REPLY: The incident with Chad Brown that Mike referenced included Jerry Markbreit (one of Mike's hometown boys) as the referee and the NY Giants as the offenders. Markbreit relates that he was watching the same action as Brown and swore that he didn't see the chop. But, as Mike said, after questioning Brown, he let Chad live or die with that call. It turns out that the chop did not come from the adjacent offensive lineman (where Markbreit was looking) but rather from one lineman removed. It was the TE chopping on the G's defender. Usually such a chop would come from the tackle. In fact, the tackle was obstructing Markbreit's view of the play so that he couldn't see the actual chop block that Brown had called. I heard this on a tape by Markbreit.
