The
Chiclayo Peru chapter of the Green Bay Packers fan club was ready last night.
We had plenty of beer, pizza and snacks and were geared up to celebrate the
Pack’s victory over the Seahawks. And the Packers did
win, but unfortunately the replacement referees, continuing their
ongoing on-field imitation of a Three Stooges comedy skit as they have done
throughout this young football season, gave the game to the Seahawks. To my
knowledge the Seahawk quarterback is the first quarterback in NFL history to
throw a game-winning interception.
The
furor being expressed
today by players, coaches, television commentators, sports writers and
everyone else knowledgeable about football (with the exception of Seahawk
players and fans of course) will probably have no effect. The proper thing to
do would be to declare the game a Packer win, or at least proclaim the game null
and void and reschedule it. Neither will
happen. Instead a statement will be issued by the league office couched in
hollow sounding weasel words about the “replay being unclear”…”possible dual possession”…”replacement
referees are trying hard”…etc. Yeah.
To
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and the referees union, we football fans in
Chiclayo have a message for you……..
GET
YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!
