Not wanting to drag this one back out of the can, but . . .

From cnn.com:
Quote:
Meanwhile, New Jersey Assemblyman Anthony Impreveduto wants the league to allow the state to host a Super Bowl by 2006 and called on the head of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, which runs Giants Stadium, to begin legal action against the NFL.

"New Jersey taxpayers may have been cheated of tax revenue the state would have earned from players' income and other Giants-related enterprises had the team advanced in the playoffs," Impreveduto said in his letter to George Zoffinger, the sports authority president.

Zoffinger said he could not comment until he speaks with Impreveduto.
Everyone's worst nightmare - the courts "correcting" a call or, worse, finding the official financially responsible (doubt this would ever hold up in a court of law, but you never know).

I remember Bob Levey (Washington Post columnist) responding to a parent who wanted video replays in a youth soccer league - 'What happens if the two dads taping the game have different angles and replays? US Appeals Courts will be forced to schedule Sunday hearings.'
