The Kentucky Derby got it right in their decision to DQ Maximum Security. A classic bad beat but it was a righteous decision not like so many recent bad and missed calls that turned entire seasons around. Talk about bad beats how about the ignored pass interference in the NFC Championship game that cost the NO Saints their rightful Super Bowl appearance. A blatant no call that will haunt the franchise forever. Then there's the incorrect call that eliminated the LV Golden Knights from the Stanly Cup playoffs. Both the NFL and NHL admitted they were wrong but the calls should have been corrected immediately no matter what the absurd replay rules say. It was that crucial. Then we witness a missed double dribble and resultant three foul shots with .06 on the clock that cost Auburn a place in the Final Four. How can we handicap this crap? We can't.

The most egregious, slap in your face, example of NFL shenanigans was the blatant no call that cost the NO Saints what would have been an almost certain Super Bowl slot opposite the Patriots. No need to rehash the event because it's been exposed non stop all week. What was behind this robbery? A conspiracy, incompetent official/s,TV network wishes or anything sinister we blame it on........ sometimes you handicap a game correctly but it's all meaningless with crap like this shoved down our throats.

Steelers & Chargers tied 30-30 with time running out. Chargers line up for the game winning FG but miss it. No problem with the refs running interference for the Chargers the entire game. They throw a flag on the Steelers, move the ball closer but the Steelers block the second attempt and recover the ball. Again the refs have the Chargers backs and throw another flag and move the ball closer for a third attempt to win. Third times a charm and the FG is good. This blatant display of NFL corruption gets worse. There's yet another flag on the ground just in case the Bolts miss the their third try. The Chargers decline the penalty of course, the "refs" pick up the flag and get the hell outa there.
BUT.....It should have never gotten to the point where the referees had to resort to such obvious bias. Earlier in the game the ref in charge of offsides & false starts ignored an obvious false start on the Chargers, some Steelers eased up expecting the call but none came and the Chargers scored on the play. Everyone in the stadium and on TV saw the infraction but this one referee. The Chargers were the beneficiaries of the exact same no call vs the Browns resulting in the firing of the sight challenged referee.
BUT.....The Steelers monumental collapse can't be blamed entirely on the officiating. The Steelers have become known for blowing leads. A better coached and prepared team could have overcome.

His name is ironic..... Jesse James in this robbery wasn't the robber he was the robee along with the Steelers. The NY review officials took care of the networks and the NFL front office's favorite team the Teflon Patriots. This Steelers/Patriots "what's a catch" game was followed by an equally infamous "under review" phony decision in a Buffalo Bills game in keeping with the NY replay officials deciding NFL games. Why bother to handicap the phony boloney good time rock and roll NFL when crap like we all saw in Pittsburgh makes it all meaningless

The NFL claims to be worried about the phony integrity of their games with the passage of sports betting legislation.That's laughable when obvious, less than righteous decisions, are routine in NFL games. We've all seen them.

NFL ‘Applauds’ Trump’s Prison Reform Bill: NFL "We Offer Our Full Support"
The National Football League released a statement Wednesday morning endorsing President Donald Trump’s First Step Act, a bill aimed at decreasing the size of America’s prison populations.
“The National Football League applauds the leadership of the President and bipartisan Members of Congress on criminal justice reform,” NFL VP of Communications Jocelyn Moore wrote in the statement. “We offer our full support for the revised First Step Act and urge passage this year.”
We're still #1
# UPDATE: The Minnesota Nice Vikings are now in the lead for most arrests with two more. There have been 855 NFL knuckleheads arrested since 2000. The Minnesota Nice Vikings and the Bengals were tied for the lead with 40 each till the recent arrests of a couple more Vikings.
Handicap This 2017 college baskets
A visitor to wiseguys.com relayed this brutal money line loss to me. UCSB scores to go up by two with one second on the clock. Cal Poly heaves an inbound pass to half court. The clock doesn’t start till another half court heave at the basket fails. Whistle, foul with .3 of a second on the homecourt clock. The Cal Poly heaver gets three foul shots and drains all three. Cal Poly wins 80-79. I have no answer how we handicap and overcome bad calls and no calls in baskets and football. That's both pros and colleges. Take a look:
