(OK, its not really that good...but I blame my lack of humor on the pent up anger and lack of sleep)
start of important recorded session....
Voice 1: Hey, do your boogers taste sweet or sour?
Voice 2: I guess I’m not sure....do you want to try one or....
Voice 1: Whoo, wait there’s something going on on the field....some sort of commotion.
Voice 2: Yeah....looks like there was some sort of play in the endzone....do you think we should check what happened...it might be something we have to review.
Voice 1: I suppose, what channel is the game on?
Voice 2: I don’t know, just flip around till you find it.
Voice 1: Hey the ref is paging us from the field?
Refs voice: Guys, I think we might have a situation here. One of my officials got all messed up and thought he was at his normal dodge ball league that he officiates and really made a bad call.
Voice 2; We are seeing it on the screen now....what the heck...how could he have thought the guy from Seattle caught that pass?
Ref’s voice: Well, he says that as he was running into make the call he heard someone in the stand yell “how big are you?” and he instantly went with the “so big” sign that he uses when refereeing jr pee wee football. Next thing he knew, Seattle was celebrating the intercep....I mean touchdown.
Voice 2: I suppose we could overrule the call....we are the replay officials by the way.
Voice 1: Hey, I’m getting a call from commissioner Goodell, I’ll put it on speaker phone.
Goodell’s voice: Gentlemen, we have a situation here. If you overturn that bogus call on the field the NFL is going to look bad, the officials on the field will probably be tortured and burnt at the stake and many of the owners will be upset with me because we are gonna end up having to pay for competent officiating.
Ref’s voice: Hey, I take offense to that.
Goodell’s voice: Look at the call you guys just made.
Ref’s voice: Never mind.
Goodell’s voice: So here’s what we are going to do. The replay booth is going to uphold the call. It’s not like Green Bay has an owner that I have to deal with. Tomorrow we will release some bogus statement saying the call is correct. The league comes out looking like we know what’s going on, the officiating crew gets free coffee for life, and the Packer fans, being so loyal, will all be watching again next week.
Voice 1: But how are we going to explain such a blatantly wrong call?
Goodell’s voice: Don’t worry about it. Seahawk and Viking fans will believe whatever gibberish we make up about simultaneous possession and the media will keep us in the news for the next 72 hours. It’s actually going to be a plus for the league. Heck, I’m so sure this is going to be OK that I am willing to give the replacement officials some optometrist coverage on their insurance....God knows they need it.
Ref’s Voice: OK then, I am going to make the announcement that the replay has upheld the goof up on the...I mean the ruling on the field. Sure hope I can do it with a straight face.
Goodell’s voice: Good. Now I have to get back to washing Jerry Jones’ cat.
Voice 2: Ok, well I’m glad that’s done.
Voice 1: Sour
