[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 191081, member: 195"] It's hard not to be suspicious after that NBA ref was caught taking money from gamblers. Sometimes I wonder about it with NFL refs too. But I don't know, a lot of it is that the rules are so complicated. I heard that under current rules there was good reason for that pass to the Colts player to be ruled incomplete, rather than a catch and a fumble. I don't understand it, but that's what somebody wrote. The tuck rule is another example of a rule that is just plain weird. (I've always liked what Mike Holmgren said about that rule: "If a hundred guys in a bar think it's a fumble, then it's a fumble.") And a lot of it is just opinion. I thought there was only one bad call in the Packer-Cowboy game: the Harris takeaway where Owens was ruled down before the strip. The holding call against the Ravens late against the Patriots looked like a pretty obvious one to me. And Rolle is wrong to say that you don't make a call like that in a game of that magnitude. The rules should be enforced consistently. When are refs supposed to stop calling penalties? After the two-minute warning? There needs to be a standard, and the best standard is to enforce the rules equally at all times. Then there was the uncalled force-out that supposedly cost the Browns the game in Arizona on Sunday. I only saw it once, and it looked like a borderline play. Could've gone either way. Sometimes that happens, and whichever side has the call go against them thinks it is being screwed. [/QUOTE]
