Also, I probably won't moderate this thread. I don't care about soccer.

I hope you understand how provocative and irritating a statement such as "baseball is played on the field not on paper" is. It is the kind of moronic critique that anti-sabermetric neanderthals use (along with the unfunny "mother’s basement" canard) to debunk what they do not understand.

You seem to hate penis pics, however

The great thing about baseball is that it requires careful observation not simply attendance and it rewards the analytical person while consistently befuddling the superficial.

And how ‘bout that Klose? What a dirty asshole of a player. I’m glad the refs caught on to his undisciplined game.

ok

this is an idea i’ve had for a while, and i’m not sure why it isn’t used in every sport. have the main ref wear an earpiece… link him to a judge who sits in the dark with endless replay cameras available to him. on any big play or any questionable play he simply tells the ref in play that the call was wrong. he doesn’t even have to speak if a correct call was made. actually he doesn’t even need an earpiece… just a signal. hell, red light / green light can tell the ref if he made the right call. it is absolutely stupid that everybody at home and the announcers and the fans can see an instant replay and the one person making the call, cannot. sorry but this has been brought up so many times in every sport and there is no logical answer for it.

how wouldn’t this work? there is seemingly no downside to me. you even call the guy the “judge” and he can sit in heavily tinted windows so nobody can distract/disturb/affect him. we have raplays available within seconds… much less time than it takes for a player to celebrate a score. and if i’m not mistaken, an earpiece wouldn’t slow down or hinder a ref at all.

by daveh33 on Jun 18, 2010 2:33 PM EDT reply actions  

Will he call down every six plays and offer increasingly large sums of money as long as a team is willing to forefit?

I hope you understand how provocative and irritating a statement such as "baseball is played on the field not on paper" is. It is the kind of moronic critique that anti-sabermetric neanderthals use (along with the unfunny "mother’s basement" canard) to debunk what they do not understand.

by kericr on Jun 18, 2010 2:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

huh?

every ref is susceptible to bribery….

it doesn’t have to be every 6 plays… how about on scoring plays? or plays that lead to any very close free-kicks or penalties?

by daveh33 on Jun 18, 2010 2:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well I figure if you're going to have a shady, misterious character called 'The Judge' flashing blinking lights and sirens to indicate play calls, you might as well throw in a bunch of suitcases filled with money and go full-blown gameshow on it.

ok, we can call him "Sherman" instead of judge

and he can release a dove if the call was correct, if the call was incorrect, he zaps the ref’s electric collar.
