On the play, Wilson lobbed a spiral toward the end zone, where five
Green Bay defenders stood with two potential receivers. Tate shoved one
defender to the ground. Another defender, M. D. Jennings, appeared to
arrive at the ball first, appeared

to put his hands on the ball first, even appeared to come down with the ball first.
The NFL locked out the officials in June after their contract
expired. The league has been using replacement officials, and through
three weeks of the regular season there has been much criticism over the
way some games are being handled.
"Season's slipping away already," Glauber said. "Not what Drew
Brees had in mind as his response to Bountygate fiasco. Still enough
talent to get back into it, but time might be running out."
"This past weekend in the NFL has not only made a mockery of a great sport, but shined a very bright light on how

important fully trained and professional officiating is to player
safety," Sweeney said in a statement released by his office Tuesday
morning. "We wouldn't allow a factory or construction site to operate
without fully trained supervisors on hand to ensure the safety of
employees. Why should we do anything differently when the job site is a
playing field?"
Expanded sports betting, Keno and Internet gambling are expected
to bring in $7.75 million in new state revenue this fiscal year. Most
of that will be used to offset a decrease in the licensing fees the
state's casinos pay. Noncasino sports betting is projected to generate
$1.5 million in new state revenues this year.
So far, casino sports betting sales don't appear to be hurt
because of sports betting at bars and restaurants. The Lottery Office
reported casinos sold 13 percent more parlay cards in August compared to
a year ago.
NEW YORK --
NFL Steelers Brown Jersey
The last time the New York Giants saw the Philadelphia Eagles, DeSean
Jackson taunted Perry Fewell by flipping a ball at him and Eli Manning
took what the Giants considered to be a cheap shot on an interception.
The Giants were seething -- and their toughness was questioned
-- after that deflating 17-10 loss, yet another bitter defeat to the
Eagles.
"When people ask me questions about other teams and things of
that nature, I always say this: You go back to February and you see the
last team

that was standing," Tuck said at an appearance to launch the fifth year
of his R.U.S.H. for Literacy charity. "You ask any of those guys where
would they want to be on that date. They would say where we were. I
don't think we have anything to prove."
The Giants have nothing to prove, with two rings since the 2007
season. But they definitely won't forget some of their bitter, painful
defeats to the Eagles in what has been a lopsided rivalry of late.
"I mean Brandon Marshall talking about Shannon Sharpe ... `Who
is he to talk?"' Sapp said. "He's the first 100-catch receiver (tight
end) back to back, retard. What you just did in Denver for three years.
You don't know this? Of course he doesn't because it's not about Brandon
Marshall. It ain't about the past, it's about me because it's about
personal success, pay me and now I'll think about being a team guy."
"That's embarrassing. This is the NFL here. They're saying they
should have called pass interference, but they're saying the refs got it
right in the end zone."
The call also found its way into Wisconsin politics, with
Republican Gov. Scott Walker tweeting for the regular officials to
return. Opponents noted that he seemed to be supporting the referees
union after going after public employee unions last year, though
Democratic state Sen. Jon Erpenbach added: "We're all fans, first and
foremost."
As with every team, let's start at the quarterback -- or
quarterbacks in this case. The Tim Tebow experiment seems like a
recurring nightmare, serving to add nothing to an offense except
disrupting the rhythm of an already skittish Mark Sanchez. His adjusted
accuracy rating (excluding throwaways,

hits as thrown, batted passes and spikes while including drops) is 59.6 percent, the lowest of any starting quarterback.
The horrible call Monday night could also spark the NFL owners to finally settle with the league's regular officials.
