And if he had missed, Harbaugh would have been killed for icing his own kicker. There's no right answer there. You just need an NFL kicker to make what should be an automatic kick.
Anyone else see the disturbing trend of NFL players taking dives at the least little shove in an attempt to draw a penalty? If such bitch-ass-ness becomes as accepted as it is in soccer, then the terrorists have truly won.
Right now I'm just wondering how they are going to rob Marquez. He's winning the fight clearly, but Manny losing fucks up a lot of plans and costs lots of people a shitload of money. I just don't see Marquez getting a decision.
He also was resentful to a country that completely swallowed Ali's line about him being the "White Man's Champion". Especially when it could argued that Joe Frazier knew far more about growing up poor and black in 20th century America than Ali ever would.
If that wasn't a red card, then nothing is. This is what kills me about international soccer, criminally incompetent officiating is just shrugged off as part of the game. Fuck that.
I was a JFK conspiracy theorist as well but have found myself starting to tilt towards the "lone nut" side as I have gotten older. JFK was a well made film but they pretty much amalgamated nearly every conspiracy theory into one giant cinematic gulash.
Then it makes you wonder what Floyd is waiting for. He can have the Pacquiao fight, which would be the biggest fight of this generation and make a shitload of money. Why take the chance of someone else getting lucky against Manny, or one of them getting injured?
Ortiz is a big puncher, but there is a reason why of all the fighters out there Mayweather is choosing Ortiz to fight after a 16 month layoff. That's because his defense is nearly non-existant and he's very easy to hit.
I know that HBO has a vested interest in pumping up Mayweather-Ortiz, but come on. They seem to totally neglect the fact that Ortiz is at best defensively challenged.
