If he just didn’t like him, then Baker continues to be the immature little prick he was in college. But the fact that he can’t seem to let it go, and the stare down during the games, makes me feel something must’ve gone down between them. Just feels way too petty for it to be “I just didn’t like him.” If that makes any sense.

Could be but even Duke Johnson was getting in on it

Yeah, but I think most people at least liked Hue. Everybody that has so much as been in the same town as Todd Haley has said he's a gigantic asshole.  

[GhostMachine]

Other than punishing the referees, is there really anything they can do to fix it?

The only thing I can think of is maybe they make something that obvious reviewable? I don't know. I feel like that could open a whole can of worms, but they really boned New Orleans with that, so I'm sure they may just be trying to save face for the moment.

[Draevyn]

Fucking Kansas just won't die. I feel like I need to watch more football next year so that I understand the game better. I tend to tune in for the playoffs and that's about it, but I generally enjoy the hell out of it when I do.

The obvious thing to do would be to make plays like that an automatic booth (not field) review, and to fine the officiating staff their paychecks for the game. But it was such blatantly bad calling during that game that I wouldn't have a problem if the head referee ends up fired. There was another bad non-call on pass interference by the Rams earlier in the game, and I was surprised when they did call it on them during overtime.

The `fuck the Rams' thing was just me being heated, considering I was watching the game with a lifelong Saints fan sitting near me and I was mad seeing his team get robbed. But I'm still not going to pull for them in the Super Bowl, because they don't deserve to be in the game.  I may be sick to death of the Patriots, but if they make it I'd rather see them win than a team that had their ticket to the game punched by bad officials.

You want a flag on every play?  Because thats what will happen.  They won't just flag the "obvious" stuff, they'll flag everything just to be safe

Holy shit this replay is going to be close 

[Your Mom]

I don't think he touched it but I also think it's too close to change it

[Lint]

I don't see that getting overturned.  You just can't tell.

Thats what I think.   

[The Buscher]

What an absolute load of fucking horseshit.

This league is a joke.

[Draevyn]

I thought it was a good call. Not just because it was the team I was going for......and then they fuck it up anyway

[Lint]

Ok thats better

Fines is what some leagues do in situations like that. Their screwups determined the outcome, so why should they get paid for it? That and not letting them work the next postseason would be an appropriate punishment.

If you fuck up once at your job does your boss take your salary? Lint is right. If you're going to fine referees over one mistake, regardless of the circumstances, then you're going to have referees throwing flags on anything and everything just so they don't have to worry about losing their pay.
