Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes’ 150,000 Dollar Fines Must not be Paid Until Referees Making Bad Calls Deciding the Outcome of NFL Games are Also Fined

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 

The Kansas City Chiefs lost two games in a row, not because they failed to play the game, but because two referees decided who would win.

On December 3rd, with little time left in the game, Patrick Mahomes threw a pass to a receiver inside the five-yard line. The pass was ruled incomplete, although the defender was obviously guilty of interference. The Chiefs lost.

On December 10, playing the Buffalo Bills, once again there were seconds left when Mahomes completed a pass to Travis Kelce. Kelce threw a backwards pass to Toney who scored what would have made the game a tie. A referee made a call seldom enforced in the NFL, offsides by the offense. Before the ball was hiked, Toney’s foot was in the neutral zone. The Bills won.

Mahomes and Coach Andy Reid complained vehemently and had the courage to challenge the competency of NFL officials. A Cowardly commissioner, Roger Goodell, supported his failed officials and Reid was fined $100,000, and Mahomes $50,000.

I have watched officials make calls and fail to make calls which cost teams division championships and at least one Super Bowl. Why are they not fined for such egregious mistakes? If they screw up it can result in billions of dollars in losses for a single team.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncoming

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have writ

Lindsey Graham has Become a Whiny Little Bitch

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before Senator John McCain’s death in 2018, Lindsey Graham was a somewhat rational man. It seems that the Senator from Arizona kept the little man from South Carolina in line, and influenced him to do the right thing most of the time. However, almost immediately after Senator McCain lost his battle with cancer, Graham began to offer his allegiance to the man his closest friend despised. I will always wonder why? Senator McCain was a man with principles and integrity. Trump is a man filled with hatred and cares only for himself. The reality is that Graham is now a man without morals who supports a man he knows is opposed to everything loyal Americans like John McCain stood for. A CORRUPT SUPREME COURT, FIVE MEN AND FOUR WOMEN, COULD BRING AN END TO THE DREAM OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS No sane human being can deny that just before the 2020 election Moscow Mitch McConnell stacked the Supreme Court with three additional justices who are politically biased a
