Tonight I had some guys over to watch the Packer vs Vikings on Monday NIght Football. There were both Packer and Viking fans in the room and we all agreed that the broadcast lacked.... a lot. Especially when it came to showing replays. Replays are always fun to watch and you often learn a lot about a team or player. What made this nights replays... or lack there of ... was that on several key, questionable plays.... we never saw the replay!!!!!
Over the last few years there has been talk that since the NFL doesn't have paid "professional" officials, broadcast networks and replay system at the game sights must be careful not to embarrass the officials. Well there were over 20 penalties in the game tonight including a "offensive man down field" cal that cost the packers a TD!!!!
Even the Viking fans watching the game its was poor call and deserved a better look for everyone.
I don't if ESPN... "leader in sports" just had a bad broadcast night because of their double heard game night or what.
I just hope that the NFL hasn't forced the broadcaster to avoid showing us the tough calls. We deserve to see the tough calls and it's always been apart of the NFL process.
And what's up with the game number #2 game??? Can't ESPN get a better broadcast team than MIke, Mike and Mike?
Maybe that's another post.

I did enjoy Ditka going goofy after the Raiders' 2nd touchdown! LOL
Yeah, when you have "tripping" AND "leverage" on a field goal try called in the SAME GAME, you know you've got some refs that are trying TOO MUCH to enforce rules and are not allowing the game to be played!
Anyway....Ditka's craziness in the last part of this clips video of the NFL weekend, if you wanna watch.(cut and paste url)
