Question about P.I.

[canuckrefguy]

Hey all,

Just a fan here - unlike legends like Rut, I only ref basketball (now, now, no snickering).

All I really know about football officials is that they get parodied a lot on beer commercials, so I am a complete neophyte when it comes to enforcing the rules in a football game.

That last play by Philadelphia appeared to involve some pass interference. Now before you call me fanboy, I'm a Raiders fan (oh shut up).

How, as the official, do you judge the contact on that play? I'm curious if it's in the same vein as how we as bball officials call fouls.

Troy Aikman seemed to think there "might" have been a penalty there. So is he the football version of Billy Packer, or did he have a point?

Thanks for the info!
