Keepin’ it unreal:
When I consider the miserable, thankless jobs I might have had, several come to mind: Mike Francesa’s food-taster, Stephen A. Smith’s urban dialects coach, Colin Cowherd’s fact-checker.
But then I ran into the weekend’s Bills-Broncos playoff game, one that stretched the boundaries of “get it right” officiating to beyond human ability and culpability, be it a matter of see-it, call-it and the human condition that includes awareness and reluctance to call outcome-changing penalties late in close games.
Beyond the highly discussed completion turned interception, that game included roughly a dozen other calls that no right-minded, good-sighted viewer could dispute. At least those viewers without bets on the games and players.
