"The previous play is under review"

I know it's a mute point, and no one really cares to hear it, and with all that is going on in the country and the world, it means absolutely nothing, but I am beginning to hate those "instant replays" they use during football games. Why have the striped shirts on the field, regardless of what they call, it means nothing. Their decisions means nothing anymore.

It makes me wonder how many games in the past would have gone the other way if they had "instant replay."

They do offer the opportunity to make more trips to the kitchen to get "refreshments." And it gives "sports announcers" to see a replay many times and on a number of occasions find out they were wrong. I love it when they say one thing, and find out they were wrong.

I turned off one game last night, got tired of them. What is even worse, the next play us underway, a whistle is blown, the play is stopped, "The previous play us under review." One case, they were kicking the "extra point" and the touchdown was taken away.

Coaches, teams, assistant coaches, managers, striped shirts, announcers, color announcers, analysts, and now a whole new category, replay analysts. Some of these "too many" bowl games, had more people involved in the game than they did people in the stands.

It used to be that two teams played against each other. Then they started broadcasting them on radio, now look what it has grown to.
