Duds: The ketchup guy

That was my vote to.

That was my vote to.

I'll third that. That was very poor food management and much more is expected from those in the front rows.

I wonder if your bias or being a fan of the Packers has anything to do with your post.
If it was a Packer would you still be agreeing with the call?

Yes, I would. I'm pretty biased towards the officials because I've been one. I know the job. Then again, officials are human too and make mistakes. I just tend to give a lot more leeway to officials than average fans do.

The NFL said it was a mistake, so I'm going to say I was probably wrong on this one.

Fair enough.
Thank you for the response.

Just because you disagree with the NFL doesn't make you wrong. There are a LOT of penalties called where there wasn't intent to do wrong, but the officials still throw a flag and the player still gets fined.

If the NFL is going to back-down on a player pushing/shoving/touching an official because he "didn't really mean to do it" the officials may be less safe than they currently are. I too refereed multiple sports in my past and don't want to see any "gray area" opened-up because of this "mistake" by the officials.
