    That's how I saw it Devil. They didn't review it because they didn't want the Super Bowl to end with a ref under a hood. Pure PR, which backfired.

    If anyone says that it shouldn't be reviewed, no matter if it was a fumble or not, then I question their freaking sanity.

    It was a suggestion.

    The spike can be replaced with a one-step drop pass out of bounds.

    As someone said before, welcome to the 1999 Stanley Cup finals

    Ahh, I see. Thought you were implying that you were quoting the committee.

    There's no doubt in my mind that his arm was coming forward before the ball got jammed and loose. It's unacceptable not to review that, whether I'm right or not — and I thought there were some other iffy non-calls for holding along the lines.
     
  7. I don't know if you all have talked about this, but how great was that slo-mo shot of Fitzgerald saying "NO!" six or eight times after the Holmes catch? A classic moment.
     
  8. Compare the two fumble/incompletion calls on whether or not Warner's arm was moving forward. The one earlier in the game and the one at the end we're all arguing about. Looked to me like the refs blew both.

    But that's intentional grounding.

    Of course, so is a spike.

    Why did they not review it -- have we heard any explanations?

    I guess they could not land a helicopter on the field. [/threebricksshy]

    I watched Canadiens-Bruins online and then went out to the family SB get-together. No reason whatsoever for 29,458 hours of pregame shows.
