I think we do say that.

And I think there is an excuse for it.

They're human.

This is a tough gig. There's no one on Earth who feels worse when an official kicks a call than the official him (or her) self. Not a college president, not a fan, not a player.

It happens. We all wish it didn't. But it does.
