I am still puzzled by their cries of "all the late hits on Favre."
The Saints were called for ONE roughing the passer (and Buck and Aikman disagreed on that one) when Hargrove supposedly "picked up Favre and drove him into the ground." (Funny, the Vikings did the SAME thing to Brees on the last drive - no call.)
Could they have called a penalty on McCray's low hit? Yes.
But ALL the other supposed "late hits" on Favre were never called. Because they were legal hits.
It is legal to hit the QB at or right after the ball is released. Evidently Vikings fans have selective memory - that's just what they did to Romo the week before!
Their other cry was the "uncatchable" pass interference on Thomas. Never mind that:
(1) Thomas' jersey was held during the route.
(2) The Vikings LB in advertently stepped on Thomas foot, causing him to trip and fall.
(3) The Vikings LB NEVER TURNED HIS HEAD OR BODY AROUND to look for the ball.
Mike Pereira, just retired NFL Head of Officials, made all three of those points during his commentary of the NFL Network's replay of the NFCCG.
Minnesoder Idiots.
Exactly how is should be described. If only I could explain it like that...
