LeSean McCoy: Replacement Referees Are Like Fans & One Said ‘I need you for my fantasy [team]‘

All, Fantasy Sports, NFL Stephen Douglas September 18th. 2012, 10:41am

The troubles with the replacement referees continue to mount. In a recent interview, Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy recounted two mildly disturbing tales about replacement referees this season. From CBS Philly:

“During the game, they made like a bad call or something, the ref, and I see Ray Lewis like pump his chest up, trying to scare him,” LeSean McCoy told 94WIP’s Anthony Gargano and Ike Reese on the 94WIP Player’s Lounge on Monday. “Don’t you know [the ref] started stuttering? I’m like ‘what’s this?!’”

In the referee’s defense, it’s Ray Lewis. He (allegedly!) killed a guy! Still, he should stand up for himself and walk away. Now for another tale of possible partiality.

“They’re like fans, kind of though,” McCoy said. “I’ll be honest, they’re like fans. One of the refs was talking about his fantasy team, like ‘McCoy, come on, I need you for my fantasy,’ ahhh, what?!”

I have LeSean on my fantasy team too. And so do a lot of NFL players. Still, professionalism and whatnot. Its clear that the replacement referees are not conducting themselves in a manner that players or coaches can or will respect. That is a problem.

I think the bigger problem has been that the refs take forever to figure out things. They undermine their own authority on the field by constantly having to get help from the off field official.

What’s this? What’s this?
There’s color everywhere
What’s this?
There’s white things in the air
What’s this?
I can’t believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn’t fair
What’s this?
What’s this? What’s this?
There’s something very wrong
What’s this?
There’s people singing songs
What’s this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this?
What’s this?
There’s children throwing snowballs
Instead of throwing heads
They’re busy building toys
And absolutely no one’s dead
There’s frost on every window
Oh, I can’t believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warmth
That’s coming from inside
Oh, look
What’s this?
They’re hanging mistletoe, they kiss
Why that looks so unique, inspired
They’re gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What’s this?
What’s this?
In here they’ve got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?
They’re covering it with tiny little things
They’ve got electric lights on strings
And there’s a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I’m wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What’s this?
Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there’s nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Oh ensnare them, only little cozy things
Secure inside their dreamland
What’s this?
The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can’t be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around
Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Are absolutely everywhere
The sights, the sounds
They’re eveywhere and all around
I’ve never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough
I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my own
I’ve got to know
I’ve got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?

I wanna, li-li-li-lick you from yo’ head to yo’ toes
And I wanna, move from the bed down to the down to the to the flo’
Then I wanna, ahh ahh – you make it so good I don’t wanna leave
But I gotta, kn-kn-kn-know what-what’s your fan-ta-ta-sy
[Ludacris]
I wanna get you in the Georgia Dome on the fifty yard line
While the Dirty Birds kick for t’ree
And if you like in the club we can do it
In the DJ booth or in the back of the V.I.P.
Whipped cream with cherries and strawberries on top
Lick it don’t stop, keep the door locked don’t knock while the boat rock
We go-bots and robots so they gotta wait til the show stop
Or how ’bout on the beach with black sand
Lick up your thigh then call me the Pac Man
Table top or just give me a lap dance
The Rock to the Park to the Point to the Flatlands
That man Ludacris (woo) in the public bathroom
Or in back of a classroom
How ever you want it lover lover gonna tap that ass soon
See I cast ‘em and I past ‘em get a tight grip and I grasp ‘em
I flash ‘em and out last ‘em
And if ain’t good then I trash ‘em while you stash ‘em
I’ll let ‘em free
And the tell me what they fantasy
Like up on the roof roof tell yo boyfriend not to be mad at me
[Chorus]
[Ludacris]
I wanna get you in the bath tub
With the candle lit you give it up till they go out
Or we can do it on stage of the Ludacris concert
Cause you know I got sold out
Or red carpet dick could just roll out
Go ‘head and scream you can’t hold out
We can do it in the pouring rain
Runnin the train when it’s hot or cold out
How ’bout in the library on top of books
But you can’t be too loud
You wanna make a brother beg for it
Give me TLC ’cause you know I be too proud
We can do it in the white house
Tryna make them turn the lights out
Champaign with my campaign let me do the damn thing
What’s my name, what’s my name, what’s my name a sauna, jacuzzi
In the back row at the movie
You can stratch my back and rule me
You can push me or just pull me
On hay in middle of the barn (woo) rose pedals on the silk sheets uh
Eating fresh fruits sweep yo woman right off her feet
[Chorus]
[Ludacris]
I wanna get you in the back seat windows up
That’s the way you like to fuck, clogged up fog alert
Rip the pants and rip the shirt, ruff sex make it hurt
In the garden all in the dirt
Roll around Georgia Brown that’s the way I like it twerk
Legs jerk, overworked, underpaid but don’t be afraid
In the sun or up in the shade
On the top of my escalade
Maybe your girl and my friend can trade; tag team, off the ropes!
On the ocean or in the boat! Factories or on hundred spokes!
What about up in the candy sto’ that chocolate chocolate make it melt
Whips and chains, handcuffs, smack a little booty up with my belt
Scream help play my game; dracula man I’ll get my fangs
Horseback and I’ll get my reigns, school teacher let me get my grades
[Chorus – repeat 4X
I wanna, li-li-li-lick you from yo’ head to yo’ toes

I gotta imagine teams are actively reviewing video to see what they can teach their players to get away with that the refs are routinely missing. I think Rodney Harrison said something along the lines of “teams will adjust to their game” on SNF. (Referring to the refs)
Every team wants an advantage… learning how to deceive these refs can be an easy way to gain that.

How is that any different than hipster being against anything that’s popular.
This is a complete misconception. Hipsters like plenty of stuff that are popular. Sometimes not even ironically.

*waits NYC twitterati to tell me hipsters aren’t really a thing anymore and that Animal Collective isn’t fucking awful*
Hipsters aren’t a thing, that’s just mainstream now. People complaining about dub-step one year ago now bob their heads to it during Nissan commercials. All your dissonance to the new is unbecoming which Mole pointed out about the simpson’s episode The Principle and the Pauper.
Igor Stravinsky agrees.

I’d argue hipsters like popular things non-ironically is very ironic.

The fantasy angle raised another important question: outcomes. How many of these officials want to see a score end up a certain way, whether its total points, spread or just a result?
The refs from this game would like a word from you.
They all huddled around each other to find out if their “Buffalo Wild Wing” buzzer was going off too.
/had a Steelers -4 in that game
//was a Polamula TD dammit

I was really suprised how much more explosive Trent Richardson looked in just 7 days from the Philly game to the CIN game.

The only coach in John Fox’s ear is the guy reminding him to put in more chewing gum.

Well if you’re going to kill a football analyst for thinking his word is gospel you aren’t going to have a long list of writers to enjoy.

true story, and you’re right im kinda singling him out for being arrogant…i just don’t like reading articles where it feels like im being spoken down to. he has a certain tone about his writing i don’t care for…same with a lot of the FO guys. FO used to be a staple…i can barely read it anymore.

Said ‘I need you for my fantasy [team]‘
I just realized, that was a pretty big word to add in brackets.. without it… maybe the ref was coming on to him?

I can understand that. And I have no doubt I enjoy him more than most because of the NFCE/Eagles focus. I definitely phase certain sites and writers in and out from time to time as well.

I think the whole ‘THIS GUY WAS A SCHOOL TEACHER!’ complaints is hilarious.
Captain Miller was a schoolteacher before the war, and he found Private Ryan. You are not your job.
