God hates the Browns and NFL refs are terrible

[feltdizz]

Usually I can laugh at the Browns misfortune but this shows the NFL doesn't care about getting it right.

Browns RB fumbles, revocers it andis standing up with the ball and the furst female ref in thr NFL runs over to the pile and looks down at 2 Redskin players and points Redskins ball. Mind you, the Browns RB was alredy standing up with thr ball before she even reached the pile.

and replay didnt over turn it.

the language is bad but its also hilarious.

we have a female ref that does our area high school games
she always throws more flags than the rest of the crew and gets influenced easy by the sidelines. i know if she makes a controversial call, the next play she throws a flag to make up for it.
politically correct crap.
chicks shouldnt cover, officiate, interview, report on, announce or write about mens sports

The season hasn't started yet even, and I've put you on ignore. That kind of stuff doesn't belong on this forum, and I'd say that even if we didn't have valued female posters/members on this forum.

You can still watch it on YouTube...it's pretty ridiculous. I can't stand the Browns, but I also can acknowledge that they got jobbed badly in what was a 4 point game at the time...

Wow... spouting this garbage on the day that you go on a self-righteous diatribe about violat ing league rules, drug rules, ped rules, sexual assault, gun laws, domestic violence, racial issues, child abuse and the police/military...I don't even know what to say.

The ONLY way this could have been funnier is if it happened to the Pats** or the Rats! Classic.

I think the best part of this story is that every single sports outlet (ESPN, SI, CBS Sports, Bleacher, etc) has reported how the NFL screwed it up and the NFL's response - "No, we got it right." You can literally see the Browns player holding the ball above his head and the NFL is sticking with "the Redskins recovered". You almost have to admire the attitude of the NFL of we don't care that the entire world saw the play; we're going all in on being 100% incorrect.

It's the old adage: " I calls 'em as I sees 'em, and if I don't sees 'em, I make 'em up"

Terrelle Pryor on fumble: “There’s no possible way” Washington recovered it
Posted by Mike Florio on October 5, 2016, 11:52 AM EDT

One of the strangest plays in recent memory happened in Washington on Sunday, when Browns running back Duke Johnson fumbled, quickly emerged from a developing pile of bodies, and showed the ball to the world while an official unbundled the scrum and awarded possession to the defense.

“The refs thought the ball was still down there,” Browns receiver Terrelle Pryor said on Wednesday’s PFT Live on NBC Sports Radio and NBCSN. “We were tapping the refs, and me and Duke were holding the ball and I was like, ‘Ref, ref! We got the ball right here! We got the ball right here! And . . . I don’t know. There’s no explanation.”

Pryor said that Sarah Thomas, the official who made the call on the field, explained that the defense had secured the ball.

“She told me that Josh Norman had the ball, and he had possession of the ball, and then Duke took it off of him,” Pryor said. “That’s what she said, but there’s no possible way, how fast Duke had the ball that you can say that.”

Pryor is right. If Norman somehow had the ball — and no available visual evidence shows he did — he didn’t have it for very long at all. And he definitely didn’t have it long enough to, say, make a catch.

Really, if a player is required to secure possession, get two feet on the ground, and keep the ball long enough to have the chance to engage in one or more various football-related moves to complete the act of receiving the ball, a player who purports to recover a fumble should have it for longer than the blink of an eye.

It’s one thing for a player to emerge from the bottom of the pile with the ball long after possession has been awarded to the other team by the officials. It’s quite another for the player to spring up with the ball before the pile has even fully formed. That’s what happened here, and the Browns should have kept the ball.

NFL senior vice president of officiating Dean Blandino has admitted that the contrast of Johnson holding the ball and Thomas seemingly searching the pile for possession and awarding it to Washington is a “bad visual.” Indeed it is; it’s also a very unfortunate outcome that will do nothing to bridge the gap between things fans and media see on TV and things the officials see (or they think they see) on the field.

Of all the potential reasons for the decrease in TV ratings, the disconnect between what we see and what we’re told we’ve seen presents the greatest threat to public confidence in the sport and its perceived integrity. Although I don’t believe NFL games are in any way fixed, this is precisely the kind of result that invites not-so-crazy speculation that they are.

LOL, I just watched a video clip posted on You-Tube by a Clowns fan and he destroys the female ref. Hey, I've seen Phil Luckett blow a coin toss in Detroit. They're all human.
