I like the bottom one with the url. Now back to football ...how long before a Green Bay fan tries to take out a ref with a sniper rifle.

I don't understand how that was reviewed and upheld.

My bigger beef is with the Hail Mary. Ban that fucking play. Or at least let the game end on a defensive penalty so the defenders can level any receiver waiting for the ball.

Yeah...umm..WTF. I'm just disgusted by that entire game, the refs wanted Seattle to win. There were so many bogus flags against the Packers, the roughing the passer call, the defensive pass interference call that should have been offensive....I'm still pissed.

On top of all that, the Packers offense sucked donkey balls.

Lingerie Football League says it fired refs now in NFL

http://fox6now.com/2012/09/25/lingerie-f...ired-refs/

If the ending of the Seattle Seahawks now-controversial win over the Green Bay Packers was the Monday Nightmare for the NFL’s replacement officials, today may be the Tuesday or Terror.

At least for a few crews who have now been outed by a bunch of girls in underwear.

Saying this statement was necessary due to the controversial call that saw replacement referees make what appeared to be the wrong call on a jump ball between M.D. Jennings and Golden Tate, the Lingerie Football League released a statement late Monday night saying that it fired several officiating crews that are now working as replacement refs in the NFL.

LFL Commissioner Mitchell Mortaza wrote that those crews were fired “due to … on-field incompetent officiating.”

He did not make any specific statements about whether any of those crews were officiating the Seahawks-Packers game.

Here is the entirety of Mortaza’s statement, which was posted to the LFL’s official Facebook page:

“Because of the LFL’s perception it is that much more critical for us to hire officiating crews that are competent, not only for the credibility of our game but to keep our athletes safer. Due to several on-field incompetent officiating we chose to part ways with with a couple crews which apparently are now officiating in the NFL. We have a lot of respect for our officials but we felt the officiating was not in line with our expectations.

We have not made public comment to date because we felt it was not our place to do so. However in light of tonight’s event, we felt it was only fair that NFL fans knew the truth as to who are officiating these games.”

Here, Speng, I'm sure this will make you feel better... the complete NFL statement on the issue:

In Monday's game between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks, Seattle faced a 4th-and-10 from the Green Bay 24 with eight seconds remaining in the game.

Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson threw a pass into the end zone. Several players, including Seattle wide receiver Golden Tate and Green Bay safety M.D. Jennings, jumped into the air in an attempt to catch the ball.

While the ball is in the air, Tate can be seen shoving Green Bay cornerback Sam Shields to the ground. This should have been a penalty for offensive pass interference, which would have ended the game. It was not called and is not reviewable in instant replay.

When the players hit the ground in the end zone, the officials determined that both Tate and Jennings had possession of the ball. Under the rule for simultaneous catch, the ball belongs to Tate, the offensive player. The result of the play was a touchdown.

Replay Official Howard Slavin stopped the game for an instant replay review. The aspects of the play that were reviewable included if the ball hit the ground and who had possession of the ball. In the end zone, a ruling of a simultaneous catch is reviewable. That is not the case in the field of play, only in the end zone.

Referee Wayne Elliott determined that no indisputable visual evidence existed to overturn the call on the field, and as a result, the on-field ruling of touchdown stood. The NFL Officiating Department reviewed the video today and supports the decision not to overturn the on-field ruling following the instant replay review.

The result of the game is final.

Applicable rules to the play are as follows:

A player (or players) jumping in the air has not legally gained possession of the ball until he satisfies the elements of a catch listed here.

Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3 of the NFL Rule Book defines a catch:

A forward pass is complete (by the offense) or intercepted (by the defense) if a player, who is inbounds:

(a) secures control of the ball in his hands or arms prior to the ball touching the ground; and

(b) touches the ground inbounds with both feet or with any part of his body other than his hands; and

© maintains control of the ball long enough, after (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, to enable him to perform any act common to the game (i.e., maintaining control long enough to pitch it, pass it, advance with it, or avoid or ward off an opponent, etc.).

When a player (or players) is going to the ground in the attempt to catch a pass, Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 1 states:

Player Going to the Ground. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball throughout the process of contacting the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete.

Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 5 states:

Simultaneous Catch. If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both players retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control. If the ball is muffed after simultaneous touching by two such players, all the players of the passing team become eligible to catch the loose ball.

With at least two refs right in that area, I don't see how they missed that shove.

This has been pretty much all that's been on the news here.

Wait until the end of the season when the loss prevents them from winning the division... or even a playoff spot.

That's what I'm concerned about, they are going to need every win.

Am I the only one thinking this but can we call the Roger Goodall era a failure yet?

Lang says Packers discussed extreme measures on flight home

Quote:Offensive lineman T.J. Lang told 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit on Tuesday that, during the flight home from Seattle, the players discussed the possibility of going on strike — or simply taking a knee on every offensive snap — until the lockout of the officials ends.

“Whatever it takes, it’s just a total embarrassment to everybody watching the game, the players in the game, it’s not fun to be part of something like that,” Lang told the Valenti & Foster show. “If it keeps going on, it’s going to get ugly. . . . Going into a game worrying about the refs more than the other team, it’s a problem. The NFL, the Commissioner, if they don’t take action after last night. . . . That should be the last straw.”
