John Mulaney

Thank you for calling in.

We do appreciate it.

Hey, no, thank you for calling into my show, Adam.

I mean, this is the way we do for each other, you know?

Well, when the Patriots lost to the Ravens on the Sunday night game, I found out the next day I had to call Rich's show because I'm the guy who does nothing but complain about the goalpost height.

And here we go again.

So that'll be my legacy.

Now the replacement refs are front and center because of this debacle with the Green Bay and Seattle.

Rich, can I ask you this?

I think there's something that a lot of people don't know about this story, which is the referee that goes under the hood is not a replacement referees.

Is that correct?

Well, the ref who goes under the hood on the field is the replacement referee, but the guy who's upstairs at the video official is not a replacement.

He's the regular video official, and he has sitting next to him during this entire situation somebody from the league office who helps with the administration of the game as well, who happened to be a guy named Phil Luckett last night, who NFL fans may remember as

was the lead official on Thanksgiving between the Lions and Steelers years ago, and the coin toss got messed up.

Oh, boy.

That's the guy who's now sort of like the zealot of the worst administrative errors in officiating NFL history.

Well, I can tell you right now, if this was South America and this was soccer, he would be killed.

Guys on motorcycles would pull up next to him in his Prius and just open up.

Well, so yes, this is something that on replay is reviewable if a catch ruled on the field of play outside of the end zone is not reviewable, but in the end zone it is.

And to me, I thought I saw undisputable evidence that it was an interception in the end zone.
