Except they made the wrong call. The rule says a player blocked into the ball shall have the touch disregarded. So once again, replay takes a call made correctly on the field and overturns it.

Remember your Deadspin technology takes.
Gabe’s take on this is so bad it feels like he had money on the game.
Complaining that the cameras caught it? Seriously? Are we upset when the cameras catch whether they drag their feet for a catch, or whether a fumble occurs before being down? Darn technology
Bonus points for playing the “committed father “card too! ‘Cause that’s relevant somehow?
This is more embarrassing than my unintentional smear campaign against Sports Illustrated when Kathy Ireland was on the cover.
I thought Buddy Hield sucked?
How can they keep getting it wrong? It seems like a pretty black & white issue.
I just made a comment about the same situation...when that was going on with Webber, I think it was Mark Purdy who wrote that Sacramento is a great place for a young, single, multi-millionaire, African American man to get a really good night’s sleep.
Mild take: behind-the-scenes videos like the one with Hield, Divac, and a ROFL cameo from Marvin Bagley III show why the NBA’s popularity has risen lately. They look like they’re having fun—and, more importantly, like they know they’re playing a game.

Yet the drunk rednecks over in NASCAR manage to get this one right pretty much every time.
Exactly!
Looks like Peterson finally learned not to go for the switch.
You can punch harder with an MMA glove than with a boxing glove. They’ve done studies and there is proof, but before I address your lack of knowledge of boxing, please tell me how you think a kick or knee from a professional fighter is not more devastating than a punch? Go ahead, let’s hear it.
Again, I cannot emphasize enough how little I think of GWB.
This is likely the biggest mistake I’ve ever made on Kinja, but god help me, here I go.
He also had troubled with the background screening, given Chubby’s Checkered past.
I was thinking the same thing. If someone can wail on someone that’s pinned down until the ref stops the hitting, and then win that fight... how is this disqualifying? I mean if he gave the guy an uppercut instead he’d probably not have been disqualified even if the hits were going to result in the same damage to the…
I don’t know much about UFC, but I know it’s a common thing for one guy to be straddling the other guy while pounding him in the face. Why is this considered striking a vulnerable opponent but that is not? Crowder didn’t look all that vulnerable (but again, I’m pretty ignorant here and the clip doesn’t show much…
