The fines are also counted as donations by the fined players, I believe. For tax reasons.

Oh the delicious irony coming from Seahawk fans given SBXL.

I said it that day - Seahawks fans better STFU about XL now.
I'm pretty much over it now. I'll mention it as a joke, but that was 7 years ago. Besides, this wasn't the goddamn Super Bowl, either.

Not to mention that not one play in that game was as egregious as what happened Monday night.
I agree. They get their win on MNF in week 3 thanks to shitty refs and a shittier opposing team. We got our 5th SB thanks to shitty refs and a shittier opposing team.
Sounds like we are even steven!
He had achilles tendinitis in the offseason before 2011, but no one really thought it was a major issue. Obviously, he rushed himself back and aggravated it into a tear, but at the time the deal was signed in July, it didn't seem to be anything major.
I'd agree but that's not saying much. Doesn't mean the terrible calls were some ticky tack stuff. It was pretty bad.

It's from a hawks blog, yes, but it certainly isn't as flattering to Jennings as the angle the national media is endlessly replaying.

Yeah, but when Steeler fans tried to explain that there were like 90 other plays for the Seahawks to take the game, Seahawk fans closed their ears and went, "Nah, nah, nah I can't hear you!" And now here comes the same exact argument to Packer fans. So you'll have to forgive them if they don't want to hear it right now.
It's official. This play has become the NFL's version of the Kennedy assassination.
hahaha i guess we've looped parody at this point

Poor BakedPigeon got banned in that Rihanna thread, sure i hate the bitch more than anyone but saying that in a thread that attracts her creepy stalkers and fanboys wasn't the best idea.
Am I missing something? Why do Card fans hate Rihanna so much?

How many times can we tell people to tread extremely lightly outside this thread.
I think they are just jealous that she gets beat more often than the Cards do.
mays was also fined the week before for roughing matt ryan as well, so back to back weeks might have had something to do with it.

Deep animosity for her hate of Arizona. Seriously though my hate is because of her music and personality/actions.

I'm sure her public image mirrors exactly the type of person she is when the media is not around. Judge away!

Convincing argument. ESPN camera guy should be fired for being a bum. It's pretty obvious that Tate had the ball pinned against his shoulder when they hit the ground and not the other way around like everybody claims to have seen.

Yes yes it does and i will judge her for it, thanks for your permission.

Yep, can you imagine Parker trying to run behind this line? He'd have -25 yards after about 4 runs.

Just so it's clear:
Tate has one hand at best on the ball. His hand is on Jennings' arm.
Tate's arm completely away from the ball in front of Jennings' face.
Some people are more blind than the replacement refs.

So when they smash Detroit this week, they're still 4th?

Tate actually lands with two feet before Jennings does.

Nobody has caught the ball at any point in those caps.
You could argue that Tate did because hes got one arm wrapped around the ball while his two feet are down. Jennings is still in the air.
Yep, and in the second still shot when Tate lands, the ball is arguably pressed against his shoulder with Jennings prying it away (admittedly with two hands).
This play being so controversial because it's "a clear mistake" is horrible. It's a debatable call, at best, but lol replacement refs, must be a mistake.

Tate has the ball pinned to his shoulder in the second picture you posted. In the video I posted Jennings is clearly trying to wrench the ball away from Tate as soon as they hit the ground, if he had such solid, slam-dunk possession of the ball that there's no way simultaneous possession could be called, why would he be struggling? Notice Tate is practically unmoving.

That's interesting. Starting to lose the animosity I had against the original ruling. IF, and this is a big if, Jennings lost control enough on the way down that Tate was able to take possession, then it wouldn't be much different than other fumbles or reverse-interceptions (whatever that means) I've seen with non-Hail Mary plays. However, the offensive pass interference was definitely not called as it should have been.

But Patriots and Bills play in the AFC?

Yes, that was blown call, not the TD.
However the NON-replacement refs had set the precedent for years previous to this that PI doesn't get called in that situation.
The Browns and Ravens can't meet in the SB, they're in the same division!

Hard to move when you are on the ground with a man holding a ball laying on your chest.

No one in their right mind will argue that. A little push is normal on Hail Mary's, a two handed shove is not.

The real refs paid the scabs to create this controversy so a deal could get done!

If a defender tackles a offensive player with the ball and touches it with one hand, it is then an interception according the the Transitive Property of Possession.
