man.

the packers lost, and you got beaten by a tico.

it must really suck to be you today...

at least tomorrow is Monday, eh?

hoping sozlet has no big lumps on the pumpkin. or loops in the thought train...

This is another one I was happy to miss, I think.

That last call looked like it was baaaaadddd.....

Sucks about the O line though. Did officiating have anything to do with that -- not making calls on the Seahawks' defense? Or were they just bad?

NFL Upholds Touchdown Ruling

The NFL upheld the Seahawks' disputed 14-12 win over the Green Bay Packers and resumed meetings with
its locked-out officials in an attempt to resolve an impasse that has prompted torrents of criticism
against the replacement refs.

The NFL said Tuesday that Seattle's last-second touchdown pass should not have been overturned -- but
conceded Seahawks receiver Golden Tate should have been called for offensive pass interference before
the catch.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is meeting with representatives of locked-out officials as planned before
Monday night's controversial ending to the Seahawks-Packers game.

According to a source, there have been ongoing negotiations over the last week. In conversations Monday
afternoon, the parties scheduled sessions for Tuesday, and those meetings are proceeding.

In light of Monday's controversy, the NFL issued a statement on the labor dispute with the referees.

"There is broad agreement that the quality and consistency of officiating can and should be improved. How
to accomplish that is a critical issue separating the two sides in this negotiation," the statement read.
"While the officials' union would like to turn this into purely an economic dispute, we have told the union
and the federal mediator that we are prepared to make reasonable economic compromises and that we will
invest more money in officiating as long as it assures long term improvement.

"We have made a number of specific proposals to accomplish that, including by developing a deeper, more
diverse talent pool that is trained in NFL officiating earlier and more intensively."

While not mentioning the ending of the Packers-Seahawks game, President Barack Obama weighed in on
the dispute between the locked-out officials and NFL via twitter, writing, "NFL fans on both sides of the
aisle hope the refs' lockout is settled soon."

The game was fantastic except for the officiating.

But besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, what did you think of the play?
