Re: How about that Super Bowl???

Echoed forth from the dank caverns of microsoft.public.cert.exam.mcse,
the plaintive wail of Robert Williams:

Yes, it may have been questionable, but I don't think any one of us
here could have done a better job than any one of those professional
refs or umps.

That's not the issue. I hire a mechanic to work on my car, too.

I too doubt they were biased, they are professionals
and they are highly paid. If any one of them were to be caught
intentionally making a bad call for the sole purpose of throwing the
game into the direction of one particular team, that ref would be
barred from sports. I highly doubt any one of them would risk that
for any team.

I'd like to know how you can categorically make such a statement. Anyone
can be bought, tricked or threatened to do anything. For the kind of
bucks that are being tossed around over a Super Bowl, it's not beyond
imagining that someone could misplace his professional ethics for while.
I'm not saying that this was the case yesterday,* but anytime we are
talking about the ridiculous sums of money that are at stake, anything is
possible.

*Note to the Referee's Union and any passing landsharks: Please note
disclaimer in previous paragraph. We are not now, nor have we ever,
inferred, proclaimed, accused, or implied, that any cheating of any kind
has ever occurred in proffessional football, or any other sporting event,
in the history of the world as we know it. We are discussing the matter
in a purely hypothetical manner, in the secure knowledge that the
situation being discussed is actually impossible.
