I gave up watching football years ago. The referees all too often acted like incompetent boobs who controlled the game (maybe they should become union presidents in their next life eh?).
Last nite was no different. These ass clowns were woefully inept. Funny thing was, i could have cared less about who won or lost. After watching the pathetic display on the refs part, i was pulling for Seattle just because of the unfairness of the whole thing. I still get mad at injustice and find myself way too vocal. Seems when i see things wrong, i have to speak out. Couple of questions: 1). Were the refs as bad as i saw 
2). Is it the injustice that drives us to do what we do

Quote: Were the refs as bad as i saw I'm afraid I can't say, as I didn't watch the spectacle. But I'm sure it hasn't changed much since the last time I viewed. I'm afraid I don't spend too much time in front the ol' cathode tube! I can never see all I need to see on this damn monitor, much less what's offered on tee vee! 
Quote: Is it the injustice that drives us to do what we do No, it's the madness we all possess within our tiny little brains that drives us, but the injustices fuel our resolve to be driven!

I did watch the game. parts of it. I watched it in the context of what's going on in the real world. I have to tell you it look'd absolutely bizarre, frivolous, ridiculous. That it was in detroit made it more so.
I think the guy interveiwed at a seattle bar when it was all over sums up the super_power - "That really hurts!". No buddy - this really hurts! We really need to examine and adjust our priorities. We believe that we deserve to celebrate and we deserve to forget about the pain and suffering, if just for a couple hours - we deserve that. What a great cop-out eh. I think we struggle against injustice's that we ourselves feel personally, injustices which grate our own being. That the grate is universally common is bonus. There were refs?

I had about 2 hours notice yesterday that I was throwing a superbowl/poker game party. Off I went to buy supplies (meaning a giant cartfull of grease and junkfood), got home and found out my oven didn't work. How the %#^* was I supposed to know that?? I need the thing less often than the Pieces of April chick does.
Ended up ordering in. No one really watched the game... although it seemed that the refs sucked (as usual... Bill, I've lost more than enough on bad ref calls!) The game itself was a bore in my eyes. Without a spread and gambling the NFL would cease to exist. My enjoyment was in thinking about how the gamblers were reacting to the calls and plays. Our biggest game debate was about whether the Rolling Stones enjoyed singing the same signature tunes for the 57,000th time in their careers. It's gotta be a phenomena like highway hypnosis or something. _________________ Henri Ducard: Your compassion is a weakness your enemies will not share. Bruce Wayne: That's why it's so important.

It's to keep the competitive spirit alive. All the better to pit race against race, class against class, religion against religion, men against men, men and women against each other. It ensures and perpetuates the industrial spin cycle.

Domestic-Violence Reports Spike on Super Bowl Sunday
Quote: Does all of the aggression generated on the playing field of the Super Bowl, an event that is watched by over 100 million Americans, activate or aggravate violent drives in men; or is there no connection whatsoever between the two extremes? _________________ "Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act."

Actaully one sports show made it all about the new America (computers and lattes) verses the old blue collar America, the lunch box steel town industrial revolution guys. |
