After hearing about the full extent of the contact, I agree with the officials totally. I was in no way trying to say that they blew the call.

I didn't mean to start a pissing match on this but the recently departed Mr Annoying Grammar/Spelling/Useless Trivia Guy would have been the first to note that while you insist on using the word 'should' the wording of the major concern uses the word 'shall'.

As I say I didn't see the play so I have no opinion, I'm just putting this new bit of information out there. How you misinterpret it is up to you :shrug:

Me either. Just trying to justify my initial disagreement with the flagrant call (and later capitulation to the masses).

In a case like that, you have to ask yourself was the contact warranted to send a player out of the game as well as him being suspended for a couple of games too. I know what the rules state, but I am guessing that the judgement of the officials was that it didnt warrant a toss. Just my two cents!!!

Just giving you affirmation.

Plus there might be a fanboy or two who doesn't respect our opinions but live and die by what the announcers say.
