Mike,

Agree. Conspiracy theorists will also say:

1) One picture doesn't tell the story (WRONG)

2) One angle isn't enough, you need a lot of different angles to make the right call (WRONG. IF ONE VIEW IS CONCLUSIVE, WE'RE DONE)

3) The L should of made the call as he was closest (WRONG)

4) Officials were just trying to cover for their buddies in saying that this was a good call (WRONG)

5)Porter initially gave a holding signal and then an interference signal (SO WHAT, OBVIOUSLY HE TOLD THE R THAT HE HAD DPI)

6) The official took too long to make the call (insinuating that he was unsure or swayed by the fans/players) (WRONG-WE'VE ALL BEEN TAUGHT TO NEVER GUESS A FOUL AND TO GO SLOW THEN SLOWER - GOOD MECHANICS!)

There's been a lot of banter and baiting by a few disgruntled folks on another board that will not accept the fact that this was a tough, but great call. Thanks for the pic.
