@@ethanturley3219 I figured it had something to do w/cheating.....ick. I still don’t really understand fully what’s going on there/how that would work.... but thank uuuuu!!!!
The ref talking to MJ is Tommy Nunez. The first Hispanic professional referee in America . This includes ALL professional sports in the USA. I went to his referee clinic, that’s how I know his story.
The one thing I'll give Jim Joyce is he owned the bad call and personally apologized to him. Which is more than most umps would ever do... Even gave interviews on it...
Believe the ruling is or was the ground cannot cause a fumble. So he came down with the ball but the ground knocked it from his hand so should be a catch.
Having been in New Orleans watching that Rams/Saints "no call" pass interference, I can tell you that the referees made it a point to leave the stadium VERY quickly (and quietly) after the game. Some lawsuits were actually filed by fans against the NFL for damages (loss of vendor revenue or something like that), deficiency of product, and a couple of other oddball suits.
Actually, this one is closer than it looks! The contact from the corner is NOT as soon as it looks, and the ball is PASSING the 2 players just about simultaneous to the contact! It only looks like it was way before because the pass is thrown to where the receiver would have caught it A FEW YARDS IN FRONT OF HIM... But either way, there should have been a hit on a defenseless receiver call!😋
@@irar4665 no the fuck it isn't. They actually changed the rules because if that play. The defender even said in the post game interview that he got there early he was just trying to prevent the TD. Leave it to some jackasses on here though to know thing
@@irar4665 more than one call could've been made. Helmet to helmet, Defenseless receiver, and Pass interference. All those were available to make and they called NOTHING.
It is my firm belief that every single call or close moment could be subject to review and any call made by a ref can be overturned in all sports. Human error is way too common for ref's eyesight and judgment to be the only factor.
@Kush Hazard i was just mentioning to my ma about how its wierd, you see on tv how legitimately ANGRY and MAD these coaches, players, and fans get over some of these calls, and how some calls could change a whole mans career or even his life - im surprised you don't see MUCH more news reports that go like this: "A referee for the NBA - who worked last weeks hawks game against the knicks, the same ref who made the very questionable game changing call, was found dead in his apartment this morning; authorities at first reported it as a break-in/robbery gone wrong, but the coroners report has just revealed that his death has been ruled a suicide... More at 6 - in other news, an umpire for the MLB has gone missing under mysterious circumstances after suddenly calling in sick for a game; he's the 4th umpire in the majors this season to disappear."
@@officerlarry2686 Well, I still think refs are important because someone needs to make the obvious calls on the field. Game needs to be monitored and refs do a pretty good job, I just don't think their word should be treated as gospel in any sport.
It was a uncatchable pass yes even though robey-coleman didn't look for the ball the pass was on the outside shoulder of tommy lee lewis not the inside shoulder
I love how Detroit is represented three times in one video about controversial calls. For the Record: Tigers, Galarraga has a perfect game going... that would have been the final out. Lions, Tate catch: This one the officials got right and followed the rules correctly, just a stupid rule. It's entirely possible that the team could have gotten lined up and run a play to spike the ball in the 8 seconds that were left. Lions, Calvin catch: That's a catch.
The rule of a catch is that you have to survive the ground. Calvin Johnson couldn't survive it on both feet, so it's not a catch... yet. Then you have to go to the fact if he survives a crash with the ground after that, which he obviously doesn't. Glad you're not a ref because you're worse than Jim Joyce screwing Galaragga out of a perfect game.
@@chrissamarotto nope...you, obviously, did not see where perriman initiated the contact against hitchens, by tugging his facemask and PULLING him in. the call sequence was bizarre to the point where it's hard to believe that it was called CORRECTLY...the ball was not catchable.
I would have to say the Seahawks "Touchdown" is probably by far one of the most controversial moments in Sports History. They showed that play from multiple angles for like 20 minutes that day, and I still could NOT find a reason to believe that was a Touchdown, by any stretch of the meaning.
I could've sworn I watched an interview of someone where they claimed a ref admitted to him that they were told to call it a touchdown because the Seahawks fans would cause major riots in and outside the stadium and would've put people in danger. If I find that interview again, I'll link it here.
The fail Mary was the worst. How do you call that a TD when the ball was in the Packer players bread basket. That play kept the Packers from getting the first seed in the playoffs that year and a first round bye.
The reason it's a touchdown is because the rule for who "wins" a contested catch between the offense and the defense is shitty and doesn't take into account who has better control of the ball. By rule, if a player from each team is "fighting" over a catch, the catch goes to the offense, no matter what. Even though Seattle's WR barely has his hands on it and it's clear the GB defender has it secured in his arms, the ball is, by rule, in possession of the WR. The NFL's rules suck ass.
