Re: Gayle Benson: NFL must commit to providing fairness and integrity

I wonder about her, her future. I know, like I really have time to worry about her.

All the best to Ms. Gayle.
That was a really great statement.

Behind the scenes, I bet the NFL Office is in total chaos trying to figure out what to do, how to handle his, and who to throw under the bus. I would sure like to be a fly on that wall.

I fully expect that the NFL will just ignore the issue and wait for the furor to die down. That has been their approach on nearly all issues. The only thing that will drive change is when the a major market team gets screwed out of a SB appearance.

We must not let it die. We must NOT LET IT DIE. They're not going to compensate, and they're sure as heck not going to replay the game, so we must make sure THIS DOES NOT GO AWAY. It wasn't just a missed call. There were two refs within 5 yards of the play. It was very clearly a deliberate decision NOT to call it. WE MUST NOT LET IT GO AWAY.

Coach McVay said it was a Bang-Bang play it's in their playbook and it's legal.
We have been playing with the wrong playbook all this time.

Well, in his playbook, he's correct, because, according to the refs, it was legal.
