Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

An Interesting New Concept In Rule-Making


NFL officiating expert Mike Pereira said the refs were correct in ruling that Dez Bryant's great catch in the Packers-Cowboys game was actually an incomplete pass, but also said the rule should be changed:

"If 50 drunk guys in a bar think it's a catch, the rules should be aligned to that."


So, what should we do about [any number of thorny issues]?

I know!  Let's ask 50 drunk guys in a bar and just go with it!

For football, OK, maybe.  For everything else . . . nah.

(I happen to agree with Pereira this particular rule must go.  At the moment, I am relatively sober.)
