re: Besides the cheating, what really bugs me about the PP call

In a situation where the on-field refs ADMITTEDLY didn't have a clear view of the play, the role of the replay booth should be to get the call CORRECT... i.e., toss out the field judgment, altogher, and make the ruling, itself.

Miles's statement that he was "satisfied" was not only chickenshit but stupid. WHY should he be satisfied with a process that delivered an obviously incorrect ruling?

I think you see a weakness in the replay system. The "clear error" standard works when there is a call with error. It seemed to me listening on the radio while driving that there was no call. The SEC should require the officials to make a call or empower the replay booth to make an original call. Field officials who do not want to make a call should be replaced. Their job is to call it like they see it. Technology can take care of errors.
