Three receivers right here at the -- Wilson extend the play. Most of the forty. -- John Paul he didn't think more. Than. Most of it has agreements and get right annals of the guys in green but I. Last night's final play of the game the most bizarre like you'll ever see -- No right and -- guy the guy said no. Never the is it that itself at the same guy. Now wasn't -- I was in Minnesota. I'm really do your job night with a quarterback. Going forward go. Forgot that guy sounds a lot about what's happened. It's like I saw don't show today. After last night's. Performance that flight -- he talked about last night there were 3000 miles or whatever because numbers at a total loss but it was a long flight anyway and even longer. After losing that game from the the Green Bay Packers he goes home to. -- Green -- and today Aaron Rodgers doing his weekly radio show on ESPN radio in Milwaukee. It's obvious answer those that you know -- numbered. Around you know the NFL's statement here after our game. It's wanna read if you mine does better with me here it's this year and they they released a statement about what happened there when the ball's in the air they can be seen shouting. Inches of the ground. -- should have been appellate profit the past referenced in the game it is not called and not review board's request that they admit I'm totally blows the call however. -- -- -- When the players hit the ground in the end zone the officials determined that both -- and Jennings had -- honorable. I callable. Because -- -- officials. -- that was your communication between there's your communication between on the guy who. Was responsible for the first and 25 of them past -- -- calls him -- and the other refereed who was responsible for. Calling me offsetting personal -- for one hand pushing Brandon Browner who just punched him in from the ground. So those two guys have your communications hero -- that one problem is signaling. You know overs meaning. Clocks stopped game's over I'm about to signal touchback and the other. From who knows what angle as he's looking at -- on top of Golden Tate. And he's gonna say that the -- rather receiver -- at the ball to mistress which is also usually. The association with this simultaneous. Possession rule is it who has the ball on their chest -- As the rule reads which we all probably read it at some point in the last four hours. Simultaneous possession. Does not exist and one person has the ball first and the other player tries to put his hands on top of the -- which obviously happened. And it's reasonably -- -- reported. But it's essentially ended the and so they were there when the players hit the ground Indians on the officials the term that -- engines and -- Under the rule for simultaneous catch the ball belongs to me the -- where. That's garbage. So goes on the say. This is the government but it. Replay official powers and stop the game for news or -- the aspects of the plays that -- review included if the ball hit the ground. And who had possession of the ball. In the end zone ruling of simultaneous catch is review. That's that's not the case in the field play only unions so he could reviewed whether anonymous penalties yes. Which is their last part of it robbery when he though it determined that no indisputable visual as evidence existed to overturn the call on the field. And as a result on field -- of -- sense that. So you're telling me you looked at that video. Which look like your own and they're for about 1515. Seconds you look at that thing -- and didn't -- Golden State's right arm come awful. The ball whenever horrible he was grabbing or whatever part of in Egypt needs -- -- -- -- with his left arm just barely underneath that India the ball on his stomach and was on toppled. -- school was wrapping his arms around his back you tell me that there was. No video no indisputable visual evidence existed and replayed over technical. I mean c'mon. At some numbers. That that's -- Apple's current events are people that Sharon Rogers. -- patriots might play. -- Connecticut -- routers -- breakers you know. That's unbelievable. That's like. Brady coming India throwing do you see out of the stimulants I think Elvis I'm I'm I'm gonna I'm -- ultimate -- it would really happen no more degree while we wish you play a little bit more of that cut some of that stuff that is on. Believable but he breaks it down linked by. And he doesn't even really get into some of the other stuff I mean there were other -- squalls. It could close that game out we talked about the rough from the master. Com. Call the interception. Wilson throws an interception. McMillan picks it up if you're remembered ran out of bounds on the sidelines right from the Green Bay bench and they -- all celebrating here that the game is pretty much over to get the ball. We're deep now to see you -- territory were ridiculous score low run time off the clock in and and they're screwed. And they call the thing. The pastor because somebody got the ankle. Of Wilson who by the way is terrific on the run but got the. Can't roughing the streets outside the tackle box when he got out there. You can't have roughing the passer call is if you can't touch the quarterback. But Michael Vick would get get himself to what few jobs -- that's it we have three options are right. Roughing the passer but these replacement officials. Don't understand the rules is another wrong call. It's first and 25. Pick them up. Seattle on your -- 43. With a first and 45 they -- in trouble right now green Bay's defense is playing really mean really tough now. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Incomplete pass want passed the sideline -- it to city writes. They called a defense of pass interference. On -- -- It's not there. Never happened right if you can't find it. And sat there in the play the couple degrees I don't -- it up on the this affair it's not but -- gave them a first down. Put him in Green Bay territory. I'm in perfect shape means the rough three huge calls down the stretch. All going in Seattle's favor if -- green bay Packers and your Green Bay packer player Antarctica you've got to be just miss it. There -- epic against group yeah yeah absolutely -- You don't -- game in the game was taken away from them by the officials now and -- surprised by this. The NFL I know we are we would love sports love the NFL. The National Football League. Over 700. Thousand voice -- -- I was busy all night. As -- 170 pounds I was busy all my intelligence telephone calls 70000. Voicemails. That surprised you -- -- it