[QUOTE="GreenBlood, post: 422657, member: 1198"] Wow. You're really reaching to justify yourself, aren't you? You mean to tell me that "what part of that eludes you?" is now to be considered an insult? Seriously? Let me clarify it for you. It's NOT an insult. It's simply another way of asking someone "Why are you having trouble understanding this?" No.... no, I'm not. It was, without question, a fumble. The line judge ******** up and blowing his whistle doesn't change the fact that Brees definitely fumbled the ball. It means because of his screw-up they now have to pretend it was an incomplete pass, but it doesn't change reality. But here's the thing. While conferring, the crew probably didn't know for sure whether the whistle came before or after the Lions picked up the ball. So they had to make a call and since the referee clearly saw that it was a fumble, he most likely decided to err on the side of reality and give the ball to the Lions. No matter what they did, the line judge put them in a no-win situation. One team or the other was going to rightfully pissed off about the outcome. Merely responding in kind, my friend. Aw... now you've gone and done it. Now my feelings are hurt! :cry: How will I EVER be able to continue officiating high school football now that some dunderhead Saints fan thinks I don't have the temperament? And here I was thinking that the fairly high marks I've gotten from coaches and fellow officials over the last 6 years and being selected to officiate playoff games the last 2 years actually MEANT something. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
