That's disturbing (if true)...

That is very disturbing but when I read the headline I thought it was going to be about the NFL rigging games to get Booger (Peyton Manning) into the SB. It's not like they don't try.

possible reasons seem to be that Boger is black? but nothing else really seems to be special

maybe all 8 downgrades were wrong? unlikely but possible

If they wanted a black referee, why not just use Mike Carey? He's bad, but he's not 8 downgrades bad.

What are the chances of being wrong eight out of eight times?

I was about to write, "It's not Booger, it's Goober." Never mind, close enough.
