DCbillsfan Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 "Personal Foul. Giving him the business." I was thinking the same thing! Referee Ben Dreiff (phonetic) called it. I think it was Marty Lyons of the Jets giving it to Kelly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Blizzard Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Any sport. I'll start - One that stands out in my mind was from like 20 years ago. Bills vs Houston if I remember correctly. Oilers had the ball. Pass play to the receiver; he catches the ball and lands with both feet inbounds. He almost immediately gets hit from behind and coughs up the ball and the Bills recover inbounds. The refs talk it over and I figure it's gonna be one of two things - either a fumble with a Bills' recovery or an incomplete pass. Guess what? It's neither. They give the ball to the oilers at the spot he fumbled. Gave the oilers a first down and kept the clock moving. Don't remember who won but I think it was the oilers...

Red Squirrel Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Roy Jones, Jr. was absolutely robbed in the '88 Seoul Olympics against a S. Korean boxer Olympic boxing used to be HUGE, and this fight killed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PushthePile Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I always remember a loss to NE in 1998. It was in NE of course and a phantom pass interference call was made at the very end of the game. My memory is kind of sketchy so if anyone has a better read on the situation, please share. The very next play was a TD pass from Bledsoe to Ben Coates that ended the game. Those gutless ran right off the field like they knew they stole the game. This is where the hatred, really started to grow. Ben Coates used to tear us up. That guy gave me nightmares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Pat Toomay, Bills-Miami 70's game, roughing a official while going after a fumble. Will never forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I hate the Pats, but the roughing call on Pats DE Sugar Bear Hamilton on 4th down in the 1975 Raiders-Pats playoff game was the worst ever (Ben Dreith was the ref - that's what he's infamous for). A true joke of a call, and it led to the Pats losing a game they should have won by all rights. I like to think of the tuck rule as "Sugar Bear payback."

Big Turk Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 i liked watching the Bears-Eagles playoff game in the fog bowl where the announcers had to rely on the sideline reporters to let them know what was going on because they couldn't see anything...

I remember that one.. as I recall, the refs ruled that at the point of contact the WRs forward progress had been stopped, therefore the play was over. Bul**hit call, if there ever was one.

DFITZ1 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Any sport. I'll start - FUNNIEST: It was the 98-99 season and the Philadelphia Eagles were a terrible team (season before McNabb). I kid you not and I remember it to this day - the Eagles were about to run a play, but the referee blew his whistle, threw his flag, and came running out to announce the call: "False start, on the offense. The ENTIRE offensive line. 5 yard penalty, repeat 3rd down" Hilarious! How does an entire offensive line false start?! There was a Bills-KC MNF in '91 or '92; the Bills had completed a pass, so they thought, the call was challenged and reversed, and the ball was set 10 YARDS BEHIND WHERE IT WAS LAST SPOTTED, and no one on field noticed. It became an ad hoc 10 yard penalty, and the Bills had to punt after not making up the phantom yardage. Somehow, during teh Kelly years, Arrowhead Stadium was a house of horrors in more ways than one. NHL - the world leader in bizarre calls: I think it was a playoff game, Calgary vs Edmonton, a Calgary player visiously speared an Edmonton player, the ref doesn't see it, play continues, and Calgary scores. Afterward, they see a player spralled out on the ice, the linesman told the ref there was a spearing penalty (a major and game misconduct) before the goal, BUT THE GOAL STILL COUNTED! NBA Buffalo Braves are called for a foul in the last seconds of a playoff game between the Celtics. Replay cannot find teh foul. Foul shots are made and Braves went from a game winner to playoff elimination on that "foul". After reading recent articles on the NBA's penchant for favoring big markets (as how the Lakers got to the finals 2 years ago), makes you wonder. MLB World Series, bases loaded, Darryl Strawberry at the plate, 9th inning, winning run on 3rd, Strawberry leans into each pitch, and gets ball calls and walks in teh winning run. Replay shows pitches were strikes and Straw's lean influenced the ump. Can't forget the Yanks getting a HR against the Orioles when a 12 year old caught a fly ball leaning over the outfield wall. Replays showed it was interference and should have been an out. Yanks win the WS and teh 12 year old gets to join them in the victory parade.

DFITZ1 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 NHL - How about "No Goal"?NBA - Where the most corrupt refs reside.. "No Goal" for sure. The most bizzarre aspect of that was how fast the NHL and Bettman rolled out the red carpet and presented the cup as if they had to catch a plane in half an hour. Linde wouldn't address the media until he got an explanation for the goal, and the NHL changed the In the Crease rules that summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quester74 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Any one of a number of games officaited by Phil Luckett. The most ridiculous one having to be the blown coin flip. After that incidient, and another that I can't recall at the moment.. he was busted down to a Back Judge, I think (Whichever plays center field in the secondary).. anyways, he's doing a Saints game.. and Joe Horn is running a post route WIDE OPEN.. I mean no one within 20 yards, save one person.. Phil Luckett. Horn runs smack into him, at the 10 yard line. Might be the best pass defense I've ever seen.

bbb Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 There seems to be a lot of slight misinformation on this thread. Going strictly by memory, of which I'm quite sure........The actual call was "giving the quarterback the business" The ref was Ben Dreith, and the player was Marty Lyons...........and, it was not Kelly's NFL debut, but the game later that year at the Jets (not the home game in week one, where he did get blasted by Klecko, who was penalized, but not for giving him the business!)

Yep, Testaverde's WHITE helmet was mistaken for a BROWN football. Luckett was a terrible ref. Is he still in the league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
