IMO replay is destroying ALL sports.

Hockey and college basketball now are encountering more and more delays as officials go over to an iPad and run the play back and forth....back and forth....back and forth....

The other night there was a seven minute delay in an NHL hockey game. A sport that prides itself on nonstop action.

The most important thing is to get the call right? NO IT’S NOT! The most important thing is to maintain the flow of the game. Officials were getting calls wrong for decades, and sports were GREAT! The blown calls even out over time.

It’s so refreshing to tune to ESPN Classic and find an old game on there where there are NO delays to review officials’ calls.

Yes, replay is the dumbest thing ever added to sports.

Make the call and get moving. It’s a game, and the calls even out over time. It’s not that important who wins any particular game, even a Super Bowl.
