But when it comes to rasslin, it's obviously Joe Joe Dillon screwing over Chris Jericho.

Pete Carroll’s decision to not run Marshawn at the goal line in the SB

give 1 good reason why the 2023 ACC is better than the 2017 AAC.
The overall level of play in the 2023 was much higher than that of the 2017 AAC.
I went to College Football News which ranks all FBS teams 1-133. They ranked 9 ACC teams in the top 50 this season.

Couldn’t find CFN’s but found Athlons for 2017. They had only three AAC teams in their top 50

For what it’s worth, I think that UCF was more deserving than Alabama of getting in the College Football Playoff. The fact is that Auburn was clearly more deserving than Alabama - and no one ever argues Auburn should have been in.
UCF was named #1 in the Final Colley Matrix poll, which is a recognized selection body. Their claim is as legit, if not more, than Alabama’s claim in 1941 where Houlgate awarded them for finishing 9-2 and 18th in the AP Poll. FWIW, that’s one of the “18” that the University of Alabama touts.

June 2, 2010, umpire Jim Joyce made an incorrect call at first base, which cost Armando Galarraga a perfect game. Joyce tearfully spoke with the media following the game and admitted he made a mistake: "I just cost the kid a perfect game," Joyce said.

I’m not saying the ball touched either player. I’m saying the ball was beyond them in the play based off of angles. It clearly never touched anyone.

So LSU would have gotten the ball back down 6 with a chance to win. They may not have but to act like this wouldn't have mattered is very homer of you

Olympics were the biggest intersection of politics and sports...
So many screwjobs out there...countries thinking respect was through sport...UA syndrome.
President of FIBA or some knucklehead was hell bent on ending the US domination of the sport and ran down from the stands for the third time to put more time on the clock and get another do-over.
But is it the worst in Olympic history? Game was close.
What wasn't close was Roy Jones Jr. whipping a Korean in Seoul and the judges giving the Korean the victory. That ended the Olympics for me.

only the covering official had a view of the play all of the other officials were on their keys(especially the white hat whose only key at that point is the QB) look at the bills of their caps all are pointed at their keys.
There are posted on this website still pictures of three officials looking right at the play.
One official begins to throw a flag and the second official waves him off and says, “bang bang.”
Vinovich was caught lying when photographic evidence shows him looking at the play.
Two refs were looking at the play relatively close to the play from two angles.

He should’ve gotten ejected for stopping on the Kentucky player, it would’ve changed tournament history forever.

To me, a "botched decision" would be a bad business move, like the Falcons hiring Bobby Petrino, or the Cowboys going from Jimmy Johnson to Barry Switzer.
