"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America."

Belicheck punches a-hole ref
Bill Belicheck is totally in the right to punch a substitute ref after his Patriots lost to the Ravens, 31-30 on a last-second FG. The officiating ranged from bad to awful and seemed to favor the Ravens by a 3-1 ratio when mistakes were made. Bill will get a big fine for this, but the greedy POS commissioner and the a-hole owners he shills for will pay in the long run for underpaying their regular refs. Having taught at FIU Ryder Business school, I am aware that the downfall of a preposterously profitable enterprise like the National Football League could ensue if the nickel-and-diming of the field referees results in close games going the other way. That's what happened in Baltimore and I hope Kraft reimburses Bill for his momentary loss of composure.
UPDATE Here's the ridiculous call on the final play of the Packer/Seahawk game which is convincing me to avoid the NFL on TV until the league gets a Commissioner who understands the basic framework of human nature. This greedy pompous ass has got to go. Where is Pete Rozelle or even Tagliabue when you really need them?
