So Long, Sarcastiball ...

So, the NFL caves in to the regular refs and they come to an agreement that will put the regulars on the field for tonight's Thursday Night Football game.  It took the hilarious mess from Monday night to push them to the realization that something had to be done.

I don't like Green Bay.  I don't like Seattle, since they beat the beloved Cowboys a couple of games ago.  So, I was an impartial observer to Monday Night's drama.  I must say, it was very entertaining, unless you are a Green Bay fan, or a bookie that lost his shorts on the bad call.

The whole replacement ref story was in fact entertaining - like watching a train wreck or an auto accident in progress, you just couldn't look away.  As long as the bad calls, or lack of calls didn't hurt 'your team', it was pretty funny to watch.  Coaches turning red, players looking stunned, other players getting their clocks cleaned on illegal hits that drew no penalties ... a far cry from the 'Sarcastiball' that the NFL was pushing on us.

I am anxiously awaiting the response from all the sports talking head experts to the first blown call by the regular refs ...

For those of you who long for the lost days of fun and chaos that we've experienced in the first 3 weeks of the season, follow NE quarterback Tom Brady's example - just down a quart of Butter's Creamy Sports Drink, and all will be well.

For those of you who don't follow Southpark, the above references won't mean a damn thing.  Last night's season premier on Comedy Central was so timely, hilarious, and outrageous that I nearly busted a gut laughing ...
