Just make the right call. The ruling on the field should be totally irrelevant

Replay doesn’t always provide definitive proof though so you need some basis to fall back on

We know the call is wrong, but there is a .0001% chance it’s right, so let’s keep the wrong call! Fuck that. Just make the right call. The ruling on the field should be totally irrelevant

exactly. if a shitty call is made on the field, the onus is on the replay to have overwhelming evidence to the contrary. any replay should be a ‘first look’ at the play

I get that argument, but I just hate the replay system. Possibly my least favorite thing about the NFL is “the ruling on the field”.

The NBA is by far the worst officiated sport.

I have to go NFL

Also the two hardest sports to officiate…human beings are too big and fast now

The Smith foul isn’t even in the same category as the Howard foul.

Agreed. Where is the “Dwight Howard is a Douche Version 77.0″ post? Another filthy play by a filthy player. The Skill-less Wonder strikes again

Smith try to run close enough to Gorac to make him nervous and effect the shot, and he wound up brushing against him. That play happens in the NBA all of the time. Howard put a forearm into the neck and shoulder area to purposely knock Faried out of the air. Intent is the difference.

definitely a cheap play and he got a flagrant foul called. not sure it warranted being ejected unless TBL is a Knicks hater.

I was mainly meaning in contrast to Howard’s ejection for something far less flagrant. Not sure Smith’s warranted ejection either, but if Dwight was ejected for what he did, than this is a no-brainer.

The NBA is by far the worst officiated sport. Just no consistency or logic to what they do. A lot of calls are judgement which makes them tough, but still. On what planet is this not worse than Howard’s?

This. Adding another note on the previous post with Dwayne Wade. He is such a bitch. I liked him in college and when he first came into the league, but he is a nasty player and all around jackass. LeBron is the class act of that team. Very unselfish. Dwayne on the other hand, it’s all about him. Watched the game Christmas nite and I know he was responsible for at least 10 turnovers, lazy ball handling, drives to the hoop that were bad decisions. All the hate goes to LeBron but I think it’s wade that deserves it

They gave him a Flagrant One? Your issue is the fact that they didn’t give him a Flagrant Two? Yeah, I probably agree he should’ve been tossed, but it wasn’t like they only called a personal foul on JR Smith.

Perhaps if Smith had salsa danced underneath Dragic people would be talking about it.

Cousin Ronald, you must embrace the Knicks.
