But despite this dearth of whiteness, last Sunday, when the Ravens had secured their (highly unfortunate) victory against the very-white Houston Texans, a camera panned to the raucous crowd, revealing a white female fan (maybe 18 years old?), clad head-to-toe in Ravens gear, jumping up and down, hugging her friend, and literally weeping tears of joy for her Chocolate Comrades.

Also there used to be a Cowboys fan that trolled the official Texans message board years ago who constantly called them the Tex-Annes.

Yeah, I've always heard "Fish" said about Miami in good and bad ways so it's really not that bad.

You can't really insult Miami any more than we've already been insulted by our coaching staff, our GM, our ownership. The only thing Miami has to be proud of is our cheerleading squad and their awesome ability to lip synch to Call Me Maybe.

I'm not kidding I'm actually happy about that

There was a (bad) rule at the time that a skate in the crease meant no goal, regardless of whether it actually interferes with the goalie. It's since been changed, but theoretically by the rules at the time that goal shouldn't have counted.

"Mathewson pitched against Cincinnati yesterday. Another way of putting it is that Cincinnati lost a game of baseball."
Eli was unbelievably awful through his first four years but at some point you can't just point to Eli as the developmental mark for a guy still struggling horribly, and "season four" is pretty much the point.

To expand, the Sabres lost the Stanley Cup Finals because of this goal. They were literally robbed of the greatest trophy in sports. :(

There was an NHL rule that any part of the body of a skater being in the opposing goalie's crease was cause to disallow the goal for goalie interference. There was an exception for a skater who had possession of the puck prior to entering the crease, which comes up in a bit.

So, 1999 Stanley Cup Finals, the Stars led the series 3-2 over the Sabres, and the game went into triple OT. That's when Brett Hull scores the goal you see there 14 minutes into the third overtime, except that he's got a foot in the crease in a way that doesn't interfere with the goalie. The non-interference doesn't matter, though, as per the rule at the time. None of the refs spotted it immediately, the celebrations began (since it was the championship-clinching goal), and by the time anyone actually noticed there was a problem, it had basically become too late to take it back.

Ultimately, the NHL came out and said that the goal was valid because Hull had the puck, shot the puck at Hasek, collected the rebound, and scored, which counted as Hull having control of the puck through that entire sequence, meaning that the exception for the player in control of the puck applied and Hull's skate in the crease was allowable. There were examples of very similar plays being disallowed during the season, though, and this rang about as hollow as the NFL's insistence that the refs on MNF made the right call. Shortly afterwards, the crease rule was killed and you had to have actual interference with the goalie to disallow a goal.

In short, what just happened in Seattle? Imagine that instead of being a week 3 regular season game, that happened in the Super Bowl.

(Go Stars! Lockout? No, that just en- oh, wait :( )

However this shakes out, don't blame the replacements for a situation they did not create. They are people of average means who were trying to better themselves. They need to exit stage left, but deserve a measure of appreciation --say, first claim on future NFL officiating openings.
