What side of the internation date line are you on? I was about to ask you the score before calling my bookie ... : )
Don't ever trust those T.V. lines. I've seen them be as much as a yard off. From what I'm told, the system is calibrated and set from the line to gain stake that is placed on the side of the field that appears as the top of the your screen. The NFL flip-flops its crew at halftime, so the stake at the top of the screen would not have been the "official" line to gain stake if LJ was at the top of the screen. This will sometimes give an inaccurate line to gain image. So if the LJ came in from the top of the screen then this could have been the problem. I didn't see the game.
What part of the field did the ball end up? The LJ might have had a spot that was obviously not a first down and signalled the way he did. BUT the HL may have come in after the fact with a different spot that was closer and overruled the LJ after which the R or team reqeusted a measurement.
Either way, it doesn't sound like it was handled very well.
