More Money For Big Oil, Replay Is Here To Stay

San Francisco, always a 'pc' type of town is banning plastic bags from their grocery stores. The United States was formed upon the concept of a free market and limited legislation to hinder the growth and prosperity of a business, aka the American Dream. You can see how far we have come from that original premise to today when our government now tells you what you can and can not offer as a means of transporting your goods from their shop. American governments are out of control with law happy politicians. I continue to say it won't be long before everyone in this country is criminal.

And this is such bullshit again, oil prices increase on the mere 'threat' of something. If nothing happens oil prices remain high. If something happens they go even higher. I'm am about tired of the big oil companies artificially inflating prices for any reason. I'm 99.9% positive that oil companies will report astronomical profits for this quarter as they have for the past 2 years.

The NFL has made replaying calls an 'official' rule and will remain a part of the game forever...or until the rule is changed. The system that has been in use in recent years seems to work well. Coaches can determine when they want to have a play reviewed. It will of course will be interesting to see how the NFL adds or subtracts the type of 'reviewable' items. The quick whistle still remains a problem, that is when a referee has blown the play dead and the ball may have clearly been loose.

And after getting the boot from Monday Night Football Joe Theismann has been offered to do college games with ESPN/ABC sports. In the article it seemed as if Theismann might be hesitant about taking the position because he is an NFL guy. Boy that sure would be sad if we have heard the last of Theismann's rants....NOT!
