it was initially ruled and interception, indy protested and won the reversal (making it incomplete), not the other way around.

I think the answer is what the NHL does..
Every gamenight the NHL, I guess, would be Head Officials in Toronto.. When they review a goal or play they get in touch with Toronto and make a executive decision.
It's not like NFL reviews are quick. Why can't the league be available for reviews on what a max 3 days a week..

Yea they take a few extra minutes but it's well worth it to not hear the next day "The Officials made a mistake on a review last night"

The reason I used the smilie is because everyone I know that watched the games said the officiating was fine, so I was in the minority in saying it wasn't fine. And I figured there would be some people on here that thought the same. (all though I was wrong)

BTW, in my rant of the Bears' loss, I forgot to mention how awesome the IND/PIT game was...I think it was one of the best games I've ever seen.
Back and forth...!
And for some, it may have been just too much back and forth...

The stress level and intensity when rooting was intense.. It was absolutley insane.. I couldn't take it.. I've never screamed at the TV so much..
I would've loved to watch it not as a strong supporter of the Steelers..

And I could've imagined if Big Ben did not make that desperation tackle that prevented a possible TD...Wow.
And THEN, I could've imagined what would've happened to the ref for his idiot call on Polamalu's interception...

that game was an instant classic.
i am very grateful for it, because ESPN has been giving 95% of its playoff coverage to that one game. That means I don't have to see what we Bears fans saw on Sunday.

Then I would have been pissed too since the refs played a huge part.

[QUOTE=gocubsgo55]what is it about Seattle that makes them hate LA so much? I myself cant stand LA, I'll say that. But is there a Northwest vs. Southwest rivalry thing? Just a curious Midwest native askin'..[/QUOT
No hatred here. The Dude was just trashing my hawks because he did not like our uniforms. Real good reason huh! Sounds like something my wife might say!