9:42 How the call should've been: "Tamp Bay has an injured played on the field. They do not have any timeouts. By rule, there is a 10 second run-off." "Please set the game-clock to 1 second." I'm a Browns fan, and I even know that should've been called like that. Mike clearly called for help with 12-13 seconds left yet the Refs decided to let the clock run down to 8 seconds. Edit: Switched "turnouts" to "timeouts"
Ah didn't pick up on that, I wondered why the controversy there, I was like "he's injured, no timeouts, there's 10 seconds of run off, only 8 seconds left that's game" That said what are the rules as far as when an injury time out is taken? There's some level of judgment as to if the player is injured or "injured" or just slow getting up.
@@Mike__B When the player is lying on the field or calling for the ref, the Refs are supposed to call an Injury timeout. The trainers were on the field before 10 seconds, there should've been an Injury timeout.
I was confused too, because I’m big NBA guy and that’s ridiculous, yeah we have $30,000 high res camera’s but no we’re gonna leave that to 3 refs who probably haven’t had an eye examination since kindergarten
The team has the option to challenge. Imagine how much excitement would be lost, and how abused the system could get if after every play they had to replay it to make a decision. Hell how many actual fouls occur in sports now even with refs missing the majority of them. Not saying it’s right, and something has to change.
My favorite thing about the “Fail Mary” was that the NFL realized how bad the replacement officials were so they ended the lockout with the regular officials the following week. Now look where we are with officiating. 😂
Refs r just there to do their job sports r rigged and scripted I don't know how people don't understand this yet... Its so obvious with watching any sport its ridiculous. Refs r told what to call and when simple as that.
Some context for the altuve clip. This was before a major sign stealing controversy emerged that revealed for the two years prior to that play, the astros had been stealing pitching signs by watching the televised broadcast and banging on trash cans when the pitch was offspeed. There were rumors that because they hadn’t been caught yet but there were no cans heard in 2019, that they might’ve switched to more covert methods (like a buzzer under altuve’s shirt). This was only fueled by altuve telling his team not to rip off his shirt and dodging the question after the game. No further investigations took place, and the 2019 astros World Series title still stands (much to the chagrin of Yankees fans)
Trust me you'd choke in the moment too. You have never had 100,000 people booing you before. I've had a couple thousand while I was officiating and you can lose focus quickly
i can not put into words how fucking furious i was watching that live, just to have james harden fucking ice it in their 2 best defenders faces, and get fouled on the shot. from seething in anger to pure joy just like that. man, i love sports lmao
i can only assume this is the same year the astros were caught cheating. Can look that up, but basically they were hitting loud drums signaling what the pitch is going to be.
It’s horrible. If Galaraga went on to be a cy young winner and a world champ, played 10 years, fine. But the dude was a below average PRO pitcher (obviously still amazing), and this would’ve been his career moment. If I were mlb I would honor him with 24th perfect game cause that’s BS. Last play of game, not like a first inning call.
@@raran44 but dez was falling and didn't keep the ball in his possession. He didn't make a "football move" so he wasn't established as a runner. James on the other hand caught it and then reached out to make it a TD. He only lost possession because of the "football move" he did, which shouldn't have mattered because if you have possession of the ball when your cross the line it's an automatic TD
@@Yomommahouse7878 They were both extending the ball over the plane. Cut the homerism. The Steelers would've just choked in the playoffs like they always do.
Watching this makes me realize how lazy refs are. Most of these calls were at the end of the games when the officials are ready to go home. It amazes me how there is also zero consequences for refs, and even calling them out results in fines for the players.
The calls were at the end because this is the most controversial call in sports, and usually people don't care as much about calls that don't change immediatly the result... Come on man, don't generalize like that, there's no grand "ref conspiracy", they're just humans tasked with a difficult job. Moreover thos bad calls get replayed extensively, but do you ever see a compilation of the millions of correct calls?
Thats like saying a player who misses game winning shot is lazy because he wants to go home. Of course the refs want to get calls right, its just not a perfect system.
If you just look up statistics for miscalls by refs you would see they are pretty good at their jobs. Tens of thousands of sports games happen a week and the large majority are major controversary free. Your just watching a highlight reel of bad calls you goof.
Jim Joyce robbing Gallaraga of a perfect game is easily the worst in this video. By a mile. There's only been 23 in the history of baseball and that poor guy got robbed of one. In the post game interview, Jim Joyce saw that he got the call wrong, and he looked like he was gonna cry.
@@EvboiMC out of all of these, I know that call kept it from being one of the greatest pitching games of all time, but I actually give Jim credit because he came out and said he made the wrong call and then apologized to Gallaraga the next game. Plenty of these officials/refs/umps would tell you that they made the right call even in the face of a blatant mistake just because that’s the precedent set before them. I’m glad Jim stood up for his wrong call.
