Dollars to donuts the situation results in EXPANSION of the use of IR in the NFL!
The problem will always be in sports, sooner or later there will be a play where the system won't work in the best interest of the sport.

And then you have a week like this one where its the talk of the talk radio and ESPN. Then today another play will happen in college or pro (ie the BYW/Washington play last week) and it will all be forgotten.

Instant replay is helpful, its just not the panacea that everyone wants it to be.

That's why you play 4 quarters in football, 9/7/6 innings in baseball etc., simply put, one play does not determine the outcome of the game.

Thanks
