how many years in a row has it been?
every sport has horrible weaknesses. baseball games take too long, football too violent, hockey too violent and too random, soccer, too hard to score... in basketball the refs matter too much.
i know the meathead thing to do is pretend like refs either don't make mistakes or that it all evens out but there's going to be some randomness even if you're totally charitable... we've called heads and gotten tails 4 or 5 years in a row now to end the season.
on triche's last drive, it seemed to me like his intent and the defenders intent was to get a whistle, both guys thought the call was going to go their way. the defender wasn't really trying to defend the ball and triche wasn't really trying to score there. (i'm doing moqui-esque mind reading here, i know).
the last game ended the way I kinda generally expected their last game to end all along but the bright side is that they got so many more games in than I expected. i would've thought they'd lose a game like that the first weekend.
i do wish they had let fair win or lose it for them at the end
