Fantastic game last night, if you can set aside that one clutch call that the ref might or might not have blown. My wife only watches football to a) see the steelers win or b) see the Ravens lose, and she yelled at me each time I looked away from the screen and glanced at my iPad during the fourth quarter.

What is the best way to sell a used vehicle? I’m kind of scared of Craigslist, to tell you the truth… Have sent around an email to our very small circle of acquaintances here in Denver asking if they can pass on info to anyone they know in the market for a great used car. Beyond that, what to do?
Autotrader? Craigslist? One of those signs in the window?
It’s an immaculate vehicle, and we won’t be selling it cheap (hoping for $20k or close to it), but it does need to be sold before we move in 3 weeks. I am really dreading this. We’ve always had people lined up to buy our vehicles, so this is our first foray into the land of questionable used car sales…

One thing I always learned from sports was that if you were in a position for the refs to “cost” you the game, it’s your own damn fault.
The refs let them play yesterday, hell, there was an honest to Buddha fight in the middle of the game wherein a guy shoved a ref and all that came from it was offsetting unnecessary roughness penalties.
The 49ers didn’t execute as well as the Ravens did, ergo, the Ravens won. I’m just surprised the 49ers made it a bit of a game post lighting malfunction.

I don’t really care about either team (I dislike the 49ers going back to their bitter rivalry with the Bears but no biggie). To me, the 49ers didn’t look totally ready to play on defense at the beginning of the game. Their offense looked fine, but even then, the playcalling was not great. If Jim Harbaugh is doing the playcalling, that may be why. That guy needs to calm down and get his head focused instead of turning his eyelids inside out and having a major meltdown every two minutes. Its not good for his team to see his poor self control. His brother showed emotion but was more balanced and I think that it reflected in his team’s performance. The Ravens were all business right out of the gate.

@Anne Laurie: Interesting. I hadn’t followed the DNA details. I now gather that they used mitochondrial DNA, which passes through the female line, and that it’s not exactly certain enough to establish the relationship all by itself, but was close enough in this case at least not to rule the skeleton out as Richard.
The princes would not (I think) have been in the same maternal line as Richard was, so I suppose it’s possible that there is a descendant of someone in that line (Cecily Neville instead of Elizabeth Woodville?) that could be a source of DNA for the princes. But I’m not sure if I’m right about how this works, or what the exact relationships are.
Anyway, as scav points out, it’s not clear what that would prove about who killed them (though I have the feeling it’s not good for Richard if they are the princes, but if not, it clouds the matter)).

Mention was made today in another article I read that the male relative in Canada was a descendant of Richard III’s sister. This suggests to me that they used mitochondrial DNA testing to make the match. (Only the egg contributes mitochondria to the fetus.)
It was also mentioned that an attempt was made to match using the Y chromosome, but the attempt was either inconclusive or incomplete at this time. (The Y chromosome is passed along from male to male only.)

@David in NY:
At as far remove as this, even a mitochondrial DNA mismatch wouldn’t be conclusive, since you start getting into the murky world of whether or not somebody’s stated genealogy is accurate. Female descent is harder to get wrong than male, but in almost 20 generations there’s plenty of room for an unregistered adoption or an accidental baby swap to mess things up. IIRC, they’re trying to do a Y chromosome match, too, which together with a mtDNA match and the skeletal evidence would be about as conclusive as you’re likely to get.
David in NY
@Roger Moore: I gather though, that if there were some adoption or the like, the test would be likely to come back negative — ruling out Richard. And it didn’t, so with the other circumstantial evidence it’s very likely to be him. I don’t get a sense of how close a match it was (if that’s the right way to put it).

@David in NY:
That was the point I was trying to make, but made a hash of. My point is that even a mismatch wouldn’t conclusively rule out Richard III, since there’s always a possibility that there was some difference between the modern guy’s actual and purported ancestry. Since it came back as a match, it’s very likely that the modern guy and the skeleton share an all-female-line ancestor, which is strong evidence that it really is Richard III. Add in the other details- the scoliosis, likely cause of death, postmortem mutilation of the body, location of the burial, etc.- and the ID should be strong enough to hold up in a court of law.

If they won’t give you the price you want, go with Autotrader – that’s where the used car types go. Use Craigslist if you want to advertise it as ‘previously cumstained’.
OP: if you can set aside that one clutch call that the ref might or might not have blown.
The fourth down possible pass interference call? Enh. The defender does get to push off (and by that I mean ‘throw headslaps’) and the receiver doesn’t get to grab the defender’s facemask and start trying to armwrestle in response. The only possible call was offsetting penalties.
There’s a concept in hockey called ‘let ’em play’ which means that penalty calling gets relaxed in the playoffs rather than piss everybody off with nickle and dime calls. That seems to have been what the zebras were doing last night. I didn’t see any egregiously bad calls or non-calls last night. I did see some bad playcalling by Mr. Temper-tantrum.

I hate the “let ’em play” attitude, at least when it’s used to justify calling fouls differently depending on the importance of the play or the game. Important plays and important games should be called the same as less important ones. To do otherwise is a de-facto rule change and tends to systematically benefit the team that is more brutal. The only exception is that the officials should be especially lenient about letting players and coaches vent about their officiating.
JWL
I’m a lifelong Niner fan, and have no problem with last night’s officiating. They let ’em play, as is proper in play-off football.
Congrats, Baltimore. I know it must be cool to have knocked off a heretofore undefeated Super Bowl team, especially the way the Ravens played. Believe me, Flacco’s performance makes the loss quite a bit more bearable than it might have otherwise been. That, and the fact I’m getting older, and older.. and older.
I used to feel the pain decades ago, believe me. Consider this- from the early seventies to the late Nineties, Bay Area fans of both the Niners and Raiders (like me) watched with a genuine rooting interest more playoff games than any other fan base in the country. Year in and year out, the two teams competed at the highest level, and won seven Super Bowls between them (I include the LA Raiders in the equation). When Pittsburg would stuffed the Raiders in a the playoffs, it burned and gnawed at me. When a horseshit pass interference call against Ronnie Lott sent the Redskins to their first Super Bowl under the great Joe Gibbs, I was truly pissed off. The last time I vehemently emoted was during the Tuck Rule Game.
Last night, the Ravens played well and the Niners not good enough. The better team won, and it only galls me a little to say it. And Colin Kap is returning next year.
