A good argument could be made that that is evidence in favor of your statement.
highlighted how they got the call right by the letter of the law in the Eagles/Bears game but was silent on how they inexplicably didn't give Watt's brother a TD in the Chargers/Ravens game. Then their partner in Fox in the post game swept under the rug the fact that the NFC champion was decided on an epic blown call. I'm no Saints fan but since the whole country is gonna be talking about how the Rams were gifted a Super Bowl birth for two weeks shouldn't somebody tell Terry Bradshaw to ask their head coach the question?
Minneapolis Miracle and the New Orleans No Call.
but deserves got nothin’ to do with it.
Signed Cardinal Nation.
Denkinger definitely blew the call but if Clark and Porter don’t completely screw up the foul pop up on the very next pitch, the inning probably unfolds a lot differently. Plus there was still a game 7.
But then again I’m still pissed at Larry Barnett for Game 5 in 1975 😋
In New England infamy. Damn that is still painful.
The players go through so much all season only to see their dreams shattered by incompetent or maybe even corrupt refs. I have no doubt that Goodell wanted LA in the Super Bowl.
you note later in the post, is more accurate.
Suh or Tom Brady for the Ring. Woo hoo. Puke.
At least we have Sully in there.
Lies throughout. Relocation guidelines? Who needs them. Should it come down to it, I will loudly root for the Patriots in two weeks.
I’m a Bears fan but live close enough to StL to listen to 550 and 1120 from time to time.
StL got the raw dogged by the NFL and Kroenke.
Then again his first name is Enos so he was destined to act out.
To keep the Rams there.
for a new stadium. The NFL continually moved the goalposts on how much money the city had to fork over, rejected their own relocation guidelines, and voted against the only city with a viable plan to keep their team, as Oakland and San Diego had nothing close to resembling St. Louis’ offer. This was shady business at its worst.
I said at the time they moved it wouldn’t have been so bad if Kroenke was just honest from the get go: “I want to move the Rams to LA for the money, and there’s not a damn thing any of you (St. Louis, the NFL) can do to stop me.” I would have still been mad, but lots of time and money would not have been wasted. I’m still convinced Kroenke would have sued the NFL if they voted against him.
[It was clear the Rams were goners when Kroenke rejected Shad Khan’s offer to buy part of the Rams, promising to keep them in town. That didn’t work with a move to LA.]
Speaking of lawsuits, I don’t know where in the process the City’s lawsuit against the NFL and Kroenke is, but I hope they don’t settle. I want to see the discovery. The City may not win, but the NFL will lose by the end.
replays galore & the usual talking head imbeciles analyzing it for the next 12 months...if not longer.
that there's not really much to discuss or analyze. They blew the call, that's pretty much all there is to say. Cost Drew Brees another shot at a Super Bowl, which is too bad.
on that interception in OT.
One of the worst non-calls I've ever seen.
the Saints got screwed big time with that non-call. But had they run it on first down inside the fifteen, the clock would've expired during the Rams' drive and the Saints would have won the game in regulation.
Wow, though. That was blatantly pass interference
I thought it was close. Probably P> The angle Fox keeps showing is irrelevant because it does provide context to where the ball is and the hit.
If the NFL had its choice it would want New Orleans to win, not the Rams.
Wouldn't the NFL much prefer a SB appearance for the team in the 2nd largest media market that's known to have fans that are frontrunners?
as one might expect. Serious not sarcastic.
I hold no notion whatsoever of conspiracy or NFL wanting this or that. The non-call simply sucked.
