Bring Back All Those Cleveland Jokes

To avoid future debacles like the one in Cleveland on Sunday, I suggest a change in the NFL replay policy: No replays during games. At the end of the game, the team with the most points is the “provisional winner.” Then a group of officials replays the entire game looking for blown calls, corrects them and creates a revised scenario of the game based on these corrections. They would have 24 hours to do this. The team with the most points in the revised scenario is the “actual winner.”

Has anyone else seen the coincidence in some recent news items?

Crowds at football games in Cleveland and New Orleans disrupt games by throwing beer bottles on the field, endangering players and officials.

NBC says it will begin airing hard liquor ads.

NFL owners say they are not considering banning beer sales at games.

Can anyone spell Anheuser-Busch or Miller?

Oh, well. The cigarette attorneys will be finished with the tobacco companies soon and then look out, alcohol industry.

After the debacle in Cleveland on Sunday, it’s reassuring to know that everything changed on Sept.11.
