That's funny as crap, I felt the same way. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontes Inferno Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 The officials are terrible everywhere. We've been complaining about them in New Orleans forever. It was actually weird for me seeing the calls being made against y'all as a Saints fan. Especially the running into the kicker fiasco (that was ridiculous).:puke: Unfortunately, since I was, of course, cheering when those calls happened I really didn't get a chance to look at the bad calls. But when there are 23 penalties in one game on BOTH teams, there's something seriously wrong. Either there are way too many rookies on the field or the refs won't let the teams play a game of football. The taunting call needs to exit. We've all see film of Hall of Famers stepping on players intentionally and pushing men when they're down and if you tell me Brett Favre doesn't taunt, just don't go there. Emotion is one of the great things about this game and if you taunt a player by talking smack because you just made a big play, great! Now, if the taunting starts to get out of hand, then I can see the need. The game should be played in a sportsmanlike manner, but the game should also be allowed to be played with emotion.

Loose Cannon Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Funny how you forgot to mention: - The phantom holding call on Ken Irvin's would-be interception - Non-call on the first play of the game when about 6 Skins defenders dragged Deuce for 10 yards and threw him to the ground after the play was LONG over - The blatant holding all day by your defensive line The refs suck. Every team gets screwed. Quit crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not mine and I'll complain about those incompetent zebras as long as they continue to call atrocious games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
