Common sense says that it's -Baseball- every play determined by umpire -Soccer/hockey- game potentially determined by penalty kicks/shots - - -Basketball- points directly awarded -Football- no points directly awarded And if you look at the homecourt advantage for each of these sports (which are strikingly similar across leagues), it's the exact same order. | ||

Actually Hockey calls are pretty arbitrary just like football calls, but refs don't call judgement calls in playoffs nearly as much as in the regular season. | ||

Like, that Antonio Brown play, as much as it was definitely a penalty, the Steelers called that play with the sole intention of getting that exact thing to happen. If Brown catches the ball right there, they probably don't even get to kick a field goal. There needs to be a rule about recivers ducking their heads, because that is the cause of the majority of illegal hits. Mike Tomlin calling a play risking the health of his best receiver for 15 yards? Come the fuck on, dude. Not only did Ben say after the game they were trying to run a lot of small short passes since his shoulder really hurt, but I don't see how AB was "ducking his head" on that play. | ||

No timeouts with under fifteen seconds left. That play is a failure unless DPI or a personal foul is called. They definitely traded AB's brain cells for a victory on that play. If not by the intention of the play call, by the execution that is the only way they get a positive result. And AB's head was at about halfway between nipple and belly button height when he got hit, and I've seen lower. The point is that defensive players can't be expected to lower thier point of contact mid-tackle, this has been irking be since Kyle Fuller got called earlier this year and he was at belly button height. | ||

"Soon it was commonplace for entire teams to change cities in search of greater profits. The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles where there are no lakes. The Oilers moved to Tennessee where there is no oil. The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City where they don't allow music." St. Louisan here, my Facebook feed is saltier than the Dead Sea right now. Reddit keeps delivering. | ||

Even if it wasn't the piece of shit who was blatantly trying to hurt people his entire career, it was an obviously late, gross, disgusting hit. He didn't even come close to his body, so you can't enough cough it to something insane like 'player clearly about to get drilled in the face bracing for impact' | ||

That presents its own problems. Refs swallowing their whistles in the postseason leads to Steelers-Bengals type games. | ||

Let's face it: no one who is available and interested is superstar coach material. That ship sailed when the Niners gave Harbaugh the boot. What the Niners need first and foremost is a coach who can rebuild the credibility and respectability of the organization. Shanahan is more than equipped to do that. | ||

Chip Kelly can probably do the job as well. I'd say that the material difference is that Chip has both a higher up side and lower down side than Shanahan. With the Niners rumored to be choosing between those two, I'm okay with how things are going. | ||
