Just caught a great point on 1st and 10, that I've thought about before and can never really get a good answer to....
In certain sports - basketball for instance... why is it this accepted phenomenon that the home team will always shoot more free throws than the away team? The calls shouldn't work that way, but they always seem to.
How is it that we've come to believe this is an acceptable "tradition" in sports? When you start "owing" people foul calls due tothings that have nothing to do with the players and game themselves, aren't you toeing a very slippery slope?
