Lets talk about rules.

Mar 15, 2008 I site.

I just finished watching the UK vs. Georgia game on Yahoo sportscast. I am so mad right now, if I had a CRT monitor, my fist would be through it. Why? At the end of the game, kentucky used a well structured play in hopes of forcing a foul. In my opinion, I witnessed the most perfect execution of that play ever. The georgia player was tricked into bulldozing over a kentucky player near the sideline. No foul was called. Kentucky ended up losing.

I learned a real valuable lesson that I think completely applies to our business. RULES were created to have order — but most of the time, chaos prevails and rules are worthless. There was no way the official would call that foul, though it should have happened. Google should ban every ’sketchy site’ it finds, parasite hostings _shouldnt_ work. Guess what, it does. You have to make a choice, do you take the moral high ground or exploit a system and its rules.

I, personally, have found success by putting the ‘rules’ aside.

Georgia, and the asshat SEC officials, win.

    The problem is with rules is that they are usually inconsistently applied, i.e. rigged. In college basketball, the refs will call fouls all game long and then in the last 30 seconds they put the whistle in their pocket. You almost never see a foul called on the last shot of the game, especially if its a drive to the basket or any shot in the lane. I ascribe that to the officials “not wanting to decide the game” which just means not wanting to to take the heat for doing their job.

    totally agree with pizza party. Also think about it from the ref’s perspective… when’s the last time you saw a charging call off of an out-of-bounds… never happens

    funny, i was thinking about the moral ground a couple of wks ago after their last update. playing fair is getting to be an EXPENSIVE proposition and less and less profitably by the day.. i need to spend more time with you guys on irc
