I didn't hear that.  But man, he has been such a Krunt Wurmer homer it's damn shameful for a person in his profession.  It's one thing to let us know who you're rooting for and another to let your bias affect your judgment.  He is a douche.

[msdmnr2002]

What celebration?  He made the catch, laid there, and his teammates came over and congratulated him.

Or was it the pretend talcum powder thing?  That was minimal.

Get over it.

Get over it.

that would be the one.  In Faulk's words..."HE USED THE BALL AS A PROP, SHOULD HAVE BEEN 15 YARDS AND BALL SPOTTED AT THE 15 FOR THE KICKOFF"

he was actually very emphatic and quite embarrassing at the same time

God, this game was such a nail-biter, couldn't go to sleep, then woke up and couldn't go BACK to sleep. So here I am.

 

Of course, screening a lot of the stories online, people are already bitching about the refs. Here we go again.

Santonio fuckin' Holmes!

Slang like a champion today!

I've only seen marshall faulk and Chris carter bitch and moan about some calls.  Eff them and their homerism towards warner and fitz.

At least one makeup for AZ...Ike's PF on the AZ sideline.  At worst, should have been off-setting.  Maybe nothing at all. 

I don't think the holding call on Hartwig was the best call, but I can see where the ref thought Hartwig was pulling his defender down with him.  Looked to me like they were both falling down. 

Harrison's PF...he must have thought the guy was going after his knees....maybe a battle that had happened earlier in the game?

Heh, no reason to bitch about the refs this time. Calls went both ways.

1. Ben was in. You can see the shadow under his knee on the replay. Should not have been overturned.
2. Warner's first fumble/incompletion could have gone either way.
3. The PF on Ike was bad. Especially since Hightower came out and took a shot at Ike, should have been offsetting at least.
4. Holding in the endzone? Are you kidding me? Sorry it wasn't blatant and you can't make that call there.
5. There was another very questionable hold, when Ben completed about a 25 yarder, the hold was on the other side of the field about 15 yards away.
6. The 25 times Harrison / Woodley were held.

I guess the last play should have gone to review, but it's obvious that was a fumble, so whatever. The other call people are bitching about was Santonio using the ball as a prop. I don't know if that's a penalty, looked like he was off the field when he did that. Our out of the ref's sight at least.
