VAR Has One Job, And It's Failing Miserably At It: The most common complaint against VAR—or any form of video review in sports—in one of aesthetics. If referees insist on stopping the game for several minutes to double check every key play, the thinking goes, all the drama and intensity and emotion of the biggest moments will be lost, and the celebrations of fans will be replaced by hesitance and trepidation while they wait to confirm that what they just saw with their own eyes actually happened. It’s a fine argument, one that at least a strong minority of sports fans would agree with. But most leagues around the world have chosen to ignore it. If the game gets delayed for a bit, they’ve decided, that’s okay, because it’s a small price to pay to avoid controversy and make sure officials are making an objectively correct call.

A disappointing result. After such a fabulous start, the Lions really let this one slip away.

Yikes, 1/4 so far with a busted lock. I might have to switch to making my picks and then flipping them all to the other team.

Yeah, I thought I was joking when I asked that. Then when Miami punched in after the muffed punt and the bad pitch/fumble with 5 minutes left, it was surely over.
