The higher the level, the cleaner the block it is, if that makes any sense.

So for this one, clean block.

Incorrect call. No foul plus L too far away. Anyway, should be closed down in which case credibility increases. Also, should have sold it better.

Selling doesn’t make the call any more or less correct.

I agree with the call. White #15 may have earned a "T" as well.

Violation by blue #33 on the second FT -- stop the tape at 0:49 -- her foot is on the lane space mark.

I disagree as at times it does. The calling official may have seen something not visible to us/replay. Right or wrong, it is difficult to argue with an official who sells something on a marginal-looking play. The official is telling the world "Hey, I got something for sure." and who are we to argue with that as spectators looking at a grainy video from afar. I was simply saying that if he indeed had something from that position, he should have sold it better.

Non sequitur. Selling it can make it less likely someone argues, but it can't make the actual call more correct. The call is the call. Selling it is, well, selling it so that others accept it. (I know I've sold an incorrect call more than once.)

Sometimes, though, the official is saying, "I kicked the crap out of that one so I'd better hope they are buying what I am selling."

And, sometimes just a matter-of-fact call can be the best sell -- as in, "That was so obvious I don't need to sell it."
