NFL: Week 3 - "Ed Hochuli: We Need Your Guns"

By -

I think that the controversial call at the end of Monday night's Packers @ Seahawks game tells us one thing... "we need Hochuli to arm-wrestle someone and get the regular officials back calling the NFL games."

I know that he's been hitting the gym while he's been "off-duty," so I truly feel that it shouldn't be a problem for him to take down whoever he needs to in a winner-take-all arm-wrestling match.  The only person I might be worried about is Lincoln Hawk from the 1987 film, "Over the Top."

Bearing in mind the controversial call in the Sunday-nighter between the Pats and Ravens, this "Jennings-Tate" miscall shows that the time has never been more pressing - we need Hochuli and his biceps back in their proper place - on the NFL field.

Kudos to Packers coach, Mike McCarthy for refusing to get caught up in the controversy.  McCarthy calmly stated when asked if this will motivate his team in a good way, "I don't want to get into that drama."  This is balanced out with his quarterback's statement, "It was awful," in reference to the call.  Rogers has a right to be upset, and this may result in some punishment.  

All in all, this has been one hoot of a Week 3 in the NFL.

Coupled with the NHL lockout, it seems that baseball is presently the major sport with the least amount of scandal controversy.  This is odd given the recent history with performance enhancing drugs in "America's favourite pastime."  So Refs - get something figured out quickly before this season gets out of hand!


Games to watch this week:
Chargers @ Chiefs (Sun. 1:00pmEST)
Titans @ Texans (Sun. 1:00pmEST)
Redskins @ Buccaneers (Sun. 4:25pmEST)

The Yips

Growing up I was absolutely enamored with the game of baseball. In my humble opinion, baseball stands alone atop the Mount Rushmore of North American sports in its ability to be romanticized. If you remember the  leitmotif of the movie, "Moneyball", was "It's hard to not be romantic about baseball." It's tough to find a line in a film that resonates so much with reality, at least as I see it. What other game can you watch someone try and be perfect for 27 outs and roughly 130 excruciating pitches? What other game can you watch someone lose their mind over an incident involving the length of pine tar applied to a bat? What other game can you get 'beaned', watch the pitcher 'balk', take your base, avoid being picked off by a sly pickoff move, and jump out of the way of your teammate's line drive all in a matter of a minute? Or, to think of even what happened this week in baseball, Mookie Betts took a homerun away by a matter of inches wi...

Arozarena And His Rays

If you somehow missed out on watching Game 4 of the 2020 World Series, I must tell you that you missed an all-time classic. There were a plethora of lead changes, momentum swings, and no shortage of heroes. Even though the hometown boy Brett Phillips delivered the game-winning hit in the bottom of the 9th, Randy Arozarena continues to be the backbone of this incredible Tampa Bay Rays baseball club. So who is this phenom of a baseball player? I need to be upfront about how I haven't followed this baseball season as closely as normal because my Boston Red Sox's management decided to punt on the season by trotting out a rotation of minor league pitchers. This means that Randy Arozarena was unfamiliar to me until this postseason. Now I can decisively state that Arozarena   is one remarkable hitter of the baseball! Arozarena began his career with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2019. He only appeared in 19 games and so he's still considered a rookie in 2020. Even though the sample s...