"does he maintain control?" The man has the ball in his hands, lands on his knees across the plane, and reaches across, then the ball wiggles. Why is that an issue
If you're talking about the dez bryant play he didn't cross the plane before being down therefore he has to maintain control of the ball all the way to the ground, which he didn't do.
@@currentfps160 he had 3 feet on the ground and made a football move. They even said later it was a catch and apologized. I don’t see why people still argue
5:30 That was the correct call. If the 3rd baseman didn't put his legs up when the runner got up to start running it wouldn't have been called. 8:46 What is that? Looks like tape that got stuck to the glove.
Definitely agree on the first comment. Used to umpire minor league when I was younger and my initial reaction when I saw it was that he interfered with the runner
Um one word Landeskog, he’s not offside in 2019 that’s the worst call in playoff history still haunts me to this very day or Reeves only getting 2 and Kadri getting 8
@@niwempleh Too many players were faking injuries for timeouts. Its in the last 2 minutes of the game, they blew all 3 timeouts and their injury timeout with no penalty or change of possession resulting from the play so its a 5 yard penalty. These are extremely rare because they try to side for player safety on most plays
That Warriors game was crazy! I remember that along with the Golden Tate "catch" that had to be reviewed by the booth. This is EXACTLY why I absolutely LOVE sports. The anticipation!!! Great upload!👍🏾💯
2nd example was an atrocity by Jim Joyce that ruined a perfect game. A true rarity in baseball history. Less than 50 have been pitched in 150+ years. Jim was featured on 2 other clips here also.
And you know how rare that is because if you do the math, 150 years of every team playing so many games it makes everyone hate the sport... that's insane!
a whole lot of youtubers n such have did a full on deep dive in uncovering evidence into the Astros cheating during a good majority of that years season, with usage of cameras and on queue sounds n calls to tell the batters what pitch the pitcher was going to throw (ie what signs meant what) and basically the batter would know what pitch was next, what was going to be a ball, n what to and not to hit. during most of the games in that season if you listen when the Astros are at bat you can hear what sounds like a big plastic trashbin get bashed once, or twice, just before a pitch and see that they swing on them but no sound, no swing.
Yeah, I totally understand 10 second run offs, but they should NOT happen when the refs are the ones who need more time doing stuff. Ref calls a time out because of an injured player, absolutely got it, refs call a time out because they want to look at it under instant replay, you can't penalize the offense for it. The rule of a run off is based on the offense having no time outs and the offense does something that would have stopped clock, no referees not being able to do their job properly and needing some help.
@@GettinThereGolf Either way the whole "need to maintain control throughout the process with falling down" is such a clown definition, if they're standing and not falling and bobble the ball after crossing they cross the goal line it's a TD, somehow going to the ground makes it different.
@@Mike__B because if you bobble it while standing, you will eventually get possession of the ball. If you bobbled it going to ground, you presumably wouldve used the ground to catch the ball which is and should be illegal.
Dez made another motion or act but undoubtedly not in the end zone. Where as Calvin also made another motion or act but was inside end zone. The rule is specific, making an act or motion towards the endozne is a separate act and can only apply to a caught ball. So dezs catch is much more unclear. Where as a few of these are in the end zone. Horrible consistency
I love how there is a rule in the NFL where if the other team is out of timeouts with 10 seconds left in the game you can just throw an axe at the qbs head and win
That would draw a flag and the game can't end on a play that resulted in a penalty against the defense. Luckily the writers of the NFL rulebook thought about it more than you have.
How does this have 77 likes? You might win the battle if you intentionally hurt someone but that will catch up to you later when someone gets you back. On top, they have defensive penalties that can’t end game on that.
I agree with that call.. it's above the post, which should count as no good imo. The last angle they showed makes it look like it was in but the first clip shows the true position of the ball.
@@47streetcop96 I think it comes down to if the ref sees the ball sticking out the side when it's above the post. They can be good going over the post.
This I'm sure is an infuriating way to lose but replays showed he was down by contact short of the goal line. Had this been called correctly by the refs on the initial play then maybe they get up to the line and get a play off or maybe not. But I think that's the part I would have a problem with. Now, to the naked eye, it's hard to see that that's not a touchdown without replay, so I can't really be mad that they missed it initially. I wish there was a better way to do a common sense application for the 10 second runoff here, that shouldn't have decided the game, but that's what the rule stated and I think the refs hands were tied. Just a really shitty situation.
