As we continue to debate the issue of causation vs. correlation in terms of Romney’s 47% comment and subsequent movement in the polls, I thought I’d just throw it out there that within 48 hours of my proposal of a potential game-changing (pun intended) tactic to end the NFL referee lockout, the lockout is indeed over. I may have had my critics, but you can’t argue with the outcome: history will record the NFL did not allow a single additional game in 2012 with replacement refs once my plan was out there . Correlation vs. causation – I’ll let you be the judge. But all I can say is I’m sorry to all the Packers fans that I didn’t think of this sooner…

Yes, Josh. You deserve full credit. The Commish and his acolytes became weak-kneed and in fear of their jobs at the very thought of those 15-minute sitdown strikes, PLUS the possibility of just one more blown game outcome. Congratulations!
So you are saying it was probably an interactive effect?

He does look like he could crush the “Mission Accomplished” banner if he wants to…
I agree, Roger Goodell was afraid of the “refinator”
