So weird, Woke up this morning and first thing I hear is radio person saying saints got robbed and how terrible she felt for the Saints. Turned on TV and local channel in DFW area was talking about saints being robbed. Flipped it to ESPN, and the first thing being talked about was the Saints being robbed. It was so obvious, I just don’t get how this could happen.

Surprisingly every show on ESPN has been hammering the refs and NFL. As for NFL Network i haven't seen it mentioned once.

Local Nola station (Fox8) was doing everything they could to water it down, e.g., “which some are saying was based on a possible questionable call...”

Good morning football mentioned it and they were all pretty strong in the corner of it was highway robbery.

There's a great line from the movie Hotel Rwanda (and possibly true but I don't know how closely the script tracked real life events):

[In reference to the genocide being broadcast on U.S. television.]

"People are going to look up from eating their dinners and say, 'my God, that's horrible,' and then go right back to eating their dinners."

90% of people know it was a terrible no-call. But the rest of the NFL fanbase/media is not going to care when the next big story comes up.

Yeah forgot to mention went to nfl network next and the guy there was saying saints blew the game, couldn’t stop the rams blah blah blah. Then they went on all giddy about how they couldn’t wait for the super bowl and how great it was going to be. Seems like nfl network is told what to do by the nfl as everybody else was saying saints were robbed.

NFL Network said they are about to cover it after commercial break.

And in 3 days, nobody outside of south Louisiana will even remember it happened.

I've been kind of surprised at how united the saints got fricked front is, I fully expected most to take the "refs didn't cost them the game, they should have gotten the stop in regulation etc etc"

Oddly enough, that's the third win for the league: 1) LA in the SB 2) frick over Payton for Bountygate 3) Tons of free publicity! These asshats are laughing all the way to the bank!

I watched nfl live on my lunch break to see if we as a fan base are just being paranoid. Nope. Every single analyst said we got robbed. It actually makes it so much worse that they all agree. It’s unreal. I feel like this is the biggest fricking joke the nfl is playing on everyone.

I’m wondering what time will the NO FLAG LEAGUE (NFL) Super Bowl between the NE Patriots & the NFL REFS start?.... not that I’m interested in watching it...

I’ve never experienced anything like this before. I’ve always heard about blown calls in other games but never one of this magnitude to the team that I support. It’s unexplainable how I have felt since we lost. Honestly it’s the lowest and most depressed I’ve ever felt in my life even though it’s just a game. Like someone grabbed my heart and ripped it out of my chest

Ate lunch at a local restaurant with my daughter -- all of the tvs were on sports channels and kept showing replay of "the no call". From what I could read using the closed caption feature (was too loud to hear) no one was too happy with it.