surprise you that this would surprise me applicable ever got 500 voicemails that would be surprising. Then. -- think about Nike Nike golf about the Yankees called out of office in Green -- as usual Smart America. Maybe even if he had -- lucky it's don't want to you know one of the top thirty markets and if that happened to New York to Boston team shall now you know. Order -- well but Randy and -- the parties to article last night. -- -- Other NFL voicemail protected I love that Aaron -- stuff I mean that's just -- -- of you know. It is not a guy who's emotionally distraught just -- I think he is breaking it down he is telling you exactly. What the official could see what the official could Nazi MIC and Ottawa. It it's shown on television I'm convinced Michael. Every 2.3. Minutes our leaders that we are not started yet on the times. -- said Jerry Jones doesn't -- easterly -- though I had to wait for item and then the news -- he said. Rooms through -- strong dollar offering a study nobody's talking about it -- they're talking about the boys this week and that's what the world Florida beat them at some of them. -- Part of her -- does count that it does count double checked -- from. Correctly about how is it that you get -- you get two guys with different calls. And the referee Wayne -- Doesn't bring them together. The talk about it figure among never declares what the hall is down on the field -- of the -- -- underneath the -- so that they can figure out. And and watch the replay of it didn't. And then they have an opportunity. To communicate with the replay the NFL replay people upstairs. Why is we have contact with the people back in New York. Excuse my Roger Goodell usually. You opt out for these games so he didn't get to -- but simulate. Has got to refereed umpires before in ball games to get things reversed give them. If Bud Selig and knowing how much a budget quickest guy in the world you know on this I can't do. It's even harder to believe. When you think about was the only game I can see this happen on Sunday. Sunday at one. If this Sunday were right out of their -- thing for for Roger Goodell. If if it's Sunday afternoon. And you've got a ton of games. The focus on means you you can't be an all these places at once I can see how big typical for him to weigh in. But on Monday Night Football your signature game. It's one game you have to deal with. It can't really. State your opinion you can't you can't influence what's gonna happen there Michael on the final play of the game I don't know what game and focus on. -- -- they want messes it all of the games. On Sunday night's game was a disaster. Last night's game was worse than -- disaster does anybody think it's getting better Thursday night where this week at home it will get worse. Because there's more at stake and more of these players are pissed off and fired up right now and some of these teams are desperate for a win. This thing is going to be if you're not bet it was ugly this last weekend just wait till this week. I mean c'mon -- and that's and that's embers. So he could reviewed whether or not it was simultaneous -- Which is their last part of it reverie Wayne -- determined that no indisputable visual as evidence existed to overturn the call on the field. And as a result on field ruling of touchdown stood. So when you're telling me look at that video. Which look like your only other for about 1515. Seconds you look at that thing and and didn't see Golden State's right arm come off of the ball whatever part of all he was driving or whatever part of -- Jennings whose -- -- with his left arm just barely underneath us and behind the ball on his stomach. And was on toppled. Golden as golden was wrapping his arms around his back you tell me that there was. No video no indisputable visual evidence existed and that -- to overturn -- call. -- tomorrow. -- believe the numbers at general. Daughters will love weekly football alone radio program and pageant every -- given him on just that there. Over play by play. Everything in the Napa amazed that probably only when he -- -- that it the united -- I'll betcha that's not his reputation. In -- during during last season they lost that game in the regular season. I'm sure when they were twelve and -- and thirteen you know and asking him about being undefeated with the Packers go or eleven and I think they lost gained twelve -- thirteen -- Kansas City. When they were asking him that. I'm sure he wasn't as forthcoming. In his as passionate as he was there. With a look what's up on the board in Vegas. Bull bottle in Vegas will Bill Belichick be fine by the NFL for grabbing a refereed after the game against the ravens. Yes wanted to know six to one. On how much Bill Belichick will be fine by the NFL for grabbing a -- after the game against the ravens it's an over under. Fifty howls and I think it's can be right -- this I don't know alone. So we've gotten. -- got the over now. The default goals here at a big show is -- -- Boston Bahrain Moran -- who. You know what you are -- are you doing. No question on the color or who I was or if our goal and mention of the players. They were more of the blame and I wanted to say that -- -- ever have the time him. What they're doing is they're treating them like substitute teachers. I'm I didn't -- better analogy. There a little level of knowledge of the play at all but it from anonymity there actually can't. Look for certain characteristic that they would normally would shore it up these huge. People out there. There's just a level of report that you can't get closer to those players and make something million dollars. Armed with guns were barely there and I feel really sorry for -- because honest. They're on an island during the game. All right so you know here's the players don't don't respect the officials that this group did what you know what you can do love him. You know which north you can do as an official got the -- -- a demand respect. You demand it. You -- the majority but you only -- -- Here's a bit and hit it anywhere near to make. No kill you know what do. You probably got a -- aggression recently up a big Bill Belichick had an underdog candidate notebook. But brands about the guys and -- -- -- what are they going to -- you are do you think you made some of these guys are afraid. For -- on national T have you -- There's an intimidation. Might well we don't think they literally are gonna get beaten like bike rack. 330. After. Happened let you know -- and again. There's a problem this is why. They can't they should be. Thinking