I was sitting in the booth behind you at the restaurant thinking "if half the folks here have lobes like that it should be an interesting conference." Didn't quite turn out that way though. Strange that I should stumble on this entry while blog trawling... Creepy.

No more instant replays for out-of-bounds calls and the ball would absolutely have to cross the end-zone line to be counted as a TD. Who needs umpires when we can put GPS sensors inside everything and have a rack of Dells manage every sport. Think of how a player will whine to a ref or ump on a tough call and put it in this scenario. I can almost see Terrell Owens typing "rm -rf, bitch" into a terminal while in a huff on the sideline when he is pissed about a call. Purists might say that this would pervert the historical value of the game. Purists should then turn off their televisions and listen to games on the radio, or read about them in the newspaper instead. Imagine a GPS of every player’s shoe and the football in an NFL game.
