no. That's still only 0.38 OPIs per game. And most of those were blatant. <20 of those were of the hand-check variety.

So, OPI is called in about 38 percent of all games. Yet somehow it's a tragedy that it got called once in the superbowl?
My guess is that tripping gets called in about 20 percent of all games. What's our rule for the superbowl? Can't call it?
Where's the cut-off in your mind? A call that gets made in .25 games, can that be called? How about kick off out of bounds. I bet that's very very rare. So what do we do in super bowls?

tripping doesn't happen in 90% of all passing plays. kick off out of bounds is a stupid comparison, so I won't bother with it.
I'm not saying calls shouldn't be made just because it's the Super Bowl. I'm saying that if a player is allowed to do something all season long, then it's wrong to suddenly flag him for it, and it's especially unfortunate during the Super Bowl.

Ok CarolinaRRRef, so if you don't call it all year long, it shouldn't be called in the super bowl...that sounds logical....along those same lines, if it is called all year long it should be called in the super bowl??? I would think that this sounds logical....
So with that in mind logic dictates we should use those same applications in discussions as well...so why is it ok for you to spout statistics about .38 calls "PER GAME" then when someone points out that tripping occurs in x% of games you suddenly change the reference to passing plays only....another example of your misguided argumentative skills sir...
