I think on that play that the refs were trying to protect Tommyboy because he had a defender coming at him and was headed toward the sideline, but it backfired on them because he was at least a yard away from the sidelines when they blew the whistle and he threw the ball. So to make up for their obvious stupidity they come up with some crazy explanation and then the bogus penalty on Rex.
So the state says Fanduel and Draft Kings are illegal gambling. Where does this leave private fantasy leagues? IMHO the state has decided it wants a piece of the pie.
Two words: money grab.
I think most would agree that the refs have become WAY too much a part of the game. Stats prove that, especially this year. When there are only one of these games a week for your team, their bad games magnify things greatly.
