OMG LOLZ you guys were expecting an article today, weren't you? OMG you totally were. Dude, that sucks, cuz I so didn't write one.

Instead, it's the return of the Tako Tuesdays podcast! Yes, it is the return. I did do a couple of these last year. Seriously, I did! Look it up!

This week's edition, I focus on the major developments in this year's Super Bowl, basketball refereeing, vicious football rumormongering, and Shayne Skov being a naughty boy. Have a listen, won't you?

The refs and players have to be okay with a little more physicality

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. No more 43 fouls in a non-physical game. Get rid of the ticky tack. Couldn’t agree more.

I disagree

Have you watched Big East or Big Ten basketball? Some of those games are just as unwatchable with how much banging and pushing goes on. Players need to be able to adjust their games to what the refs are calling on both ends of the floor. If refs are calling it tight, you have to not reach, play defense with your feet and sag off a little more to give room so you don’t get the ticky tack calls. On the offensive end, you need to attack and not settle for quick jumpers.

I think what people get upset about is the inconsistency of the calls. Although, when you’re biased for one team, any foul called on your team is most likely going to be perceived as inconsistent.

I think both of those conferences are infinitely more watchable than the Pac-12

I don’t want to see a 43 foul free throw fest in a game that wasn’t very physical. It absolutely destroys the flow of the game far more than letting teams be a little physical will. I want to see players play, not referees blow whistles. And, this isn’t some newfound philosophy because of this game. I’ve been complaining about this since ’02 when Luke and Luke went to East Rutherford to play Cincinnati and got absolutely mauled because the physicality was unlike anything they had ever seen. You breathe on someone in this conference and the whistle is coming out.

Maybe it stems from being a post in high school, but I hate soft basketball. I’ll watch physical play over ticky tack calls any day.
