Blackout in the Blackhole

Blackout in the Blackhole

'The raiders have had two games blacked out each season since taking over ticket sales from Alameda County before the 2006 season. This marks the first division game blacked out during that time.'

I almost feel rejected by this, as if the raider fans don't feel we are good enough to throw D batteries at.

Brandon, pay attention, Anquan is giving you the best advice I've heard around. Table the contract and play football.

ps there is no preview for posting a fanshot, so I just hope it works, if not goto:

I'm not sure how much more the other first rounders got, but Ayers' holdout got him a 16% bonus according to Klis.

Funny dukes reference

Is it bad etiquette to reference an MHR comment in an MHR fanshot? Oh well, this is pretty funny. Maybe we should make a point of telling any sports reporters that we hate dukes just to hear their opinion.

In case it doesn't link to the right comment, it is the one titled Bucky Brooks by JChase8410.

The Charger's were lucky they didn't lose a timeout, because they would have if the equipment had been working. The article also gives an explanation for the equipment failure, so sandy eggo fans can quit crying about Shannahanigans.

The call stank, but the League screwed the Chargers

Not just the refs.

Both 'controversial' calls, stuck to the play called on the field, so the Chargers can't complain that the replay should have caught it. All that they can complain about is the rule deferring to the call on the field.

In the case of the first call, I personally do not think there was incontrovertible evidence for an overturn of the call on the field of an interception (both players displayed control, but one came away with it, and that was the call), but that does not matter. Because the equipment failed, and the fact that the rule defers to the call on the field in that case.

As for the empty hand, the ref called the play dead so Broncos could have given up on the play (I don't think they had a chance at the ball, but they don't write the rules for one situation, they write them for all situations). So again the rules deferred to the play on the field. And again the Chargers were a victim of the rules of the game, imperfect as they may be.
