    Eh, why would they?

    If you're throwing darts at a board, it's still a 50-50 chance that a bad call will help you instead of hurt you.

    If you want to complain about last night's game, don't go to Twitter. It's in complete meltdown mode. I can't even get to the fail whale.

    There's a better chance I'll be the next Pope than there is gamblers will stop betting on NFL games.

    It's the image of a whale, being lifted by many birds, that appears when Twitter is over capacity.

    Had that happened, those clowns posing as NFL officials probably would have awarded them two points, even though (unlike college) you cannot return a failed PAT or two-point conversion for two points in the NFL.

    The Packers on the field for the PAT should have turned their backs, locked arms and jumped up and down, or simply sat down on the field.

    It's still the best TV sport we have by a couple thousand miles...

    I've sort of noticed the opposite. The hardcore fans who take the NFL seriously are ones vowing to stop watching, and it's the casual viewers that are saying "this shit's hilarious, hell yeah, I'm watching."

    But, of course, the truth is the hardcore fans are bluffing, they'll keep watching too.
