that, b/c I don't remember ever hearing Wilbon make comments about any sports' officials being stupid.

Don't look for Wilbon on PTI tonight, tho. He's playing golf in Arizona.

I'm sure Oprah, Dr. Phil, and "The People's Court" would be in my top 3.
