Ed did the same exact thing last year in Philadelphia. He said something like "we were chopping in the ready and the players thought we were stopping play." Unfortunately, this is Philadelphia and the fans usually don't appreciate a courtesy (some mentality huh). Any way, I agreed with that Ed did in that situation and thought it was an excellent explanation.
But really, it's the TV guys that set that mentality. I taped the game and watched it when I got home. I believe it was last year's Divisional playoff against Green Bay. Troy Aikman responded by saying something like "say what?...what was that all about???" I don't know how a Super Bowl QB didn't even understand that. Then he attempts to critize one of the best referees to put on a striped shirt. Go figure.
More on TV - Did anyone hear Collinsworth on Sunday (Packers v. Vikings?) It came up at our officials meeting. Chris and Troy were critizing the wings in that game saying that they "make up" spots. They had circled his UPFIELD foot on the telestrator (sp?) and were totally screwing their version of the explanation up. Annoying!!!
