Video review. I hate it. Refs make mistakes and that's going to happen regardless of video evidence. What happens now is we analyze all the tiniest details and the NFL is forced to come up assinine rules for every extreme situation. Sports are always better when referees are rarely involved. Anytime anything goes to review I just shudder

Let's stick with the bad driving theme. On the highway:
The Left Lane is for Passing only !!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

But when one is in the left lane passing a long line of vehicles going under the speed limit, but you are going 10 MPH over the speed limit to pass them. But someone behind you is riding your arse to go even faster is ridiculous even more. And I for one won't pull into the right lane only to be stuck not to pass anyone because the idiot wanting to pass me while 10 MPH over the speed limit decides to not pass at all. :D

It takes almost no effort to click your turn signal on...come on people!!

If someone is changing lanes in light traffic or something like that I don't mind but when you come to a 4 way stop and someone turns without a signal, that's moronic. When a car is turning left at a light but yielding (no arrow) and doesn't have the sense to use a signal that's idiotic, I really can't stand when on a one lane road a car will just be stopped (waiting to turn left) but they don't have a signal on.....

Seeing our WR's burn the CB's deep and then the ball is under thrown and missing out on an extra 14 pts every game, and people who drive slow in the left lane...

Missed sacks, like Selvie's missed sack of Sanchez.

Giants WRs getting wide, wide open in the Dallas secondary.

Ignorant fans who think Romo is the main problem.

I slow down to the speed of the slow driver and ride right next to them so the speed racer can't pass just to piss those people off

The fans.

Generally they're the root of the majority of anything that is really negative with the game.

When you are in the bathroom getting away from the kids and wife for a while...(hoping against hope that no one bothers you to use the facilities) and you look down and there is one sheet of paper left in the roll..!!!!

They can still do that. What they can't do is what Barber was doing which was punching folks in the face on the pre-text he was stiff-arming them.

Sigh. I miss Marion..............

going through the motions of the Spar-Spangled Banner when nobody cares and we just want the darn game to begin. And then some singer who think she half to add a new dimentia to the song and make it very dramatic.

Most of us have followed professional football for while now. So, there is a large body of work to pick from.

What's the one thing that sets you off?.

Example; Lets take driving for example. I'm not perfect and neither is anyone else. We are human and make mistakes. I'm older so, i forgive for the most part...except for one.

You just can't pass me and then make me slow down suddenly so you can turn off...(that's the worst for me)

So, in our sport...if you cover it all from start to finish....what is your..."you just can't?"

1. You just can't.....call PI a spot foul any longer. it gives teams new life. that's mine.

HALFING A BIG RANT THREAD AND NOT MOVING IT TO THE RANT ZONE!!!

Yeah, PI in the endzone is basically a TD. I think they should bring back un-catchable balls. Not sure how to alter the PI rule without even more interpretation. Wish there was a way to make it a 10 yard penalty unless the defender knows he is beat and basically tackles the WR or something else completely blatent.
Its just such a game changing penalty in too many cases.
