And by the way, this isn’t really an opinion. Fact is, picking up the flag once the sticks had been moved and the call had been made was a bad decision. It isn’t even debatable.

You could say that they never should have thrown the flag and that would be fine. You could say that they should have conferred before moving the sticks and picked it up before making the call and that would have been fine. But what happened on the field was one of the single worst officiating blunders of all time, and it greatly changed the complexion of the game. Where it ranks on the list of all time goofs is really the only debate. [/quote]

Or the Ben dive into the end-zone that he didnt really get in. [/quote]

The pushoff and the offsides that got called holding that negated the big play were two big ones, but the illegal block on Hassellbeck when he was trying to make the tackle was the worst, most WTF moment of the game and probably one of my top 10 stupid calls.

I am not a fan of either team but Doogie and I were in a bar in Corpus and needless to say there was a lot of yelling.

Just gonna leave this here.

EDIT: Would have posted it sooner but I found it posted on thechive and they had underboob, side boob, things that bounce, Dark hair-light eyes, burn your bra and why get out of bed galleries today so I got a little sidetracked.

Gross team sales was brought up some years ago to give other teams and fans a chance to say the Cowboys aren’t America’s Team. The Cowboys are America’s team because Tex Schram and Tom Landry made them America’s team. They are America’s team because there are more fans of the Dallas Cowboys than any other team. If you say you don’t like them, I challenge you to really think about it and you will find that you have been lying to yourself this whole time and that you are really a fan.
[/quote]
Who are you referring to? [/quote]
Not you.
Anyone who says they are not a fan of the Cowboys
[/quote]

So everyone is a closeted Cowboys fan?? Really???

And by the way, they are “Americas Team” because Bob Ryan called them that in a highlight film in the 70’s and the name stuck. Don’t make it more grandiose than it really is dude. [/quote]
lol this could get interesting. JB you sure you want to tussle with the “one” true Dallas fan, MBdix? [/quote]

I know I am not the “one” true Cowboys fan, I have many friends that are true fans and we have disagreed on views of the team before. But, I am a true fan.

547

Tex Schramm was the mind behind building the Cowboys as America’s Team. He hired Ton Landry, arguably one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. Landry built the team into a constant contender. The winningest NFL team in the 70’s, 5 Superbowl appearances. Schramm volunteered the Cowboys to be the second NFL game on Thanksgiving, giving them more national exposure. NM, AZ, OK, KS, NE, SD, ND, MT, IA, AR, TN, UT, WY are just some of the states that didn’t have a NFL team in the 60’s and 70’s but those states had a majority of their population become Cowboys fans for one reason or another. AZ still has a HUGE Cowboys fan base. It is my opinion that a lot of those states became Cowboys territory because they were winning a lot (Landry) and playing on Thanksgiving (Schramm).

So you can have the opinion that they are Americas team because someone called them that on a highlight reel, but I say they are Americas team because Schramm and Landry built them into Americas team.

Most of those are still not as bad as this one. The tuck rule, stupid rule, not bad call so definitely not. The replacement ref thing, I will say its close but not quite, because the call on the field was understandable that they would have gotten that one wrong increasing the burden of proof on the replay ref, but still should have been over turned. Snow plow incident was not really the refs doing, although unfair. And the no call on Deion, is just Cowboy fan bitching and isn’t even on the radar of the top 100.

The Browns-Jaguars illegal replay beats it out though where they went back an extra play to reverse a call and Superbowl XL as a whole just because its the Superbowl. But this is really high up there.

The refs should have stopped him from doing it. And if he wouldn’t stop they should have flagged the Pats.

But, thanks for clearing that up for me

It’s either this call or the jacked up Pitt coin flip.[/quote]

Superbowl XL was the worst.

Or the Ben dive into the end-zone that he didnt really get in. [/quote]

The pushoff and the offsides that got called holding that negated the big play were two big ones, but the illegal block on Hassellbeck when he was trying to make the tackle was the worst, most WTF moment of the game and probably one of my top 10 stupid calls.

Or the Seattle vs Green Bay replacement ref thing that happened.
[/quote]

Or the tuck rule[/quote]

Or the “immaculate reception”[/quote]

Or the fucking time they let some ex-con on a zamboni come onto the field and clear an area for the Pats kicker.
[/quote]

Or the non-pass interference Deon had on Irving in the 94 NFC championship game to keep us from getting 3 in a row. Deon mugged Irving on that play[/quote]

Most of those are still not as bad as this one. The tuck rule, stupid rule, not bad call so definitely not. The replacement ref thing, I will say its close but not quite, because the call on the field was understandable that they would have gotten that one wrong increasing the burden of proof on the replay ref, but still should have been over turned. Snow plow incident was not really the refs doing, although unfair. And the no call on Deion, is just Cowboy fan bitching and isn’t even on the radar of the top 100.

The Browns-Jaguars illegal replay beats it out though where they went back an extra play to reverse a call and Superbowl XL as a whole just because its the Superbowl. But this is really high up there.

The refs should have stopped him from doing it. And if he wouldn’t stop they should have flagged the Pats. [/quote]

Was no rule explicitly forbidding it until after the game. Nothing the refs could do.

There are bad calls or missed calls all the time in every game. That wasn’t the deciding play in the game. Several key plays after that play. I could give a shit about that play. I think they made the right decision in picking up the flag, should have explained. The Cowboys weren’t given the game. They kept fighting, came back and won that game. Goodbye Detroit, next up Green Bay

And by the way, this isn’t really an opinion. Fact is, picking up the flag once the sticks had been moved and the call had been made was a bad decision. It isn’t even debatable.

You could say that they never should have thrown the flag and that would be fine. You could say that they should have conferred before moving the sticks and picked it up before making the call and that would have been fine.

There was not a rule stating that a snow plow can’t clear a spot for a place kicker. There still isn’t that rule. They were supposed to clear the yard markers only.
