Bill Simmons Hate Watch: He's upset over officiating in Pats/Colts game

[The Fake Shemp]

This week, he compares the officiating in the Pats/Colts game to the movie "Victory", which is basically The Longest Yard with Nazis instead of guards.

didn't they WIN that game?

also, wow, nazis.

[The Fake Shemp]

Yes, he is complaining about a game that his home team won.  I've been really trying to ignore him since the Celtics started strong, but once I saw a quip about how he was ANGRY about the Pats/Colts game on the front page of ESPN, my curiosity got the better of me.

He should win some kind of writing award for enacting Godwin's Law before he even argues his initial point.  The entire framework of his complaint is based around Nazis!

He should try telling that one in a room full of Raider fans.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

apparently he's spent so long building the Pats up as the greatest team that ever was that ever will be that there's nothing more to say, so he's now having to resort to building elaborate alternate universe scenarios where the Nazis try to keep the Pats from completing their God-given undefeated season (the Pats still win even in these alternate universes however)

Wow, how is it possible for such a dorky nerd nerd to make me dislike one of my favorite teams
