But you still know that Vegas pays the officials off, right?

"Fanboy is a term used to describe any individual who is devoted to a single subject in an emotional or fanatical manner, or to a single point of view within that subject, often to the point where it is considered an obsession." unless you consider somebody who is obsessed to be an irrational idiot, i would have to disagree. i hate the term fanboy anyways, it sounds so stupid. anyways, you calling me a fanboy JUST because i said something somebody else claimed i already knew makes no sense. that's why i started this discussion. just because i said something somebody else claimed i already knew doesn't make me an irrationally obsessed idiot. it doesn't even make sense. of course you could have just been responding with a generic statement to the guy who said this and had no idea to what he was responding to.

It seems, PackersFTW, you suffer from a misconception. Although you have every right to form your opinions on whatever basis you so choose, there is no automatic guarantee that your opinion makes any sense or that anybody else must agree with you.
Despite your vast "viewing experience", you seem oblivious to the basic fact that although many plays may be very similar, no two plays are exactly alike and despite consistent effort, over long periods, and repetitve mechanics study and review, it's very unlikely that covering officials are in exactly the same spot and have exactly the same unobstructed view for any two plays, similar or not. What you designate as clearly, "a fumble after possession" is your opinion. You're certainly welcome to opine, "i'd say more often than not, split second possessions are incorrectly called incomplete when they had a firm grasp on the ball and both feet down", but what you seem to have a lot of difficulty accepting is that what you opine, doesn't really matter all that much, beyond the limited confines of your opinion. Knowing the rules and the language of the rules is important, but al least as important, is the common sense and feel for the game to know how to apply the rules for the reasons and purpose they were created. Remember, in the final analysis, it really doesn't make any relevant difference, "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin". |
