Protecting it's integrity, increasing its competitive balance, increasing interest and the number of viewers are all geared toward making money. </blockquote>Sorry for bolding your statement ThxJack but I wanted to emphasize that. If you start to reverse a game's final score you've completely ruined the integrity of the game as it's played. If you have to wait a day or two or a week for a final ruling you've just destroyed that sudden death overtime or an interception that is ruled simultaneous catch. It's opening a can of worms that would devastate the game.Nobody could celebrate until the final ruling comes down from the NFL and that is why I think that Nick Perry received a fine for a poor call and why the league makes a stand on backing up calls once a game is decided. It IS entertainment whether you like it or not and the show must go on.It's why magicians don't like to reveal their tricks, it takes the drama out of them. Bad calls are part of the game, let's hope we see a few next week, you know it will even out.[/QUOTE]
