Complaining in Real Time

Okay, so I'm at Amr's wathcing the beloved NFL Sunday Ticket, where we get to flip between every single game... alllllll afternoon!

But anyway, as I've stolen his laptop that we're using to keep tabs on the games we're not watching, I'll keep this brief....

There was just a play in Rams-Lions, where the Rams receiver got a pas, but lost control of it almost immediately as he crossed the goal line. the ruing on the field was a fumble, and the Rams "challenged" it (basically, they use instant replay to determine what actually happened). The announcers all agree that it's either a touchdown, or a fumble. After watching the play exactly once, Amr and I agreed that it was an incomplete pass... easy call.

Play was overturned. Incomplete.

The announcers were flabbergasted... they had never considered that option, and started arguing that the refs blew the cal, even while showing the replay where the receiver never had control of the ball again and again.

Now, why are two guys sitting on a couch in Toronto able to break down a play better than supposed "paid professionals"?!??

Makes me mad.........
