RE: The No-Call Heard 'Round the World

That was not a foul. Barry blew it.

RE: The No-Call Heard 'Round the World

Actually the rule is that you can jump straight up in the air and make contact without getting a foul called. At the very most it would have been a non-shooting foul but Barry didn't do enough to try and get a foul called. The funny thing is the Spurs all agree with this. Poor execution on a bad play.

"That's not going to get called in the Western Conference finals. Maybe in the regular season. But that call shouldn't be called in the Western Conference finals."

RE: The No-Call Heard 'Round the World

"The league office on Wednesday reviewed the final play of the San Antonio Spurs' 93-91 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals and acknowledged that a two-shot foul should have been called on Derek Fisher for impeding Brent Barry."

However...
"The Spurs, in truth, wouldn't have had a chance to tie or win the game in the final two seconds if not for a fortuitous non-call on the previous possession."

RE: Sports and a Pinch of Perspective

My expectations have been and are very low when it comes to professional athletes and personal behavior these days. In fact, I would say they have more of an excuse than you and me to indulge in life's part favors. Young adults who are pampered their entire lives are given tens of millions of dollars and we expect them to behave even better than the average citizen? It's not going to happen.

RE: Redskins land Haynesworth keep DeAngelo Hall

He is a beast. If he brings everything he has and keeps his cool this is a win for DC. Snyder likes to make big splashes and sort of lives by the mantra, "Go big or go home." Well it will be one of the two for Skins fans and Albert this season. I hope you are able to enjoy the ride as much as Vikings fans were able to enjoy the acquisition of Jared Allen last season.
