Watch that play again in real time. It was clean defending despite what the low iq fans want to think.

Wat? The commissioner literally admitted the call was blown.

Seahawks not running the ball on the 1 yard line in the SB

Oklahoma Oregon onside kick
That might have been the worst call I have ever seen in the age of instant replay. They reviewed it and still gave the ball to Oregon despite the following:
1) Oregon clearly touched the ball first, prior to going 10 yards
2) Oklahoma clearly recovered the football
I can not emphasize how OBVIOUS it was that these two things happened. On the replay you can clearly see the ball rolling free under the pile and an Oklahoma player scooping it up on the back end and strutting around with it in his hand.
Somehow the refs gave the ball to Oregon without seeing who had the football.

It's gotta be this right?
I mean sometimes the refs blow a call or miss a play. It happens. But to watch one boxer pummel another for an entire fight and just say "f--k it, we're giving the gold medal to our guy and there's nothing you can do about it" is just brazenly offensive.

This was as bad as anything I've ever seen. They reviewed it for 5 minutes and they kept it as Oregon's ball even though Oregon touched it before it went 10 yards and Oklahoma recovered the kick anyways.

100% of the Rams fans admitted it was blatant PI and purposely ignored. You’re just trying to deliberately piss everyone off. Don’t be a dick.

Saints trading an entire draft and another first for Ricky Williams.

In addition to Bama over FSU this season, the numerous times the wrong team made the CFB national title game:
1993: Florida State over West Virginia
2000: Florida State over Washington
2001: Nebraska over Oregon
2003: Oklahoma over USC
2011: Alabama over Oklahoma State (biggest offender by far)
1996 Florida being given a second chance against FSU as well, but that was because the Rose Bowl wasn't part of the Bowl Alliance.

Wasn't botched, was stolen. Even the Korean fighter was embarraseed that he won, and tried lifting RJJ up afterwards.

This list could all be Olympic moments. And just boxing decisions alone.

Chris Webber calling time out.

ETA: turned the tide of that game. LSU would’ve been in the driver’s seat for the SEC-W which would’ve kept Alabama from winning their first national title under Saban that year. Who knows how the trajectory going forward would’ve been impacted without Saban winning a natty in year 3

not only was it PI, the Rams' player was fined by the NFL for helmet to helmet hit
