Stupor Bowl Day is better than Martin Luther King Ski Day for short lift lines...

It isn't crowded at the range, either. I probably shouldn't be giving the secret away...

At my local range, any day with snow is a good day to go. BLOAT.

Now that's a h**l of an idea! However, it's going to be below freezing Sunday and my range is outdoors... I know I should get some cold weather practice in but I'm just not feeling it right now...

If anything has dampened my enthusiasm for the NFL over the past few years it has been the rampant bad officiating. This past season there were Sundays I didn't even bother tuning in to a game, just blew it off and did stuff around the house. And it is not just "my team" - it is across the board. It is readily apparent there are three tiers in the NFL. There are the currently "favored teams" the teams currently "out of favor" with the powers that be, and many in no-man's-land in the middle.

Favored teams can expect their players to get extraordinary slack on penalties. Un-favored teams can expect to be penalized for the slightest hint of infraction. It is not as rigged as say a WWE title belt match, but it certainly is no-longer a fair game either. Un-favored teams have to overcome tremendous odds and adversity to win. Some still do. Favored teams can skate by to wins with little coordinated effort.

It is still fun to watch, the athletic skill displayed is amazing and entertaining. The biased officiating is teeth-grinding frustrating. Enough so that it is overcoming the entertainment value.