I'm that a command respect and demand respect the reason they're not getting respect not just the players I think they'd be getting respect and called a bottom branded target backseat. But our problem is. They're not getting respect from the coaches because they don't have their stuff but down they don't know. That they don't know the rules and that's what they're supposed -- -- I think the -- would -- you're just adds okay fine. Only here because you didn't come to the NFL didn't come to agreement the officials but the least you can do is be prepared and out of the game. And that's the other but they don't yet have no that's why they're targeting resort that's on the NFL. Because they put these guys together in June they they basically give a crash course for six days and and throw him out there. It's right about that it's it's it's not their fault they're incapable right now based on the training -- that. -- come anywhere close to the competency. Of the regular officials. The players are taken cheaper shots they're going out there all cluster -- more -- finger they would never do absolutely not. But they can't go out there and hate you but not like Jane garrison up like I know what you do every week like I know the -- heard from which you guys who used to play for the titans the quarterback who -- cheap shot Corliss -- and yeah I'll go global sport that although they can't be understated. Well about what happened this week it didn't read a guy that you don't slip up. Helmet to helmet not once but twice during the course of the game I think you're absolutely correct these players can talk all they want about players' safety. They are right now playing reckless out here. Because they do that they wanna went in winning is more important -- safety and the way you win right now is if you get away with something. Because the substitute teacher is working today you are going to get away with a. Anybody out there ever have a good substitute teacher. -- don't think so you never had a good stuff to register durable and ever had -- -- dead or is it just kind of -- Other evidence that you'll like this try to remember them. Have been a good substitute teacher don't have a way dormant that you have respect for taught -- something. Got your attention. You I kept him a ticket can't think anybody right now are Steve and former. -- You're enjoying your day everything's okay and then the loan. -- -- -- -- -- Wow. Great intro intro coming. Up pretty special annual tournament. Let me get this straight Glenn says the US officials should that he hit 288. You know I'm monitoring the and who's going to be the -- to the NFL. Yet in the end who's gonna trust them let's put that. Away or a whole -- It's -- a merit system okay the problem you have right now Steve. Because I think you've complained in the past about NFL officials even the regular officials that we had some of them were good. Some -- -- not so good you don't -- an NFL recognized. But points out of -- -- you are out there that can help that's a brilliant it is. You've got to -- quartet. Got official 25 you -- making a buck 75 the year. And seven young pockets sixty grand. I think that. Every yelled at the Bob craps at the world but got to see the tech guy. That make sixty grand a year when no tension gets the work. Steve you bring up a great point even though you didn't make it a culture -- America. The great artists that you can now read Steve are there I -- well he's told -- before Holland you are dangerous all over before it got to high football IQ announced it has to come professor -- -- -- it you're right you don't trust the NFL right now we don't trust NFL either but I think that's part of collective bargaining. You as the officials sit there and say OK we agreed to be held accountable willow agreed to a great system. But we ever gonna have a day. In that at all or that person that great I thought OK Steve if they did that would you say okay. Absolute I thought I would make. On the ads on Yucca vehemently now I -- departure and does it is right yeah -- should be nullified were effect I don't think you can be any. I could be on a pair of black and I and I would fit in that official the coach I was one of the officials. And I without negotiating team that's exactly. But but what they don't wanna do is they just don't wanna do with ten. I mean where we ran into the same thing every time while Chicago yet the the strike situation there with a schoolteachers and. So that I give a lot of people talking about the lucky sperm club in the matter is in the and that and the people that run and the people that run the Pittsburgh Steelers and all these other guys. And that's formal. Patriots -- the Sullivan's over the ice and drive in -- -- these are the the Jerry jones' in the Bob crap that it wanted to wring every nickel out of this operation could we already know it's 45 million bottom but not. Good news the good news is that Kraft doesn't that put any of the back in the product is give. According to you that sucked. I don't know immediately there million dollars under the cap I don't know why that hasn't been brought up yet another million I don't know why -- you know. I don't please read and I don't watch out there and -- I don't want to and I want why can't I find that information out what is secret. I can find more things out about foreign countries. Militaries and I can about what that what -- what did put the number you. Why can't you individually or -- -- treatment is yes why can't I go on NFL back -- now the fidelity but it cap number and how father up. -- pretty much find out that can. You wanted to find out what I need at least in the old. Why did I don't know what it looked up publisher you give me a few teams amounts of -- figured out -- find out the next now. Point and what -- would you like it and picked -- they keep it. IPod to calculate you haven't got off. It happens to. Just about Ty Law at about that at all about that perhaps how can you trust in and they want it great but like you work. It that we we've got like defying sides here. And only Steve's got -- up to the point where got elected I have no idea what language got seeking got a cartoon that I -- I don't -- -- -- distinctly don't. They've got to got to -- Stephen got to go. Steve again I really do I have to go out that I really don't like -- like you are you are subject you bring up I'm arguments sometimes under the podium Europeans -- it's just let's take a break. For all of us from Steve. From the rest of the world will be back in a couple minutes here.
