Motivation to keep the Saints out of the game? I don't know. Had he played for, say, the Yankees system I'd be less skeptical.

I don't know, man. I believe that this was an intentional no-call. I really do. At best they would have to be completely incompetent, as you said before, in which case, they don't belong officiating games.

But I don't think it matters where he played minor league ball. I'm a life long Braves fan and I had never heard of him until this debacle. I doubt many, if any, in Atlanta remember him either. He's not from there. So I don't see any way of looking at his brief affiliation with the Braves organization as motivation.

Either the league wanted desperately to get an L.A. team in the Super Bowl, after all the toes they stepped on to move those two teams there (which is what I lean toward), or the refs had some sort of Tim Donaghy situation going on, in my opinion.

Burn,

I don't want to believe this but damn, it could be true.

The NFL is not a sport. It's not football, as a game. It's entertainment, as a business.

I never wanted to think the games could be 'arranged', but unless this issue is addressed in the open I don't know how I could ever come back as an enthusiastic fan.

I will always love and follow the Saints, but with this cloud maybe a little bit, or a lot more, casually.

It wasn't just Cavaletto. There were other men on that field who also didn't see the most blatant PI any of us have ever seen. It doesn't pass the smell test.

Too many talking heads just blowing it off as if it were any other missed call. They're protecting their paychecks by protecting their sources by not pressing the league...because they too know that something with the end of that game just wasn't right.

Maybe the league was involved. Maybe it was just a SO CAL desire to prop up the rams - a task taken on by the 4 men who could have and certainly should have thrown a flag. Either way, it wasn't just a 'he missed it' situation. That much is obvious. Everyone...EVERYONE...who cares about professional football should speculate openly and brazenly until the league steps up, acknowledges it, and takes some action.

What no one mentioned is the Rams owner possibly being involved in this.

Look at this shady mofos history.

- Moved out of L.A. in 95 or 96? Put a team in the SB in 99 just 3 years later. Last SB they in they lost to the Pats.

- After that entire time in St Louis they never did anything else even as much as make the playoffs and hired morons like our old garbage in Haslett/Venturi, Jeff Fisher, and Linehan.

- Moves back to L.A., within 2 years in a SB.

Anyone seeing a trend here?

In fairness, that was a different owner in the 90's.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
