They used to say that about replay in the NFL.
Then they said it about replay in college football.
Did you watch the Orange Bowl? The replay usage was quick, correct and delayed the game by about three minutes for all of the calls. That was a terrific use of replay technology.
We get second guessed all of the time. If you are a parent or umpire you should be used to people trying to prove that you don't know a thing.
Replay will make it to the big leagues before this decade is out. It is entertainment - but very expensive entertainers are demanding pefection and all that money talks. Yes, the game will take a few minutes longer, but maybe we can put some veteran umpires in the booth to review certain plays like they do in college. If you value the correct call, this should not be a concern.
