Fantastic!!!!

Seriously. The officiating just continues to get worse and worse on levels of football, from High School, College, to Pro.


BTW, the NFL has nothing when compared the NBA at fixing game outcomes. Who can remember in the 2004 playoffs when the Lakers hit a three point shot against the Spurs with two-tenths of a second left? Impossible , but not if you have a league clock operator that doesn't start the shot clock on time. Thus the Lakers (large TV market) go to the finals.

They've been fixing Laker games 1972. I still remember Manny Sokol's overlooking the backcourt violation that helped LA dethrone Milwaukee and win their first title that year.

And how about the riot in Chicago Stadium in 1973 after the refs waved off Chet Walker's winning bucket at the buzzer and ran like blazes for the locker rooms? Who won? The Lakers of course. It was like something I used to see going to old time wrestling matches in Georgia.

I gave up the NBA when my beloved Bucks gave Kareem to the hated Lakers and the rights to Dr. J to the Sixers for a bum named Fred Carter. I quit the NBA right there. And haven't missed a thing since.

Well, evidently you can't. There were .4 seconds left, not .2. Maybe in a few years, it'll be "3 passes and a shot from half-court with no time left on the clock!" At least get your conspiracy straight. So you think someone from the NBA called the clock operator and told him to give the Lakers extra time? Geeez.
