I’ve been watching this mess with Olympic Gymnastics, and I think this collection of sorta-kinda sports has the right idea. Let’s bring the judges to all sports. Instead of tangible results, let’s base everything on opinions. If Barry Bonds hits a homerun with the bases loaded, the umps should judge it on height, distance and speed. Maybe it was a weak shot down the line, it may have a starting value of 4 runs, but due to several deductions, this Grand Slam is only worth 3.785 runs.
Peyton Manning throws the fade to Reggie Wayne in the end zone; Wayne juggles it before making the catch… that’s a .2 of a deduction, plus an additional .5 deduction for not “sticking the landing”. I’m sorry, that touchdown is only worth 5.3 points. But don’t worry; Mike Vanderjagt will be attempting the extra-point from 45 yards out, for a start value of 1.2 points.
This idea is magic, I tell you.
