Here's another one to show how the NFL manipulates not only games, but the rhetoric...

Final play of Steelers-Lions.  Lions are down 4 and must get a touchdown to win, and they appear like they are going to do so, especially with two major Steeler penalties on the drive.

A pass is thrown near the end zone, but caught in the field of play, and the player is about to be stopped, but then laterals the ball to the Lions quarterback, who dives into the end zone for the winning score.

Or does he?

After significant discussion, a flag which had been thrown is revealed to be offensive pass interference, and the Lions fans are having a cow.

When you see this video and the blatant nature of the OPI, not only was it the correct call, but you have to believe Amon Ra-St. Brown was in on it.

Why?  Who's the quarterback for the Steelers again?

  1. Yeah, there could be a Rodgers angle (they want him to get into the playoffs). However, I also believe that there could be a Tomlin angle as well (the ESPN woke crowd doesn't want him to have a losing season and have fans continue to chant for his head).

  2. They'll chant for his head anyway, because any Pittsburgh fan with a brain knows that winning the division is useless if the Chargers or Bills run your ass 40-7 in the wildcard round.
