I'm a replacement blogger here at "The Replacement Refs." I'm trying to make ends meet and hopefully get some tenure, but until then I'll just call it like I see it. If I miss it, I'll just take a wild guess. Depending on the sport, there's a 100% chance I'll be right 50% of the time, every time.
Basically, this blog is going to bring you anything I feel like, with the focus generated toward the easy targets, like Cleveland, Michigan's economy, Vince Young, A.J. Pierzynski, and particularly, professional sports officials. With the NBA throwing replacement refs to the wolves (and 29 other NBA teams), MLB umpires continuously being spit on by overweight managers, and of course, Ed Hochuli, I figured this would be a good blog to get going.
Strap on a...seatbelt, you sick fuck, and enjoy the ride. It's going to be bumpy and full of ejections.**
** Joe Posnanski created the "pozterisks," so I've been inspired to create the double asterTECHs. Get it? I'll belabor anyway. In basketball, if you get two technical fouls (sometimes called "techs") you're ejected. There can also be a single call, called the "double tech" for really crazy shit, like running into the crowd and beating up random fans. Keeping that in mind, double asterTECHs will take you outside the paragraph you are in. Instead of hitting the showers, you hit some other words/thoughts (sometimes, of wisdom). So with the random double asterisks placement, I've introduced the concept of double asterTECHs and will refer to them as so from now on.
