For the love of God... will the refs just please let the Bears and Vikings play?!?!?! We're coming up on the end of the third quarter and we're closing in on nearly 20 penalties between both teams. And some of the penalties that have been called are ones I've never heard of before.

The one thing that's great about all this mess is listening as Katie starts getting all snippy with the refs. A few examples...

"Wait a second... we got a first down and there's no yellow flag? What's wrong with you?"

"Uh-oh, someone spit on the field. That's a ten-yard penalty!"

"A defender just scratched himself. Half the distance to the goal!"

"Will someone please explain what the hell a 'neutral zone infraction' is?"

"Can I throw a flag at the refs for all the flags they've thrown?"

In response to on-screen note that Bears QB Rex Grossman has never thrown a fourth-quarter TD pass in his career... "Yes he has! He just did!" [Kevin's note: Even if it was a pass to the wrong team]

Check that, in the time that it's taken me to type this, another four penalties have been called and we're into the fourth quarter. Christamighty!

UPDATE: Of course that last comment by Katie does not take into consideration the fact that Grossman really does now have a fourth-quarter touchdown that he scored with about two minutes left in the game. Her comment was about the fact that he threw a ball that was intercepted by the Vikings and return about eight yards for a touchdown. Well, it was funnier in the moment.
