Hands up, everyone who looked at today’s scheduled and figured the hottest game would feature a duel between Derek Anderson and Kyle Boller. And while Rule 15, Section 9(c)(8) is going to be cited several more times between now and 7pm, perhaps the officials talking-it-over is permissible, while going to the replay isn’t?
Unless you’re Brian Billick, the important thing is they eventually got the call right.
Despite an early k.o. blow to Donovan McNabb, the Iggles prevailed today over the futile Fins, preserving Miami’s shot at a perfect 0-16 season. In retrospect, perhaps this wasn’t the best week for The Onion to launch a southern Florida edition.
I say they put the old-fashioned uprights back on the goal line (the ones with two supports instead of one). Add a little danger and excitement to those endzone crossing patterns.
