The NFL-WWE got their Wish (vanity)

Everyone knew the NFL was going to make America's Team pay for winning against Detroit last week. The NFL and the Liberal Media both loathe the Dallas Cowboys. EVERY bad call went against Dallas today, including that abortion of an overrule when Dez Bryant caught that ball, fumbled it into the end zone, and recovered it for a Touchdown.

The rest of the NFL season is just Kabuki.

Last week, the refs decided they didn’t want to decide the game. This week, instant replay did.

I agree. The NFL's death panel ruled today. Get used to it folks...it"s gonna come at us everywhere it seems.

I am one Lions fan who was incredibly happy to see Dallas get screwed on a big call at an important time. And it was delicious irony to see it happen because of the Calvin Johnson rule; which was another obviously bad call that fixed a game against the Lions, there’ve been so many through out the years, but I digress. This was the only time I have ever rooted for the Cheese-Heads, and will likely be the last time I root for them. Either way Dallas and scumbag Jerry Jones and his bag-man son deserve every call that goes against them from now through eternity.

I do agree though, the NFL is as bad as the NBA when it comes to fixing games and both of them are just as fixed as pro-wrestling.

It is for a Democrat.

And worth 5 X 6 points. For the effort, you know.

They played in the two toughest home field advantages this year

And one of the easiest against the Lions and barely won when a BLATANT PASS INTERFERENCE call was over ruled...........It's tough to win on the road (Lions) when the refs are obviously against you (Isn't that one of the arguments in today's loss?)

Instead of crying about today's loss you should be thankful for the extra game...............

I learned to hate the Cowgirls when they started to call themselves “America’s Team”. No girls, I’m an American and you’re definitely not my team.

Not up to us. We are trying to fight, but the fedgov under Obama and Holder block us at every turn.

But at least we are trying to fight. What is your state doing to help?

Nope, he was not “falling” to the ground BEFORE the FACT.

Yes, I am a Cowboys fan (not a Jerry Jones fan)and I was disappointed they lost. All I want now is for one of the teams left to stomp the smirking Patriots. On any given game day my favorite team is the one playing the Patriots, even the Ravens!

What he was doing, the NFL considers to be all “in the act”. You can quibble with the language, but they are consistent in their interpretation.

That’s why the call should never have been reversed to fascio-commie call, as the game was interesting up till that point.

Ice-Bowl #2 would have been a fascinating ending.

Hey Tobasco,
It wasn’t just that one call against the Lions last week it was also the 5 missed holding calls during Dallas’s final drive including two on the TD pass. But anyway today was sweet Karma against the scumbag Cowgirlyboys.

I would also lay 3-1 odds that the favorite movie of all these whining cowgirlyboys fans is “Brokeback Mountain”.

I enjoy football and don’t know all the technical rules. However, with this discussion and others like it, I get the impression that replay review does not solve the problems of questionable calls by officials. It seems to add another questionable call when the replay referee overrules the referee on the field.

Nope, the argument is the term “FACT.”
regardless of the cover language that’s coming out now.

Same old cover vs. the natural athletic act.

There seems to be an illogical belief among almost all football fans that a set of written rules can cover every single chance event that occurs in the course of a football game.

There will always be ambiguities that cannot be resolved definitively - if the rules covered all possible situations unambiguously, the rulebook would be an infinitely large volume.
