What part of clearly an incomplete pass don’t you and Petronski understand?

For me, the part I don't understand the psychic break from reality afflicting one who claims an incomplete pass on a thread about the league clarifying that it was a fumble.

Well the MSM has clearly stated that Obama was elected with a “mandate” so I guess that means it is true!? Aren’t they the ones that get the last word?

But, I digress - at this point there is absolutely NO way the NFL would say that was a bad call. They have lost enough respect due to their officiating in the last two or three years. Can you even imagine the back lash that a “oops” of this magnitude would do to the league. What I am saying is even if it was OBVIOUSLY an incomplete pass, at this point they would have said, “No, it was a fumble.”

I watched the whole game and it was a great game. Had to be one of the top five in the history of the Super Bowl. But, I personally think it was an incomplete pass. I have a DVR and I rewound that picture twenty or thirty times and he looks to have lost the ball, but then re-grasped the ball and hurled it almost ten yards down field. The question is always, is it an empty hand moving forward - NO!

The part that gets me is that they didn’t even go under the hood. I think that would have cleared up or at least made up for 60-70% of the mistakes of the last two or three years - if they had made a effort to ensure it was the right call!
