LOL, did you just make that nonsense up, new guy?
Please, show us these "scary reports".
You sound like one of those assclowns who was calling in to 790 yesterday asking the fans that go to the games to all turn around and face away from the field and that everyone should stop buying NFL sponsored products and stop watching the NFLN and write a letter to Goodell complaining about the refs.
Not... gunna... happen. None of it.

oh I agree with the fact it's never called. ESPN did an analysis on it yesterday and it hasn't been called a single time in 86 (i think is what they said) hail mary plays in the last several years. My only reason for bringing it up is that is what the NFL statement said when they 'officially' reviewed the play and said they wouldn't overturn the call or the win, but clearly stated that the offensive PI call was missed.
actually though, it's useless arguing ANY point on it any longer, it is what it is and it's not going to be changed

If you ever are going to call one that would be it. Contact is one thing, that was damn near prison rape. Since this one was so visible you can bet on the next hail mary this will be tested. I fully expect the receivers to reenact a Hanson brothers scene from the movie Slap Shot.
As a side note, if you don't get the reference, go watch Slap Shot now, it will be worth it.

He didn't make it up. They were talking about it on ATH yesterday.

Per ESPN they should reach a deal soon.

He should have been suspended. It amazes me if that happens in MLB, NHL or NBA the coach and/or player is automatically ejected and suspended a minimal of 1 game. But in the NFL all they get is a slap on the wrist.

No kidding especially considering that Goodell made it clear that coaches were to leave the refs alone. Belichick has too much power.
