  Baseball Reflections — Authority: 496

• NHL Officiating Concerns

  
  Booktoots's Weblog — Authority: 121
  First of all, let me say that prior to this season I have been on the side of the NHL officiating and referees. That is a tough job and I sure would not want it. It has to be difficult to be skating while keeping your eye on such a fast-paced sport. Plus, you’re in harms way. Kudos to the refs, was my previous ...

• It’s Time To Embrace the Technology

  
  The Business of Sports — Authority: 117
  Normally, I don’t like talking about events that take place on the field, but today I’m going to make an exception. On Wednesday night, a World Cup qualifying soccer match was decided by one person who made a mistake that was easily identifiable by a simple video replay. However, because the sport was dependent on ...

• Ref Blows Missed Goal in Red Wings Game (Video)

  
  Total Pro Sports — Authority: 640
  It is definitely not professional sports refs year.  Tim Donaghys gambling on games was the beginning (and by far the worst) case of things going wrong for referees, but his incident was definitely not the only one.  Just today an uproar over the no-call on Henrys shady handball spread through the sports ...

• Follow The Rule Book

  
  KK Hockey — Authority: 631
  from William Houston of Truth & Rumours, Very little of what Mike Milbury says makes sense to me, but he was right about one thing on Saturday night. The NHL does not need new rules to address the worst of the head shots – the predatory, blindside attacks. “The rules are already in place,” he said ...

• And Then There Is This: More Fear And Loathing Over Bears-Niners

  
  Blog Down, Chicago Bears — Authority: 472
  The last post of the week: something to ponder as you await the certain couch slouch and booze binge of this weekend. So…that was awful. Yes, awful in the sense that the Bears lost, but taking out my rooting interests for a second: That game was straight-up terrible. I was watching it with my roommate and we ...

• Carded

  
  A Sports Scribe — Authority: 120
  In recent seasons of college football, officials have been suspended for major screw-ups that apparently impacted the fortunes of teams going into both conference championships and bowl season.

• Brad Miller Sinks Game-Winner But Bulls Lose on Questionable Officiating

  
  Not Qualified To Comment — Authority: 621
  Are you kidding me right now? The Bulls are down 1 with just 0.3 seconds left and Miller catches the inbounds pass and sinks a quick off-balance 20 footer just as the buzzer goes off.  The refs call it good and the Bulls go crazy.  Then the refs go back to review the tape, and all of a sudden (well it took like 10 ...

  The Scores Report - The National Sports Blog — Authority: 578
  My esteemed colleague Anthony Stalter did a nice job of covering the immediate aftermath of the Alabama/LSU game, but I wanted to provide a few screenshots of Patrick Peterson’s interception that was ruled incomplete, even after replay.

• Refs, Les Miles help Alabama beat LSU

  
  The Scores Report - The National Sports Blog — Authority: 578
  Let’s get this out of the way first: Alabama is better than LSU. They play better defense, have more big-time playmakers like Julio Jones and Mark Ingram, and they’re a more complete team overall. That said, the officiating in Alabama’s 24-15 win on Saturday was some of the worst in college football this ...

• SEC football officials are either on the take …

  
  David Kirkpatrick — Authority: 143
  … very high or just incompetent. The new conference rule fining coaches who complain about the officiating is crazy. The zebras make NBA officials look good and that’s saying something. And this post is coming from someone who thinks college football is an almost impossible-to-watch game played by kids who’ll ...

  The Junkyard Blawg — Authority: 549
  Should Urban Meyer be suspended? (Associated Press) Criticism can be unfair, as Mark Richt and Joe Cox are wont to remind us.
