It wasn't a simultaneous catch, but
Somehow, some ways, you know, when two or three people go in and make a decision that some group think might spit it out in a different direction, and I have no idea how they've decided to just keep the play standing as called.
Yeah, this is how somebody decided.
This is what happened with Nicole Richie.
Somebody decided she was hot a long time ago, and we haven't been able to dispute that call.
I have.
I've seen the tape.
So this ultimately, even though the refs screwed it up on the field, the replacement refs, this was not a replacement ref that was up in the booth.
And this was a guy from the league who made this horrific call.
Is that correct?
Well, I guess when you put it all together, the final decision rests with the official on the field, and that's the way the competition committee and the NFL wants it because that's the way the coaches have wanted it.
Well, so what's the guy up in the booth doing?
He sort of lends them some thoughts and tells them, this is what I think is going on, and
He's not the ultimate arbiter, he's just a piece of the puzzle that eventually the final decision-maker
is the ref on the field.
But ultimately, if you're the ref on the field, and six weeks ago you were reffing a girls' soccer game, and now you're down on the field.
Now you're down on the field, and the voice has come down from the booth that said, that was an interception.
That was not a catch.
You're not going against that voice, are you?
Well, you don't know.
