Reading that article and the comments below just make me mad. At some point we are going to have to stop reading this stuff IMHO.

I am not going to say calls were always wrong. I am going to say they didn’t call the game even. Not against KC. Not against Green Bay. Brady always gets the benefit of the doubt. I frankly don’t get it. He has the personality of a potato and isn’t very interesting away from the field. I appreciated him early in his career, but with all the cheating and suspect clouds floating over head in New England, I think he is tainted. He may be a freak of nature in his mid 40s, but his lack of drop off compared to peers as he ages is suspect. If he is ever outed like Lance Armstrong, the NFL has two decades tainted permanently.

This was either just bad luck that we got that ref again or a setup. I felt like there were too many ticky tacky calls to help the Bucs gain an insurmountable lead going into the half. It felt very suspicious then. This just reinforces that feeling.

problem is how the NFL picks the SB ref. The process needs to be looked at.

How can a ref, who had the 5th highest holding calls during the season be named as the ref for the SB?

There has got to be data sets to compare this you would think the NFL would want the biggest stage to be not known zebras.
