Sports are a funny thing. "Real men" idealize football as a battle of wills, a test of manhood, etc etc while mocking something like figure skating as an exhibition because judges make wonky decisions that reward the wrong contestants. And yet, last year, the Saints were screwed by a no call in the NFC Championship Game so egregious, the league changed the rules to address such a situation. Flash to yesterday, an exact situation the rule was intended to address - in a game the Saints were playing no less - is not used. How is that any different than the "East German judge" giving that 10 for a lousy routine. Like, if you hand the decision about who wins and who loses to referees (i.e. "judges") is there really any difference?
