To me, the interesting thing is that officials will be allowed to review a call that is strictly a judgment call. Other reviews allow you to look at "facts" in a play -- where the foot was, the time showing on the game clock, etc. For the first time, officials will review their own judgment calls. Ok, you called a Flagrant 2, now go look at it and make sure you still like the call.
