Sites I figure you've seen by now....

....but which I just discovered today:

Why NFL refs are "the worst officials in all of professional sports."

How the officiating in Super Bowl XXXVI was part of a post-9/11 conspiracy.

Personally, I think it's cute when teenagers get computers for their birthdays or Christmas or whatever, but I thought we could all use a reminder that there are people like this out there.

One more reason to get the heck off the field and into your car as quickly as possible after a game.

I find it amusing that almost every post on zebrawatch.com is by "Anonymous"


That guy sure gets around!

Waste of time

The most telling quote is this:

"In fairness, I'm willing to accept that officials can't see everything (thought it's pretty pathetic that a professional NFL Official would miss such a blatant penalty). In Major League Baseball, for example, what will often happen is that the umpire will make up for the mistake by letting something slide later in the game, or perhaps calling a close play the other way."

Ahhh, fans....Can't live with them...Can't kill 'em.

Another guy who's never tried to do this and thinks it looks pretty damn easy from the couch.
