After Further Review (College): We haven't even started Saturday yet...

Friday night game between Pitt and Virginia Tech.

35-33 Pitt, three seconds left, ball in the air at the gun...

This kick was declared NO GOOD...

Another team but a different conference, having a game rigged against them. @HokiesFB get robbed by the refs. #Rigged Nothing to see here.

That's now two games this year in the Power 4 (Michigan) with irrefutable evidence that the result was fucked with at the end. There may be a lot more games I say are rigged and all, but they usually don't come with this clean of irrefutable evidence.

After Further Review: Watch This Video Closely, Or You Miss The Point...

Another angle of that Roughing the Passer call on Miami to benefit Mahomes and the Chiefs has been released, and someone dissected it.

Again, to be clear:  The call was correct -- but as this particular poster on X put it, that's not the point.

Watch the video closely for timing on the part of the official on the right side of the screen in the black hat...

This ain’t about the rule, it’s about being #RIGGED https://t.co/KLs3IC3oI5

After Further Review (WNBA): Did the league send MAGA a message last night?

The Las Vegas Aces eliminated the Indiana Fever last night in the WNBA playoffs.

And I don't like to give MAGA credit for a goddamn thing.

That, however, said, several highlights from the game make me wonder if the WNBA sent a message to an increasingly White Conservative at least fanbase (if not the team itself) with calls like these:

Bri Turner hooks Lexie Hull’s arm and took her to the ground…foul on Lexie Hull & they didn’t let the Fever challenge the call 😂 pic.twitter.com/qzRu1d7Cek

Various odds and sods, October 2...

May be added to throughout the day, please check back...

• Manchester City has officially appealed the findings, as fully expected.  The appeals have a 120-day window to occur, at which point the decision is due in another 30.  So, March appears to be the next bellweather.  Apparently, their first match back from the international break next week is at Arsenal -- which could have the potential of going VERY south.   
• And, on the pitch, Man City are the only unbeaten, undrawn team through five rounds, entering said break.  Scored 13 goals, gave up five.
• For his DUI over the summer, Tony Romo has now been officially fired from CBS Sports.
• The Portland Trail Blazers, yesterday, hired Braiden Bell as their new announcer.
• The Portland Trail Blazers, yesterday, FIRED Braiden Bell as their new announcer.
• For 2012-2013 racist social media posts.  Well, for various topics, that renders me COMPLETELY unemployable...  In ANY field...   
• The ABS challenge system resulted in the reversal of about 54% of ball-strike calls challenged under the system this season.  As a result, the largest cause of ejections went to check swings this season.
• An interesting NFL schedule quirk:  Jacksonville will not be playing a home game this entire month.  After playing Cincinnati, they go to London for two games.  Then their bye.
• Not only that, but they lose two home games this year because of the schedule.  And they requested it.
• Why?  They have to perform renovations on their stadium in-season (probably due to Florida weather), and need that entire month to try to get it done.

I guess I get to do this now: Cornell.

Semi-related to sports for obvious reasons -- and the irony has not been lost on several social-media posters tonight.

In the backdrop of the whole DeShaun Watson-fest tonight, consider this developing story:

Cornell University is being forced to submit to an independent investigation of an anonymous former student alleging to be gang-raped by a fraternity in October of 2024.

And one of the first things which has come out is that the research university is one of the worst in the nation in defending women against sexual assault and rape.

With this knowledge almost certainly in mind, the woman definitely waited too long to have a rape kit prepared, and has been conflicted in reporting this -- which is why this situation took nearly two years to surface.

So how many valuable men were in that fraternity?  How many potential top-end researchers that this University believes they can't do without??

How many threats has she gotten, probably up to and including the University itself...

Consider this as Cleveland celebrates DeShaun Watson and even the Amazon broadcast seemed to laud him -- an action almost certainly on orders from New York, and, given Pigfucker the Rapist in the White House, perhaps beyond...

After Further Review (College): And it's good to see this week is off to a rousing start...

First quarter, punt return for North Texas (in white and green) vs. Tulsa (in the blue):

In what universe is this not AT MINIMUM an ejection, if not investigatable???
