NFL Channel Chickens Out Questioning Ref Calls
I love the NFL channel. In fact, when Time Warner bought out Comcast in my area, and I found out Time Warner wouldn’t be carrying the NFL channel, I switched over to FIOS cable. Not having the NFL channel just didn’t cut it.
Its not for the news, mind you. I can get news by hitting Yahoo or watching ESPN. The NFL channel gives a very unique player-centric experience.
But, it is owned by the NFL, so being unbiased is probably something that would be a stretch for it. So, it didn’t come as too much of a surprise that, when it came time for them to do their weekly segment on the questionable calls with the head of NFL officiating, that they took a bye on asking about any of the blown calls in the Cowboys game.
There were at least three questionable calls in the first half alone. And that first half ending — well, that’s a head scratcher.
My guess: They looked at the end of the half and said, “Holy crap, we screwed up hard on that one.” And promptly decided to burn the tape.
