When South Carolina’s Stephen Garcia was taken out by a referee in the LSU game, many of us thought the ref had some money on the game. Perhaps the same can be said for Garth DeFelice who took out Rams running back Kenneth Darby with this strong jab.

MDS at FanHouse makes the strong point that Patrick Willis got credit for the tackle. See, that’s what happens when you build up a strong reputation around the press box. I’m glad the guy I’m playing in fantasy football doesn’t have Willis on his defense otherwise that would totally suck. There’s also video of the play as it unfolded live, but it’s nowhere near as good as the frozen capture. Refs really need to stop betting on the games!
