But I do think technology should come in for the big decisions. Managers can lose their jobs on the basis of one bad call. Is that really acceptable?

For instance, after the NCAA tournament, I can now safely say that I will never, ever, EVER, set foot in a Buffalo Wild Wings, simply due to the sheer stupidity of the commercial they produced (you know the one..."Man, I wish this game would last forever....hey, barkeep, will you send it into overtime!?") and too the frequency at which CBS decided I was subjected to it.

I now struggle to pay attention to what was once my favorite sport (american football) as there's so little actual GAME going on. I think it was the Washington Times that analyzed an NFL game and said that there is only eleven minutes of actual game action in a 3+ hour broadcast. Mad props for the Fishwick Minibus mention.
