What's the Single Worst Call You've Ever Seen?

.....and you can shut your dirty whorish mouth any ole time you want.

 

That was within the rules at the time, no?

 

The blown int call/touchdown call may not have been the worst call in the 4th quarter.

The blown OPI call that should have went against Rice that got called against Shields was as bad as it gets.

 

The "motherfucker" ordered 3 seconds to be put on the clock because the clock erroneously read "00:50", and the the horn blew the moment the Soviets inbounded (horns are supposed to blow only at 0:00, aren't they?) on their alleged "second try".

It would be like the horn blowing the second Duke tried to inbound the ball to Laettner, and UK players dancing wildly in belief that they had won. Would that have been right? Of course not. If the ref put everyone back on the court and ordered the correct time put back on the clock, would you accuse him of giving the Blue Devils an "extra chance"? I hope not. But knowing this place . . .

I repeat, the only bad CALL was a timeout awarded to the USSR that shouldn't have been. Everything else (horns blowing, malfunctioning clocks) was technical and unfortunate mismanagement. But it is just stupid to believe they were going to keep playing until the Soviets won. If the USA intercepts or slaps away the inbounds pass to Belov, game over. But you just can't accept that . . . because it (horrors!) means that maybe our guys didn't do their jobs correctly, either, and EASILY could have won the game by making a defensive play that 99 percent of basketball teams can make.

 

St. Louis at least had plenty of time to overcome it. The Packers? USA basketball in 1972? Armando Galarraga? Never had the chance.

 

That FIBA bastard had absolutely no jurisdiction over that game. He has even admitted as such. Can you imagine the shit storm if Gerry Austin or Roger Goodell walked onto the field during the review of Monday's clusterfuck play and simply signaled "touchback" like that FIBA fuck held three fingers out to the clock operator?

 

Jesus. Why don't you just fucking invent a time machine and move there? Your repeated defenses of the USSR are disgusting.

 

I miss the Cold War. It always made Olympic watching more fun.

Soviet figure skater stumbles . . . "Oh, her family's dead."

Romanian weightlifter falters . . . "He's spending the summer in a KGB holding cell."

It's all just so boring now.

 

It was all a ruse. Nothing like that ever happened in glorious Mother Russia. It was all sunshine and blowjobs under Uncle Joe Stalin.

 

I don't see a problem with any of the calls mentioned on this thread. Just someone doing the best they can. Fans and sports writers need to get over it. Don't like refs deciding the outcome? Don't put yourself in a position where one call decides the game.

 

Actually, it's because the people survived history's two greatest monsters --- simultaneously --- and endured things we frankly cannot comprehend that I have so much admiration for them.

The government and the people are different. Didn't teach that at McCarthy U., I know. But trust me on this one.
