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?

Of course you do. Defensive players trying to tackle a ball carrier contact blockers all the time, but that is the only time I have ever seen that called.

This one what? This year's Super Bowl? Just because you don't like it that I disagreed with certain calls doesn't mean they didn't kick them.

Knight was showing pure ignorance about a rule that he didn't even know. He also was talking about a basketball official's mechanic that had nothing to do with rules or judgment.

I'm not going to keep this up with you. You have your ways and no one is going to change your mind.

There was a little more to that call, but as stated before the NFL said that was a missed call and the call did not change the outcome. I can look at any football game and find a possibly missed call. And the fact that there is replay in the NFL, it happens from time to time.

I have no problem if you disagree with the calls, but at least educate yourself about the situation when you complain. As I said many of us have had our disagreements about calls, but most of us know what is expected of those officials or try to find out what is expected. You on the other hand have called the officials incompetent and did not even know what was expected or if the calls were appropriate. And in a couple of cases, the NFL backed the officials completely and said why. This Super Bowl was a perfect example of that based on your comments. This is why you are getting reamed for your comments here now.

And you did the exact same thing on the football board and you were showing your ignorance.

I do not expect to change what you think either. I am just pointing out that it is funny you are on Knight about his ignorance, but do not want to acknowledge your own ignorance in a sport you have about as much knowledge about in the officiating capacity. And I am clearly not the only one that has made that point today.

The thing is, you just didn't disagree with some calls. You went as far as to call football officials, as a whole, incompetent.
