Refs Stick It To Chargers. Again!
How did Marvin Harrison get that much separation between he and Quentin Jammer on that fourth and inches play?
Answer: Umpire Jeff Rice of the officiating crew.
That blurry thing Jammer runs into is Jeff Rice.
Check out this video on the NFL Network. At 3:40 you’ll see Jeff Rice laying his shoulder into Jammer, allowing Harrison and Peyton Manning to play catch in the back yard.
Did Rice try to break up Jammers coverage of Harrison’s route?
Could Jammer have avoided running into Rice had he turned sooner?
Did Rice bet on the Colts to cover the -3 points spread?
Who has the keys to the Mystery Machine?

Did Marty Schottenheimer spend his pension to pay off refs just to get sweet, sweet revenge?
I’ve always wondered why they still keep that ref in the middle of the field. In this era of technology, couldn’t we do something better? They could tie a ref to a bungie cord and let him hover above the field of play like a magestic zebra bird. Of course, they couldn’t use that method in Dallas…because it might block God’s view of the game.
But I’ll feel sorry for the Chargers later. They are in one of the weakest divisions in the league, and every time Phillip “Cry Me A” Rivers tosses the ball into double or triple coverage, his receiver comes down with it. Not to mention, when he’s scrambling…he takes care of the ball about as well as Britney Spears takes care of an infant.

If he did it was money well spent.
Nice to see Norv is back to having his usual affect on a team.

In our hearts, I don’t think the real Norv Turner ever went away…
If only it wasn’t for the refs, league-wide conspiracies, and those damn meddling kids driving the Mystery Machine…San Diego would be undefeated.
Are you sure that “blurry thing” running into Jammer isn’t the demon spirit of Al Davis? I realize Al still appears at games and press conferences, but I think that’s just a hologram created with old horror movie software. The real Al Davis died 20 years ago, but he just never got the memo.

I guess that “blurry thing” could be a lot of things.
Upon closer examination it could be Rosie O’Donnell eating a Zebra.
Or it might be Ed Hochuli beaming back to the Enterprise after he’s sabotaged yet another Chargers game.
Is there a ghost of referees past? You know like the ghost of Christmas past.
It could be that some alien race had astro bucks on the game, and when they saw that Jammer was about(aboot) to run into Rice they temporarily teleported him to their mother ship (Goodrich Blimp, what, it does exist) where they probed his colon for lodged whistles before sending him back. Unfortunately they were to fast with the trip up Anal Avenue, and sent him back a split second to soon.

I did not see the game. In fact, I haven’t seen the highlights. I’ve been producing a morning show and when I wake up before 3am EST every weekday I tend to put sports on the backburner.
I know, no excuse. But this is not why I am writing. I am pissed off. Granted, I should not be pissed off because I got a gift team in basketball, but I am so pissed about football. I seem to face the best scores every week and my point total reflects that I get the large shaft in the asshole. It’s bigger than that black porn star that has a hose for a cock and busts the biggest money shot known to mankind. I am not sure who he is.
Therefore, I am in favor of an expansion of the playoff system because of my extreme bitterniss. I realize this has nothing to do with your post so I’ll end it with this:

Dan I feel your pain in fantasy football, hell I’m getting the high hard one in every league.
And you have the highest point total so far, and only 4 wins how the hell does that happen?
I really thought Gaither was going to hit 100.
And I will forever refer to Michael Turner as Bundy. In tribute for his 4 touchdown game.
And all of that scoring last night and the three I had left only garnered 7 fucking points.
That’s all good Dan, because in a league with this few teams even if you have a shitty record you can win the playoffs to be the undisputed champ.
