Even in my early days as a howler monkey (ahem), I could never buy into the "make-up call" bull. I mean, why would any official now piss off a second coach when one is already torqued?
What does amaze me is how the announcers perpetuate the same old story lines and how the fans believe it. I guess it's tough to come up with stuff that's original.
Make up calls? Please say it aint so folks!
