Wish I could say I was kidding. He defended the two refs on the field who made the call. Said he understood that they could not see if PP made the catch with a foot in bounds.

Said he talked with Slive and the head of officials. Didn't say what they talked about. Didn't offer an opinion if he thought the call was right or wrong.

I think you turned it off too soon. He did say that the officials on the field could not see the call because of bodies in the way. However he also added the league told him the replay guy is there to defend the call on the field and he said "I can't tell you what he was looking at". Just because he does it with class doesn't mean he isn't standing up for his team.

Probably to voice his displeasure behind closed doors. Thus, he avoids the fine and possible suspension. Once again, we have no idea what he told his team.

Yes, the call was bullshite. Yes, I agree the SEC officials need to have some serious upgrades. But he makes a good point that we\'re still down in the game. Hell, even in my 6th grade basketball games I\'ll rail an official for my boys but I\'ll also tell them the officials didn\'t play poor offense, defense, etc.
