The NFL is being urged to fire the crew who officiated the NFC Championship game between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints over a blown call in the fourth quarter of the matchup.
A petition launched after the Rams defeated the Saints in overtime, 26-23, has asked the league to fire official Bill Vinovich and the rest of the officials who were in charge Sunday afternoon. The officials came under fire after missing a clear pass interference penalty late in the fourth quarter.

NFL football is to football what WWE wrassling is to wrestling.
Staged and designed to extract the maximum amount of money from the credulous audience.

“There is no point in even having refs if they are that bad.”
They’re not that bad, they’re that crooked. Every ref on that field saw it and held their flags intentionally.

I cannot argue with that.
That is exactly what it looked like, because that foul was as blatant as it could be.

This referee used to play for the Rams in 1981 and lives there now.

Ray Charles could have made that call from the top tier.....or, since he’s been dead for 14 years or so, from the voting booth.....

As a Vikings fan, I thoroughly enjoyed watching New Orleans lose on a non call.

Lets not forget the phantom pass interference call against Leber. That game was fixed.

If your whole game depends on one play (much less a call) then you don’t deserve to win. Isn't that how the Patriots won, too?
Don't all "sudden death" or "30 seconds left" wins depend on one play for the winner?

If your whole game depends on one play (much less a call) then you don’t deserve to win.By that logic, neither team deserves to win.
