Maybe if you post more about it on 2p2 the refs will see your posts and change their ways next year.

The problem is refs are just really bad in every sport. Baseball umpires - horrible. Hockey refs - horrible. Football refs - less horrible. Basketball refs - how am i supposed to know

lol what, every professional referee is the in the top .0001% of his field...they're making calls in real time from 1 angle

almost every time (there are exception of course) someone around me makes fun a ref I call them out
01-04-2012 , 01:50 AM
ok blame the leagues then should just replay almost everything instead of baseball like "no we want the human element" why would i want the human element i just want the right call. and you don't even need to review the really tough calls cause their gonna be really close and hard to tell anyway and its just going to be a waste of time just fix the blatantly obvious wrong calls that everyone knows when they see it in real time or on the first replay (see armando gallaraga or the call at 1st in the world series game this year etc..)

seems like games would take super long if that were the case
01-04-2012 , 02:02 AM
but if i can see it within one replay or live then it is obviously a blatantly wrong call and everyone knows it. you can tell the call is wrong, in baseball say, before the next pitch even occurs so it should take about 2 seconds for someone to alert the umps (give them mics or something) to change the call. obviously you can't go to the extreme of changing balls and strikes because theres just way too many of them in a game and that would obviously extend the game time like ridiculous.

the other thing i dont understand is why you cant review penalties. like why not. you call roughing the passer or pass interference or something on one team and its clearly the wrong call (or maybe a better example is van riemsdyk push of mcdonagh into the net = delay of game on mcdonagh) can they just change it and not call it. doesn't make any sense why once a ref makes the decision thats how its gonna be and theres no changing it
01-04-2012 , 02:04 AM
agree with SA, keeping the integrity of the game is important

also, i was referring to the refs being bias when its country vs country hockey games, and the refs knowingly don't call the penalties or award the penalties. hey they had an excuse back then because it was a cold war, so hey lets cheat the commies which was laughable. well its not anymore and so why do you continue doing it?
01-04-2012 , 02:28 AM
You couldnt limit reviews to "only the obvious ones" and ignore the close calls. FFS a baseball game is already almost 4 hours, last thing they need to do is make it longer.

I know it would never happen, but I would love an NFL model that was completely pay to watch and commercial-less. On an every game every week basis. Commercials kill sports and TV in general, but at least with TV you can DVR it. Watching a sporting event after it happens is worthless.
01-04-2012 , 02:30 AM
well you worded your statement very poorly, the refs aren't terrible or they wouldn't be professional refs
01-04-2012 , 02:30 AM
bout 2 hours 50 minutes

ok then i will amend my statement: For the most part the refs are not terrible however there are often blatantly horrible calls and there is no reason to let them stand when everyone knows the call is wrong and they should just be able to quickly change it regardless of whether the call was messing up whether a guy was safe or out or making a bad penalty call or anything
01-04-2012 , 02:35 AM
yea, it's a policy issue

put on 100 on merge as to not risk alot of money in the event they go under. upto a decent amount now, just rebulding. Don't want to take 2-3k and put it on and feel like a schmuck if something bad happened.

also, I have railed some of the 100nl games, and besides when BBJ is bloated, games seem dead somewhat. 50nl and 25nl tables are hoppin' all day everyday, very easy to get on 18 tables, etc.

at any rate, I won't be there long but it is easy and stress free for the time being of rebuilding.

edit: also hilarious that glissXXdaddyXX is on Merge now. his 17/12 game hasn't changed much from his time on Stars or FTP Rush, and he is still easy as hell to exploit.
01-04-2012 , 05:18 AM
50nl is never hoppin'

Also forgot to mention read he was the table fish and the reason I was playing 10/20. I probably wouldn't bluff ever against him but I was thinking against a reg or something who I expect to raise Tx like never and not even many Kx whether a bluff shove would be profitable given it's such a sick price on the bluff. Probably would never have the balls to do it at 10/20 but you all better watch out if this spot comes up at 100 or 200nl
Yea, I actually typed a long, well explained reply when I first noticed the hand which ended with me asking why you didn't post reads/stats and why you included results, but when I actually thought about it I realized you know all that so you must have posted for another reason, so I canceled my reply and waited to see what you were up to(I thought you had maybe changed the results and he actually called). But it looked like you needed some motivation to splain yourself so I figured I needed to post some kinda reply.
