Illegal Forward Pass Ruling in SD-PIT Game

[TussAgee11]

Whoa Pete, that made me bad. No offense, but I don't think I'd like to work with you if that's how you roll.

According to your logic, you'd think I was taking a bribe from a coach because he was rich, and his team struck out 15 batters while the other one struck out just 1. And, when there was a close play at the plate, I had his runner safe. And when we had **** hit the fan on a wierd play, and we kicked it, it went for his team.

Sometimes, these things just happen.

I, frankly, am not going to throw that crew under the bus. I don't do football, but I consider them my brother official.

As for Donaghy, that punk can rot in jail as far as I'm concerned, a true disgrace to the profession.

And frankly, so are you right now Pete - with absolutely no substantiated evidence you've tried to implicate a brother official. I'm not okay with that. At all.

Sorry to be harsh, I'm not trying to be Internet tough guy here. Its just an extremely strong position.

Football guys, sorry this now general officiating conversation has spilled onto your side of things. I like lurking over here... even though half the time I have NO idea what you're talking about

Tuss you are using the wrong logic.

Suppose you saw a Fellow Official calling pitches balls that were "right down Broadway" time after time for ONE team then had a different strike zone altogether for another.

It has happened and in our kneck of the woods these types of umpires were labeled "homers"

I, frankly, am not going to throw that crew under the bus. I don't do football, but I consider them my brother official.

No ones's throwing anyone "under the bus" but pointing out facts that even the NFL has not explained. I was merely pointing out that in lite of Donaghy the idea of corruption exists.

Again I am NOT implicating anyone but presenting "another side" of events. If it happened in the NBA why not football where there is millions of dollars bet.

Sorry I hit a nerve but if a major league baseball umpire called pitches right down Broadway Balls for one team and a completely different zone for the other the same analogy would be drawn.

So far the only example of a call which was wrong which you have cited was "The pass interference call on the Steelers in the first / second quarter was simply a joke"

Answer this question off the top of your head right now....what constitutes pass interference in the NFL?

I doubt you know what you are talking about when it comes to NFL rules and how they are enforced on the field. You're no different than some whining fanboy complaining about all the bad calls in the game last weekend.

LDUB, we're wasting our time. I'm sorry I even bothered responding.
