Homer calls are alive and flourishing in Indiana. I thought the game had been called pretty well until late.

It hasn't seemed to be as prevalent as in the past, but for years the refs would give calls to the visiting team in the 1st half, then to the home team in the 2nd half.

To show that they are being fair to both teams during the game, but cater to the revenue producing home crowd with the game on the line, when it mattered most.

It would be nice if every single call were based upon what transpired, but I can understand the business of wanting to send the fans home happy, so they'll come back through the turnstyles.

As I think back, it probably hasn't been the case once the playoffs start and tickets are harder to come by. That's life!

Well, and he's too effeminate to be cast as a macho action hero, but that isn't stopping the movie studios.

Yeah, but actors act, that's what they do. I'm really looking forward to Tom's lead role in the upcoming Moses Malone Story.

I'm pretty sure the middle series wasn't a best 5 out of 9.
Although I think Malone originally predicted fo'-fo'-fo' (three sweeps), it eventually became fo'-fi'-fo' (a sweep, 4-out-of-5 and a sweep).

You are correct, Sir!
