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.
