re: PP7 asks Saban about The Pick that Never Was

It was a bad call on the part of the review personnel, very bad. The ref on the field; can’t hardly fault the guy too much on a bang-bang call that really is/was a call where 2 ref’s were needed in order to make a call at all.

That is to say, no way 1 ref can watch for components of a “catch”, while also watching feet for “in-bounds” component(s).

While it ended up being a clear INT with the benefit of replay, the call on the field was a toughy for the best 1 man/ref scenario.

So it was way—way short of falling in the “worst call ever” category. Not even on/in the list of top 500 worst calls IMHO!

Again, the video review folks, now that’s a different story. I knocked over a full box of Cheerios with my fist when they announced the decision of the review folks.
