It was a terrible call, no doubt. I just think these Saints fans (not you) thinking the NFL is out to get them is over the top. NFL officiating is bad, has been for years. They need to fix it. There's no conspiracy though.
Frank D'Amico, "The Strong Arm of the Law" trying to curry favor with the general population. You can't win that suit. You might could get some small financial relief for season ticket holders, but you'd lose quadruple that taking the shit to court to begin with. But how dumb is it to think that they can line the teams back up at this point for that play? You would have needed an emergency federal court injunction Sunday afternoon right there on the spot, and that would never have happened. Fucking stupid.

The ages of Tom Brady's receivers when he won Super Bowl XXXVI against the Rams in 2002: Dwayne Allen: 11 Rex Burkhead: 11 James Develin: 13 Phillip Dorsett: 9 Julian Edelman: 15 Rob Gronkowski: 12 Chris Hogan 13 Sony Michel: 6 Cordarrelle Patterson: 10 James White: 10
Greg Williams and Sean Payton should've been banned for life
Lol. Payton and Loomis didn’t do shit. It was Williams. The NFL knocked us back then too when we were clearly one of the best teams. So they have contributed to fucking us over unlike anything else they’ve done to franchises accused of actual cheating and scandals. And then Sunday happened. I was trying to imagine what a super bowl win is even worth to a franchise and it’s fans. It’s got to be at least a half billion or so. You could never recoup that or the prestige and honor for your team. And it’s hard as shit to get there on the field - much less when the league is trying to make an example out of someone in order to show how much they care about head injuries. Except we probably beat Dallas if they call the one on Kamara late. We no doubt beat Los Angeles if the one is called on the helmet shot Lewis took (not to mention the one they didn’t call when Josh Hill got knocked out of the game early). So fuck the league and its bullshit.

The stuff evens out, man. Remember the god awful call in the Steelers Saints game? I'm not talking about the call on Haden (vs. Thomas) late in the game (that one I understand was close - I just hate having a 4th down decided by pass interference). The one on Haden vs. Kamara in the end zone where it looked like he barely touched him? That was also a 4th down. Scored a TD the next play. This cost the Steelers a playoff spot, and arguably gave the Saints home field for the game vs. the Rams (pending what NO would have done in Week 17, obviously they would have played it differently).
It's totally understandable for Saints fans to be upset, depressed, angry, etc. But to act like refs calls don't go both ways is just not correct.
I never said that calls don’t go both ways. We got more than our fair share of them this year which seemed like an anomaly. The Kamara call was bullshit. No one is going to argue that. Ref was out of position behind the play.
What I’m saying is we got fucked by shit out of our control which happens to be the second time we got knocked back by administration rather than on the field. And that sucks when everyone knows we have been a tough opponent over the last 14 years or so and have only the one Lombardi to show for it. Even in years we went 7-9 or so, no one circled us as an easy win on the schedule. Maybe we will get another crack at shit. And I know the nfl has some fine print that says whatever, you’re just fucked over for the super bowl. I’m not happy though and don’t think any saints fan should be.
1) a booth official or NY having the right to call down to the field for bad and blatant calls or non calls in the last few minutes of a half and order a flag to be thrown or picked up as the case may be.
2) Demotions or preferably firings for all officials involved in the fuck up.
3) a mechanism for some type of review on pass interference calls and non calls.
4) a non-bs apology with some type of financial incentive to the team in the form of compensatory picks or cash.
It’s 4 days out with still no statement by the NFL yet, which is wormy of them. I think a lot of people in New Orleans are going to boycott the game. There are some talks about concerts and parties at bars and shit that won’t play the game. I haven’t decided one way or the other what I plan to do. I want the Patriots to destroy the Rams and thought about stopping in Mississippi on my way home Saturday to place a money line bet on the Pats. Fuck you to Andrew Whitworth for saying it’s an excuse. He’s looking for legitimacy which he will never get 100% of should the rams win. We all have acknowledged multiple plays on both sides that weren’t called. But there is no other play that was that blatant (outside of the hit on Hill) or that caused one or the other team not to get to the Super Bowl. So Andrew, take your stupid talking point and shove it the fuck up your ass. Just because you went to LSU doesn’t give you the ability to shut us up. We won’t. This succinct take by Michael Hurley of CBS Boston argues that we have the right to complain on this forever. He’s fucking A 100% right. Now we might move on if the NFL actually did something or said something that mattered. Or if Dickhead Goodell resigned. That would work
im pretty sure at this point Goodell is going to be commish until he dies.
Doesn’t mean he’s not a piece of shit. You look at quality commissioners like Silver, Tagliabue and Stern and he doesn’t measure up. Fuck that asshole.
i know he sucks, but this call isn't as bad of a fuck up as the domestic violence, bounty/deflate gate, the anthem, concussions. he's going nowhere.
It was rated the fourth worst call of all time in sports in a recent article I read. The 1972 Olympic basketball game was one. I think the all Missouri World Series robbing the Cardinals was 3. That’s the magnitude. I’m not disregarding inaction or bad choices related to other issues. That’s not any good either. But fuck that guy. We are maybe the smallest market or second smallest in the NFL. But we routinely have the highest viewership per capita and often set records (nationally) in prime time games. They seriously need to do or say something to mend credibility and integrity.
Really? I was thinking buffalo but Green Bay is shocking
We are about 300k smaller than Jacksonville metro. We are maybe only 1.3MM. Green Bay is the smallest city, but they have most of Wisconsin and some of Minnesota. Buffalo has Toronto 2 hours away. We only have the coast, Mobile, Lafayette and Baton Rouge within 2 hours
