Gonna take your ball and go home<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Saints fans want the NFL Commissioner to invoke an obscure and never used rule to force the NFC Division game between the Saints and Rams to be played over.\u00a0 They have sued in court to try to get a judge to order Goddell to do just that.<\/span><\/p>\n

See, a referee in the game missed an obvious call of pass interference.\u00a0 The penalty would have kept the drive going for the Saints who would have either scored a touchdown putting the game out of reach for the Rams, or would have burned up the clock before the Saints kicked a field goal, preventing the Rams from tying the game before winning in overtime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because a human missed a call, as has happened since football games began, some fans want a do-over.<\/span><\/p>\n

If it is so ordered and the Saints win, do you really think the Ram fan will just roll over and accept the new outcome?\u00a0 Really?\u00a0 The Rams are in California\u2014the very heart of all of these social upheavals.\u00a0 No, the Rams will find a real or imagined blown call and demand the game be played a third time.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is classic current-day American culture now.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019ll accept no outcome until it is the one that I like.\u00a0 There are no winners unless it is me.\u00a0 There are no losers unless it is you.\u00a0 But then, in today\u2019s society, there are no losers; only participants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the only real solution.\u00a0 Make the Patriots play and beat both teams.\u00a0 Then scrutinize the film until you find a secret handshake, an obscured wink between officials and players, or find a ball slightly deflated well after the game.\u00a0 Then the Patriots can be stripped of the title.\u00a0 Of course, you\u2019ll have to award it to both the Saints and Rams.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re so screwed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
