That was from a ref on roids which the NFL and its fans support for the most part
I can foresee a new level of vitriol for whomever these replacement refs fuck over.

I like Ed.
If the woman ref fucks up, I can't imagine the amount of people banned in the thread for gender based insults.
There is nothing she could really fuck up except a holding call, and everyone fucks up holding calls.
Unless it's the Patriots fans I doubt it. Steelers and Packers fans never have huge meltdowns and no one else posts enough. Big-E bitched a fuckton in the Olympics thread though, so I could see him doing it!

I don't recall any meltdowns on our end, but I could be wrong.
You would think it would have happened in last year's SB thread if it was ever going to happen anyway.
Yeah. I know some of the Patriots fans on here are a bit loopy, but that's about it.
I don't either, but there are a couple Patriots fans who get worked up. The dude with the Nathan Drake avatar comes to mind. Plus, you guys have the most bandwagon and drive-by fans (along with the Packers) and those folks seem to get more heated about officials.
It's still weird. Few years ago it was just me for the most part.
Lunchbox will jump in and Astrolad someone I'm sure.

The only call that really pissed me off was the phantom face mask call that was called against us in the Bengals game. That's not even a judgement call nor were the guys hands anywhere near the facemask. :jnc
How many years are we going back?
I own one for 4th and 2, I think I saw some in the 08 Superbowl loss too
I know I came close to meltdowns a couple of times last year. The Detroit game was one, and the Pats game was another. The Detroit one was the result of a drive by pissing me off, and the Pats one was Sanjuro (I guess I didn't understand his humor at the time) and another drive by. It was tough bearing the burden of Tebow.
Brady's punt is one of my favorite memories of last season.
The whole game was great overall for me because it was one of very few where I wasn't fucking scared of our secondary choking a small lead away..
Why would you even compare the two?
Yeah, I'm not a fan of these replacement refs, but it's not like the originals were perfect by any means.
The current ones just seem to make bonehead mistakes on what should be easy calls. Just doesn't seem like they're even college level officials at times. That doesn't mean that 80% of the game doesn't go off without a hitch, but at times you wonder if they're even watching or understand some fairly clear cut rules.

Sure it was fun, but the amount of people dropping in and bagging on Tebow was absurd. Then he would turn it around every week. Some weeks I could ignore it, others I had to say something.
With that punt the Tebow era in Denver ended. I figured that Denver would get beat, but I didn't think it would be that bad. That was embarrassing, but then again it would have been worse if we lost to Sanchez in the playoffs

He got beat on a back-shoulder throw for a TD but besides that he didn't really stand out.
Walden and Moses were the only two guys who made an impression.
I'm 100% ok with that. When a CB stands out, that's usually a bad thing.

I dont think he was in the first quarter since Bush started. I saw him get beat on one play in particular but he wasn't a liability from what I saw.
I was watching on like a 640 x 480 screen though so those numbers were hard to pick out. I'll have to rewatch.

I still gotta watch it, was stuck with Arizona game. Only thing available to me last night. Must record and watch Packers when it replays.
Thankfully my cable provider just started offering 'Remote Record' so I can set up DVR from my phone or computer. Just found the game replaying at 4pm and locked it in. Badass.

Oh wow, didn't know that. That's some real shit

Von Miller losing his cool and then winding up under a pile of 8 Patriots was hilarious.

It is indeed badass. Been doing it for years on DirecTV.
They just added DirecTV Everywhere so I can actually watch NFL N and some other channels on my phone when Im away.
Yeah, I'm not willing to go with DTV.
The most amazing part of the whole thing is that my cable provider is the only non satellite provider available in my area......so the fact that they added the service with no competition is great. Problem is, last year they removed Redzone during week 15 out of no where and pissed me the hell off (have had it since I moved here at the end of 2009).
I'll probably have a phone argument coming during week 1 unless they put it back on. Right now instead of getting the 'off air' statement like it should, it says I don't have access.

Nope but I've used enough cameras to know that Sony's are garbage.
I use Canons regularly and they haven't done me wrong.
The RX100 is supposed to be the best point and shoot ever made. It's getting nothing but rave reviews. I don't know if I want to spend $650 on a point and shoot though.
What's the DSLR, because 35mm lens might not be right for you unless you got a small sensor camera. Full sensor DSLRs go with 50mm to have a natural eye view.....35mm lens if you have a small sensor on Canon's since they multiply by 1.6
She has a nice Canon DSLR we got a few years ago. Not sure what the model is.
sigma 30 1.4
That's what a friends wife used and liked. I don't know what that group of alpha-numeric digits mean.
Get an S100. If you're going to spend $600+ on a camera, you should buy a mirrorless 4/3 camera instead like a Sony NEX-5 or a real DSLR like the Canon T3i.
1. I'm not really worried about the cost, it's a gift.
2. I tried to sell her on the mirrorless but she doesn't want the bulk of lenses. Just wants something between her DSLR and her phone. I think she has a T3 now.
Oh, get a S100 then (or even a S90) - those two are the point and shoot cameras that everyone raves about.
Would it be racist if I said I trust your opinion on cameras inherently?
I was just speaking the truth, mang. Now you have a legitimate quarterback to avoid that argument (He might be toast though).
Watching the Cardinals game...can you imagine if Manning had gone there? Jesus Christ.
The NFL is like that in general outside of here as well. The casual user base from both general spectators and fantasy is absurd.
Do you know the general price of the camera. Like over $1500?
I have a Canon 50D, it's a small sensor DSLR which is cheaper than full frame cameras. My type usually runs around $1000 give or take a few hundred bucks depending on the kit.
I have a 50mm 1.8f lens which is actually the human perspective on a full frame lens, but it takes amazing pictures regardless.
Sigma is just some sort of offbrand lens that makes lenses for almost all major camera manufacturers. They are usually good quality, just check the reviews for particular lenses before buying, obviously. The 1.4 is the maximum aperture, the lower that number, the better the lens (usually).
So she told me to buy my wife something shitty? What a shithead.
Glad I avoided that trap then.
We're going to look at them now. Thanks for the input kids.
