AGAINST INSTANT REPLAY
To err, is human. To attempt to revise error and make a worse one, well, that must be really human, since it happens all the time. Home improvement projects. Middle Eastern geopolitics. Attempting to fix the code on your ten-dollar website. Fixing Mickey Rourke’s decade of bad plastic surgery. Examples abound of people being just garden variety incompetent but then soaring into the stratosphere of Olympian ineptitude by trying to correct the initial fuckup.
Mickey should have left a mistake alone.
We think this is exactly what will happen with instant replay in the NCAA in the 2005 season.

FURTHER EVIDENCE MAURICE CLARETT IS AN IMBECILE
The principal reason for all the hubbub in Columbus regarding the NCAA and potential violations all stems from the allegations made by former running back and NFL combine sloth Maurice Clarett. Clarett alleged improper exchanges of money and gifts from boosters, serious violations with serious punishments for an athletic program. One of the main reasons OSU avoided those penalties? Drumroll please…the NCAA never talked with Clarett himself. Why? Maurice apparently is just horrible with the voicemail thing, and didn’t return the NCAA’s phone calls.
Clarett: not just slow on the field.
