Consider that everyone who saw the Saints game was yelling at their TV about pass interference. In the UVA game, people were like, oh, wow, I didn't even notice that. So how can something be so egregious when 99% of the viewers didn't even notice it? One could make an argument that, for basketball, all potential fouls and violations should be determined in real-time, not slo-mo. How about all those times Lebron travels and gets away with it? It's because, at game speed, you really can't tell. If you were to convince me that that last missed call was the only missed call of the game, I'd be inclined to say Auburn got robbed. But I'm programmed to believe that humans are fallible, multiple missed calls in games are the rule, not the exception, and you just have to hope they balance out. In basketball, I consider a couple of ticky tack fouls on a star player forcing him to sit way worse than one egregious bad call at the end of the game. And finally, how about all those people who think we need less, not more of replay? Or that we should limit the length of replay analysis? I'm huge on replay. If you want to argue that we need replay for every possible occurrence for basketball games, count me in. But if you want to place a limit in technology, then accept the consequences. - Jeff
