At this point the replacement referees have pretty much taken all the comedy out of football.  I think we all agree that this has gone from “date night” to “game night,” which is to say bad to worse.  When America’s team gets screwed on Monday Night Football, you know there’s a serious problem.  Oh, I did go there Cowboys fans.  Deal with it. The only bright spot here is that the crisis has encouraged NFL players to communicate their frustrations via the written word.  (See also: Twitter.)  A whole bunch of respectable secondary education providers out there are praying they stop the game opening introductory sequence where these guys tell everyone where they went to college.  And by “went to college,” I obviously mean “where they were paid to play football before they were legally paid to play football.” The bottom line here is that the bad calls, no calls, and missed calls are directly affecting fantasy football stats and my feelings are best summed up by the words of the great Walter Sobchak who once said “Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules? Mark it zero!” Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way – let’s try to work out some real aggression.
