After official review they ruled it a touchdown. Everyone with a tv could tell it was a clear interception. I cry foul on the NFL. That was too clear of a violation to be random. I am no conspiracy theorist, but that scene smells. You would think, after 3 weeks of officiating it would be slowly getting better. It is rapidly getting worse. Why? Someone has an agenda.

I'm not screwed into the ceiling over it as I could care less who won(I don't give a hoot about pro football, just enjoy watching), but that call was 2 times over retarded.

Well it was the spread buster (Packs -3) so who was on the line in the replay booth, Vegas bookies?!? Total disgrace (and for the record I hate Green Bay)

I nominate for Tool of the Year--Roger Goodell. He has got to go. (Along with the scab referees)

(And I realize it is just a game. But that is my leisure time that they are screwing with)

Are you saying Scab Refs. might be fixing games so they can 'cover' their own spreads?

They know they are not going to have a full time ref. job forever, so maybe they are trying to make as much money as possible now?

Kind of like some guys flying extra with pilots on furlough...

I know there's a tendency to "let them play a little more" and the end of a game, but if those jokers would've called the BLATANT push off of the defender by Golden Tate, there would be no controversy.

I've only seen tv network replays as I don't get cable, but couldn't Tate have fought for and grabbed the ball in the scrum? And do ties go to the receiver?

This happens all the time but it is still sufficiently toolish to be called out here. Yesterday around 1130 EDT in the mid-Atlantic area someone checked in on guard. A little toolish, but there are those who have and those who will. The bigger tools are the 14 other pilots that stepped on each other in a race to transmit "on guard!!!" in the 15 seconds following the guy's admitted mistake.

Goodell's employed by the owners...it's just like management...until revenue starts to drop they don't care.
