The national association for the deaf is suing the Washington Redskins so they can have closed-captioning at FedEx Field. It's amazing that a law suit would have to be filed and that the Redskins organization is going to fight it. But the Redskins are considering given those hearing impaired individuals a 7 inch monitor so they can read what the penalty or special announcement , etc. Have they considered what if those individuals have vision problems a tiny, fuzzy 7 inch monitor could severely cause damage to an all ready poor eye sight. How about hiring Garrett Morris and he will handle all hearing impaired announcements. Or here is a better idea, you know that big scrolling screen that most stadiums have or the huge jumbo trons, well here is a novel idea put closed captioning on those... who wudda thunk it.

The big controversy with USC is that Brent Musberger revealed privileged information which could cost USC wins. Well first of all get over yourself USC and other team that believes that the "special" signals are a big secret to other teams. It's not like the defense is going "hey he patted himself on the head what on earth could he being doing?" is he signaling a space ship so he can be called to his home planet. It's not like other teams have code breakers working for them inputting data into the FBI or CIA's super computer trying to reveal what a pat on the helmet means. USC or any other school that has this complaint is just full of themselves, as we all know USC is anyway, and if Pete Carol speaks the media runs like panting dogs to record every syllable as they wait to be "peted" on the head and told to run along now and print my every word and praise the ol' mighty Pete and USC...HOO RHA...

What amazes me most is that somebody wrote an article about this just as they continue to write about Maurice "convict" Clarett and at this point I could care less if I spell his name correctly. Let him rot but I am sure the day he gets out some sport writer will have his lead story being "dipstick released from prison" and what a model prisoner he was and how he has changed and he regrets what he did and he found GOD and how he was not able to see his baby grow up...just a minute I have to vomit.

So please lets say something about how these teams in college and the pros are doing and not what some slug thinks (I mean sports writer) about the USC' s feelings. No one cares. Lets talk about the San Diego Chargers and why they drafted Ryan Leaf back in the day. That is always funny...

I am just finishing reviewing the questionable play calling during the LSU Auburn game and let me tell you something Mr. and Mrs. sports fan. LSU got screwed, not once, not twice, not three times, but five times. Lets break them down.

First questionable call made when Hestor made a catch for the first down. He took two steps, which is considered a "football move" the defender swatted at the ball in which it was knocked loose between the second and third step. The ball hit the ground between the third and fourth step then bounced out of bounds. This by all technical purposes and the rules is a complete pass with a fumble, ball rolls out of bounds. Possession LSU and a first down. Instead ruled incomplete and ball goes over to Auburn.

Second questionable call. Fumble recovery. Auburn receiver catches the pass and is being tackled. Jessie Daniels comes in and knocks the ball out of the receivers grasp before his knees, legs; butt on any part of his body is down on the field. The ball clearly is out. Receiver is called down by contact. No fumble.

Third questionable call. The pass interference in the end zone David Irons commit against the LSU freshman receiver. Irons is beat on the play. While the ball is in the air and the LSU receiver is turning to catch the ball, Irons with his back to the ball runs into the receiver grabbing his right arm with his left and reaches in with his right and grabs the waste of the receiver. Irons never turns to the ball. No call on this play. Incomplete pass.

Fourth questionable call. Holding on 77 LSU which negates a completed pass to the LSU tight end and a first down. Number 77 starts blocking one Auburn player and a second Auburn player moves to the outside pass rush lane. The LSU tackle picks up the rushing defender with his left arm on the outside of the defensive lineman's body, not touching or abating his progress and his right arm into the defenders chest. This was called holding. If he would have boxed or grabbed the DL with his left arm yes. He did not.

Fifth questionable call. The reverse on the pass interference against Early Doucet at the 3 yard line.  The pass interference begins at the nine yard line. The defender begins to hold the receivers arm at the nine pulling the arm. At the five yard line the defender begins to tackle the receiver as the receiver begins to try to jump to the ball. So according to the SEC officials if the ball is tipped then there is no foul unless the interference begins before the tip, in this case it does, and if it is determined by the official on the field that the ball uncatchable because of the tip then the interference does not matter either way. So if you are interfered with for 6 yards before the ball is tipped, tackled during the process of the tip which takes you out of any contention to make any recovery to try to make any play on the ball which the tape clearly shows its just too bad.

As the announcer said "I don't know how they can do that" referring to the overturned calls, non calls in the game. I said earlier that we should be taking about the players and the game and try to get past this but when I received the tape for review and did a frame by frame analysis it is obvious how bad the officiating was at this game. At least the PAC 10 had the courage to suspend the officiating crew for the Oregon and OU game and they are discussing the probability of deleting it from the records. Maybe the SEC can muster the same courage with at least suspending the officiating crew and unfortunately the game cannot be a do over for all involved. I feel sorry for any team that has to lose a game due to piss poor officiating. I also feel sorry for Auburn when they go to Death Valley next year.
