This is the problem when the officials half-heartedly rule a touchdown, hoping replay will sort it out. The replay was inconclusive, so the call was going to stand. Benefit of the doubt has become an important nuance to the rules.

#OTD in 2005 we lost Robert Hartwig. Cuesta College students today benefit from his legacy, even though they were born too late to know what a terrific broadcast professor he was. I knew him first as his student at Butte College and then as his friend. He is very much missed.

Someone needs to explain to me how a website with the name of my homeland in its title, and with plenty of blue-blooded U.S. funding, chose to accept a junket overseas when there is perfectly good and important racing going on over here. #FollowTheMoney
