Every single official who's ever worked a game has had a gigantic blown call. My biggest blunder was an IW on a FG attempt. S*It happens. Unfortunately the only difference between my bad call and Ed's is that in today's world with Youtube, etc., these things make it around the world in seconds flat. If there's a lesson I can take away from this it is the lesson of staying far enough away to see the big picture. Some of my worst calls/non-calls came when I was too close to the action to get perspective. The one thing I console myself with is that 99.9% of the people who scream the loudest are the same ones who couldn't last 5 minutes doing what we do.
