Every body knows the SB champ has to at least get a home game in the play offs...

Like PI, defensive holding, or holding in general?

No, not like those. In the NFL, the inconsistency is more about how the officials call a game in general, although there are a few exceptions. In the NBA, it's all about giving stars better treatment. LeBron gets to take 4 steps without a call, while some stiff coming off the bench can't even get away with 3.

Or if your Kendrick Perkins not even two steps.

This is the same ref that called it on Brady in the Super Bowl. John Parry.

Clete Blakeman was reffing the Seattle game.

If I never saw Clete Blakeman calling a Patriots game again, that would be too soon.

Ravens D looking good. Looks like we will probably have to play them in the postseason for the 3rd consecutive year. These guys just won't go away.

And the nba is a large market, a star driven league. The nfl gets huge ratings regardless, so it is uhh their best interest to have every game meaningful. That's why no call in Carolina. No calls yesterday. Garbage calls tonight (tight afc involves far more teams than nfc, plus the entire lions division is pathetic. A ravens win creates the most parity). Go back and change simply the pats games that were decided or sealed by questionable at best officiating. Afc looks awful different all of a sudden, and Carolina sits differently too.

Go back and watch many if the meaningful games the last two weeks, all the calls favor "parity." Parity= ratings. Ratings= money.

In the nba, it's different, stars = ratings.

Almost forgot, how many posters have asked when Chandler Jones is going to stop getting the rookie treatment?

Perk fit so well into what the Celtics were about at that time. Trading him away was one of Ainge's more idiotic moves.

Perk was great here but, I disagree. After Perk's acl injury he's been garbage. C's didn't lose to the heat because of not having Perkins. Perkins wouldn't have helped much because heat's only good big is Bosh and he doesn't really post up much. Jeff Green has been playing very well past year and a half. Would hate to be stuck with that Perkins contract atm. Real problem was signing Jermaine O'Neal instead of trying to get someone who wasn't always injured.

Jeff Green is as soft as wet Charmin, and Perk's a bad fit in OKC because of the personnel. That trade was garbage for both teams.

Look for Arthur Jones to be on the Pats radar this off season.

Brutal officiating.

Brutal missed call. How was that arm bar not PI?

more "gift win" calls for the ravens

Horrible non-call.

Good to see the reffing is up to usual NFL standards
