The zebras are becoming absurd!
I just watched a one hour sum-up show on ESPN. The two guys on there were ripping the refs for the Palumalo call. I never heard such disgust in these guys' voices. They said it was pitiful, they nearly said it looked like a fix it was so bad, but they backed off that. They knew that would not be cool with the league.
Anyhow, the "football move" thing must be cleared up.
Yesterday the league came out with a statement that the call "was a judgment call" by the official. And today everyone who has played pro football and is on these media shows says that "judgment" sucks.

By the way, how long was that delay taken to reverse that interception call ....... I think it was about seven or eight minutes in all.
I didn't see this posted:
NFL: Polamalu overturned interception the wrong call
Associated Press
NEW YORK -- The NFL said the referee made a mistake: Troy Polamalu caught the ball.
The league acknowledged Monday that referee Pete Morelli erred when he overturned on replay Polamalu's interception of a Peyton Manning pass Sunday in the playoff game between Pittsburgh and Indianapolis.
Mike Pereira, the league's vice president of officiating, said in a statement that Morelli should have upheld the call, made with 5:26 left in Pittsburgh's win over the Colts.
