A thousand stars for you. A five minute review means there is not irrefutable video evidence, and they are desperately grasping for a reason to overturn the call on the field.

After the Jesse James play, and at least three other controversial TD calls this year that ALL benefitted the Pats, I am of the opinion that the NFL brass sat down with Alberto Riveron and told him it was getting too obvious and knock it off.

Jesse James caught the ball, brought it into his body. And took two steps as well.

Patriots lose on a horribly bad call? You’re obviously not familiar with the body of work of Al Riveron.

The Capitols might disagree with you.

Here’s my take on the officiating in the Pat’s-Jags game. NE, facing arguably the best defense in the AFC, in a Conference Championship game, played 60 minutes and was called for one (ONE) penalty. The JAGs for 58 minutes of the game were called for two penalties, except for in a two minute stretch starting with a…

Of course, “more than the sum of their parts” includes Al Riveron, too.

I have had it happen on several other sites as well.

The Immaculate Reception comes to mind.

The Saint’s punter was playing nose tackle.

Only if the opponent was the Patriots.

Reminder me of a WWE match where the bad guy misses the good guy and takes out his own tag-team partner.

The Jags player wrapped up Roethlisberger, spun him around and slammed him to the ground well after the ball was thrown, and no flag. Can you imagine if that was Brady? There would have been a 15 yard penalty, possibly an ejection, and having to give up his first born child.

Was Al Riveron the referee in that game by any chance?

So you had the Vikings -5.5?

Actually prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas (Clark County).

not sure replay would be involved here, since there was no “turnover” that would trigger an automatic review.

Quarterbacking the Trump Generals.

I see what you did there.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he resigns with the patriots.
