Robbed and Jobbed

While everyone in the sporting world has already brought it up, I would be remiss to state that the referees made several calls last night that were complete bullshit. As I write this I am watching Ben Rothlisberger shave his beard on Letterman and even he admitted that he didn't score a TD on his 3rd down scramble. Many of these calls were so strange that it was almost as if the fix was on. While the referees did cheat, Holmgren and Jeremy Stevens' ineptitude were also contributing factors to the loss. If I were Paul Allen I would fire Holmgren for his incompetence at the end of both halves. Congratulations to Hines Ward for his MVP although what was up with not mentioning UGA in his introduction? Perhaps he only did this because he doesn't have a degree but it was still a bit of a slight to the South's oldest and most prestigious University. At any rate Football is officially over and I gotta say this NFL season was disappointing with not a lot of exciting games although NCAA football was quite enjoyable (except for the bullshit Sugar Bowl). On a political note, I would expect Fox news to manufacture some national news story about some missing white woman in the next couple of weeks less the public focus too intently on the Constitutional abuses chimpy is committing from his ivory tower in the white house. America has been deeply weakened by this administration and if Jeb Bush is elected in 2008 I would seriously consider moving to Canada because I would be ashamed to be associated with this country anymore. I suppose you have to hit rock bottom before you can pick yourself back up. That is a lesson many well-intentioned people will learn about in the following years who made the mistake of voting for the moron in chief. I'm going to go reread 1984 now. If you voted for Bush, why don't you pick up a copy as well.
