They should call it the astrick bowl with the astrick indicating that the Rams were there because of the NFL’s inability to:
1. Consistently define pass interference the whole year when they can deny a receiver’s catch because he didn’t put it away before hitting the ground even though the ball didn’t hit the ground.
2. Reluctance to use instant replay challenges on all calls.
3. Hire,train,test full time officials.
4. Avoid the appearance of inpropriety by assigning officials to games where they have no residential familiarity.
5. At least get their stories straight before giving BS excuses after the fact chalking it up to human error.
Full disclosure...I am not a Saints fan, just tired of being emotionally invested for four hours only to be robbed by blatant ineptness by the Goodell NFL.

Br> On the basis of at least the first four, ALL of the Super Bowls would be "Asterisk Bowls". Heck, it wasn't so lolng ago that they didn't use instant replay for ANYthing!

That wasn’t ineptness. It was intentional. I’m not for overturning the results of the game or replaying the last minute and a half. I do believe a criminal investigation is in order. Who did the refs bet on that day?
