Hand That Bum Higgins His Walking Papers
Mike Alexander
I was going to write a hateful comparison between high school battle of the bands and the officiating in the CFL. I read what I had wrote and decided that I wasn’t being fair to the kids. But what about those lousy useless refs in the CFL? Yeah..waht about them…
Let’s take a moment to reflect on some of the worst officials I’ve ever seen in my life. Because ladies and gentlemen, this season in the CFL is an embarrassment and after seeing what I saw on the field last week in Winnipeg, I can’t help but to think that these clowns in stripes calling plays on the field are just a bunch of dirty old perverts and scumbags who have no business living outside of a very small cage where small children are allowed to poke them with sticks and make them feel terrible inside. These referees and umpires have been terrible all season long, but last week was an outrage and it stunk to high hell.
Winnipeg first down at the Als one yard line with 8 seconds on the clock resulted in Winnipeg getting two plays out of three in before the refs finished the game even though there was time on the clock. And then the CFL’s boss of the refs, Tom Higgins goes on the record saying that he was glad that the game wasn’t decided by a blown call and that he was okay with Montreal winning the game. He said that Winnipeg shouldn’t have won the game on account of the horrible pass interference call against the Al’s. Which to me sounds like ol’ Higgins is fine with one mistake being cleaned up by another mistake. What? Really?
This is amateur hour at its worst. Refs are getting fired, games are being ref’d about as worse as I’ve seen and the league looks like a playground for buffoons and failed business school flunkies and idiots. It’s disgusting to look at.
Is there a game today? Who knows? Who cares? As long as the league continues with the blown calls and garbage refereeing, what’s the point? One would imagine that with the CFL being televised farther and wider than ever before that the league would be concerned with its image abroad, but apparently not. This week Higgins fired Rick Berezowski for having the nerve to blow a call against the Als. Big deal. Call me when Andre Proulx gets fired as well. Another useless moron with a job he doesn’t deserve a job as far as I’m concerned.
I’m done for this week. If Higgins and the league aren’t going to deal with this crap, then why should the fans give a rat’s ass either?
Go Blue. You’re going to need all the luck you can get. And then some.
