Sports Gone Insane, Day 14 Part 2: And on NFL Sunday, God-ell (and others) created Stupid

Sometimes I wonder if it was a waste of time to get an education.

Here are a number of examples as to why:

• We now receive word through Deadspin that the main impetus of Ray Rice's appeal of his indefinite ban will be...  that he has evidence that TMZ edited the video of his punch.

NOT the means by which, as repugnant as it would be, even I would have to admit he'd probably win (even though I asked for it before the punch video was also released!):  Double jeopardy.

• Fellow criminal Ratbird Ray Lewis:  "There are some things you can cover up, and some things you can't."  At least, to his apparent credit, he was slamming his friend Rice for the punch incident, but it is rather ironic how Murderer Ray is an expert on such subjects. *cough!*
• We got information, buried in much of the rest of the OTL Ravens cover-up story, that the Ravens actually were about to offer Ray Rice a cushy office job for his cooperation in all of this mess.
• Let's play a little game here, one you might well have played as a very young child.

First, let me sing the song:

"One of these things is not like the others..
 One of these things just doesn't belong...
 Can you tell me which thing is not like others...
 Before I finish this song??"  -- Sesame Street

Three clips, three incidents in the NFL games this weekend.

First, Thursday night in Atlanta, an NFL record was broken...



Not the greatest of videos, but the one which will get the point across.

Now, we go to Miami, where Brian Hartline needs this birdie...


I actually like the guy on the couch there, and there's no other video I could find.  The official in the picture, well, you'll get the idea in a second...

And, third, Washington's DeSean Jackson, back in Philadelphia, after fans burned one of his jerseys in effigy...


Two of these were flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. Hester's was, so was the "golf putt".  (The latter was the classic "choereographed celebration" foul, but will someone explain to me why the Lambeau Leap is, then, allowed?)

Will someone from the NFL please explain to me why Jackson was not flagged at LEAST once (and you could make the case for TWICE) for taunting?

And Jackson, apparently, later in the game, was part of an incident where he clocked a Philadelphia player, in a game which will almost certainly be an expensive Fine Blotter situation.

• Another Raider-Patriot game in Foxboro, another bad call screws the Raiders.  Stop me if we've gone here before.

Those last two might give you an idea of where they might be going (other than Seattle) for Super Bowl possibilities.

• Saturday night, ESPN gave us a big idea as to who was winning the first College Football Playoff.

This was Florida State's biggest game in a weak ACC -- with their rapist quarterback suspended for showing what he truly was again, Clemson had an opportunity to beat Florida State and end the championship run.

But, after a turnover which cost them the last chance of winning in regulation, they laid an egg on 4th down in overtime and Florida State (with chips called in) survived with Jameis Winston on the sidelines.

... a Jameis Winston who was verbally referenced in the broadcast 60 times, and shown on the broadcast on 48 separate occasions for eight full minutes, according to Deadspin.

Ladies and gentlemen, ESPN has spoken:  The rapist pig is probably getting another Heisman, and almost certainly is getting the first CFP title, unless he can't keep his dick in his pants for the next four months.

This was the same Jameis Winston who had to be expelled to the locker room by his coach because he refused to respect his suspension and came out and practiced in full pads before the game began.

But the coach knows where his bread is buttered:  Winston officially rejoins the team on Monday.

• And one, on this last week of the regular season, from baseball:  The second baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals, Kolten Wong, is a religious man, according to Deadspin...

For those interested, Psalms 3:16 reads...

Well, it doesn't. THERE IS NO PSALMS 3:16!!! Psalm 3 only has 8 or 9 verses.

Nice job.
