ARRGH I hate it when the referrees decide who wins and loses!
I did not watch very much of the Skins game. I had to go take a shower and wash off the stench of HUMILIATING DEFEAT after the Ravens game ended.
I only watched a little of the beginning and had to quickly turn it off after that BULLSHIT call about whosamabob from Tampa Bay being "forced out of bounds". He was not forced out of bounds you blind striped sack of crap!!
The thing is after that gimme TD for the Bucs (which was set up an intecception which should have been pass interference) the Burgundy & Gold played tough and overcame the zebras.
It was the Alstott two-point conversion at the end of the game that still has my cheeks literally flushed two hours later. His elbow was clearly down outside the goalline...HOW COULD THE BALL HAVE POSSIBLY CROSSED THE PLANE!?!
(I had the Ravens defense in a fantasy league...they got -3 points.)
By the way, I'm playing rainbaby this week in a different fantasy league...we both put up sucky scores and now it's down to Pittsburgh defense versus Terry Glenn. I need to MeCha fellas vibes to score in this battle of the sexes.

I am glad I did not see that. My blood pressure couldn't take it.

I didn't know that was you Dano! It is sticky in the suck-bowl for sure. If I loose, I'm going to drop a fair number of pegs. That's ok - I shouldn't have won last week, either (bye-weeks). I'm just trying to position myself for the playoffs to avoid seeing the Irish for as long as I can. And as far as the Skins game goes - at least you got to watch the end of it - I had to be somewhere. I'll be watching from the stands next week, though. And for the meta-chat record, yes we are both sucking this week, but we came into the game I think #2 (Danostuporstar) and #4 (me) in an 18 team league, so that's purty good.
Come'on dano. Part of the reason I left DC was so I wouldn't have to hear skins' fans complaining all the damn time ;) Just fire the coach like they always do, and all will be well.
