Somehow, the contest manages to continue, the teams adapt and the challenge (and the beat) goes on.
Has IR materially improved anything, or just shifted who's arguing about what?

I like instant replay to fix the obvious miss. To make the call that "50 people in a bar can agree on." As Blandino would say.
Replay seems to be going in a different direction this year with the new centralized system and Riveron personally making the decisions. I think he's being too technical and in some cases seeing things that just aren't there. |
