I don't think that is too much to ask, and frankly, it seems like most of america agree's with me. They are now doing polls concerning this election and OVERWHELMINGLY, it seems that most americans polled are peeved...don't understand...and agree that regardless, we should have a new president today......but then again, we have all seen that polls don't mean squat, however don't make me out to be a one team player over here. This has nothing to do with anything except there are obvious flaws either in the officiating or the rules of this game, and as a paying customer, I have every right to be peeved that the officiating sucked and the rules allowed for things to transpire that should not have. How do the Seattle fans of a few years ago feel when vunny never crossed the one yard line, yet was given the win, knocking seattle out of the playoff's....were those fans pissed? Did they have a right to be? The rules are what they were. Nothing is perfect, and very obviously, neither are the rules to the game now being played. Football corrected the problem with instant replay...and I hope all americans take a look at our rules in this game and come up with one or two changes that hopefully make it better. JMHOOC
