Who was the guy who called that phantom TD for Bergerboy in Super Bowl XL?
-
I have to go with the Daniel vs Goliath battle where the ref clearly missed the illegal use of weapons in the sling shot.
Goliath was robbed! -

LOL. As one who was not there, I defer to your knowledge KM. :)

Addtionally, the 'Pittsburgh Ref' is also the Saints Ref from the previous season (the phantom Sharper TD to end the half).

sure the roman ref killed a man, but I and every other Dolfan died inside when Gene Steratore blew that pittsburgh call.

I am pretty sure no ref has caused the death of a Dolphins player.

Marinucci was the only one common to both games along with Back Judge Dino Paganelli. The Referee in the 2009 Saints game was John Parry. -

Luckett.. worst... he was demoted the following season.. i mean how many refs are subsequently demoted to a back judge or whatever. And he has since screwed up many downfield calls. They don't know what to do with him. They'd make him one of those officials that holds a new ball on the sidelines, only he'd lose his balls.
The one that "came up with" the tuck rule for the Pats has to be up there. I don't care if he was proven right afterwards.Puka-head likes this. -

Most fans don't know what to look for. Most fans dont know what a foul is at the pro level. Fans don't know how the league instucts the officials to officiate the games.
A foul in a little league is not the same foul in the NFL. Every fan has their opinion, but hardly is it ever right.
This. I didn't have to post it, thank you. Joyce is a player favorite...especially after how he handled the perfect game situation a few years ago with that Detroit pitcher. Armando Galaraga (sp). Guy was seen crying. Handled that whole situation with class.
Now for that Pittsburgh ref who effed the Dolphins...ohh no word from him. NFL refs don't have to answer if they make the wrong call. They hide.
You, with your absolutes...your wrong. Officiating does play a key role in all sports. There is good, and there is bad officiating. They aren't robots. Whether you want to admit it or not. Most of us regulars here know a lot about the rules in the NFL. We know more than "****" about officiating. If you want to sit there with your rosy shades and think every call is 100% prefect then you do that. Jordan had refs in his back pocket, Tom Brady can complain for 8 seconds after a play and then get a flag all of a sudden, The Pitt-Dolphin game last year...wasn't called correctly. If an umpire blows a call at home plate to decide the outcome of a baseball game...you'll always defend the official... OK. There are ton's of examples where umpires or refs have royally screwed up. Hard to defend those officials. Which is why I have a ton of respect for MLB ump Joyce. Guy man'd up with class. Even cried, could tell the man cared. I got a ton of respect for that kind of stuff. But not for the NFL refs who make critical game-changing calls, and then go hide, and don't have to answer to critics afterwards. Sorry
