  1. Sorry but judging flaws in a routine is as straightfoward as having the correct starting value. A mistake costs points that are deducted from that start value. The judges missed mistakes that would have cost more points than the starting value would have given back, and would have kept the SK guy at bronze in any case. If you want to go back and review the incorrect starting value, then you are well within rights to review the flaws that were missed, since we're rewriting history and all.

  2. Totally different. The judge's "judgment" error is part of the game (like when Andre Reed stepped two feet out of bounds and Reich found him for the TD in the Bills/Houston game- he was ineligible but the ref. didn't see it/chose to ignore it).

     

    An easily correctable non-judgment error that was not made *during* the routine should be corrected. Imagine if the computer that averages the scores made a miscalculation. That's a technical glitch, not a judgment mistake. This was the same.

     

    Hamm is a poor sport. We all know he didn't win. Still, he'll keep his tarnished gold like the punk he wasn't when he worked so hard to earn the silver.

    The judges "erred" in saying the start value was 9.9. Therefore Hamm keeps the medal.

  3. He should give it back just as soon as the Patriots give back the Lombardi trophy for the officials' errors in officiating the AFCCG against the Colts. IOW it ain't gonna happen.

     

    In any case, I saw on TV last night that on review, while the starting score for the SK gymnast was 0.1 lower, the judges missed mistakes that would have lowered his score even more than that, so in the end, no harm, no foul. I just wish Hamm had even not fallen-off the mat in the vault, so as to leave no doubt he was the rightful champ.

  4. Mort also said that no matter when RW comes back, he faces a minimum 4 Game Suspension, and will likely have to appeal in order to avoid an indefinite Suspension. Due to the fact that he retired after his 3rd failed test, Ricky basically opted out of the NFL manditory Drug Testing program. So Mort says that for now, that counts as another failed test which means indefinite Suspension pending appeal. Mort also said that Ricky's phone conversation with the Fish was mostly about wanting more money and less carries, which appearently pissed the Fish off even more...

     

    Got to admit...it's fun to follow this story... B)

    Yeah I read that he wants to pick the coaching staff, make more, and do less. Real brilliant there, Rick!

  5. There's no way Wicky should be allowed to play again. The guy admitted to being a pot head and that he used masking agents to cover up his drug tests. If the NFL allows him back, it will make what was previously window dressing (the drug testing policy) truly a joke.
