You have not even been here a year, you have no idea what I talk about or do not talk about in relationship to anything on the football field. And you are not a football official if I remember correctly. There are philosophies that you clearly do not understand and when explained to you, you had nothing better than to rip the officials for missing the calls. We discuss all kinds of calls all the time, but we have more to say that "that was a horrible call."

How many NFL Training tapes have you personally seen? Well I have seen them. We have an NFL Super Bowl Umpire in my association. It is not unusual for him or the 2 other NFL officials to bring tapes of calls directly from the NFL to show things that need to be called or that have been called. Yes, that holding was very consistent with other calls. And if we look at just this Super Bowl, you thought a "take down" was not the right call if I remember correctly.

If I remember correctly this has been called before and the contact was not because he made only contact with the runner. I believe he made contact with a blocker, which you see from time to time. Here is the thing; you were not there during those discussions. You have no idea what was talked about. Do not go back to a play that happened almost 4 Super Bowls ago, what about this one. And this one you were way off base and made claims you knew nothing about. So why is Knight so wrong, but you are so right?