But the officials didn’t need a timeout Mike Evans and the Bucs did…Mike either wouldn’t have been able to get lined up or off the field in time to snap the ball
So after a few more clips I seen the lions play so I’m assuming now that’s the play you’re talking about and I mean the lions didn’t have a timeout right? If not then I mean yeah they wouldn’t have had enough time so idk how much it would’ve changed things
Lions could have their own list. Packers lions with the phantom hands to the face calls and even further back, pick up the flag and have dez run onto the field
So glad I'm not a lion fan. I mean damn talk about getting fucked over. When the hawks went to the super bowl the first against Pittsburgh and having 20 calls against the hawks in the first half was enough for me to kill my TV. I can't imagine being a lions fan sorry guys that real rough.
Thierry Henry, great soccer player but that handball was hard to watch because it cost Ireland a World Cup appearance and that is rare indeed. What I totally disagree with is the abuse he and his family got afterwards. No game is worth death threats or racial abuse. I, as an Irish man, forgive you Thierry, go in peace.
The thing I find funny aswell is that people act as if that wasn't a goal, that Ireland would've qualified. The goal did happen in the 2nd leg in the 103rd min making it 2-1 to France, but if it didn't it still looked like France was going to score, and if they didn't it was still going to be 50/50 in the penalty shootout. Just hurts to get knocked out by a blatant cheating.
5:38 pause and use period and comma to frame advance / frame backstep. Kick is just over the pipe, but on the outside side. I always hate that they only show the center camera in slow motion which makes it look more controversial than it is.
The genesis for all of those controversial NFL catch/no-catch calls is the Calvin Johnson TD catch against the Bears that was overruled. That single play set the precedent for over a decade to come. The Dez Bryant call happened because of the Calvin Johnson call. The NFL has somewhat recently wiped its hands clean of the burdensome Calvin Johnson precedent. They've officially disowned it, meaning that plays like the Dez Bryant play are now a catch going forward.
I don't care how the rule reads. Getting full control of the ball with two hands, taking two steps, then putting the ball securely in one hand, and then landing on the butt before leaving the ball on the ground, and then called a touchdown on the field. How could it have been called incomplete and overturned by any rational person? It was a touchdown by any standard.
@@davidrichards3921 tbh coming from a bears fan he did catch the ball and got both legs in before reaching out and hitting the ball in the ground... doesnt make sense when players on the red zone jump and only stretch the ball to the line is called a td but fumbles in mid air with no feet touching the ground ... idk some rules are dumb ...
With that point, we can also still be real. Everyone can tell Middleton was desperate to stop the game winning run that was obviously going to score, so he kicked his legs up behind him. A smart play play on his behalf. Maybe they dont call it and they survive the inning. But without that interference, its an easy run.
@@jomama969 no, controversial means it sparks controversy. And if the other teams fans disagree with a call then by definition it is a controversial moment. However, I agree that the call was correct
Baseball is just fucking stupid for not allowing them to review an umpire's call. Like, this isn't 1930 anymore, there are dozens of HD cameras recording every millisecond of the game. There's absolutely no reason why they can't be used to discredit an umpire's shitty call.
@@JewandGreek by the runners and catchers reaction that can tell you all u need to know. The catcher wouldn’t be arguing if he knows he didn’t tag him and the runner thought he was out
Can anyone explain what's happening at 8:29? The batter for Houston taps the top of the bat and I first I thought he was checking to see if he had picked up a corked bat, but then they focus on something that is stuck to his hand. Thank you for anyone that can explain and/or give me some context.
looked like a tiny band aid or piece of tape. idk why they showed this at least without context. i guess they was trying to show something towards the astros sign stealing conspiracy
I’ve seen from previous comments on other videos that people still think that this call was wrong. Of course with me being a red birds fan I was real happy with that call. Still the Red Sox beat my Cardinals in the series. Most people probably forget in the long term run that this was game 3 of the World Series. St. Louis hosted games 3, 4, and 5. Boston would host the first two games and the last two. This means that even if Boston won this game, they would be celebrating in Busch and not at Fenway if the results remain the same. And if you look at the four World Series that Boston has won since Bambino curse was broken, three out of the four have been won on the road.
Because the ball was tipped at the line scrimmage, impossible to be pass interference. The missed call on that play was the offensive lineman clearly holding.
You need context for some of these. Like the Detroit Tigers one where it's the 9th inning and 2 outs and the ball is hit to Cabrera and he throws to the pitcher who's covering first, that blown call screwed Galaraga out of a PERFECT GAME! Not just a no hitter but a freaking perfect game!!! If only they had video reviews at that time Smh
@@ScottAMelton The Astros player had a wire/mic underneath his jersey hense why he told his teammates "dont remove my jersey" because they were cheating.

@@tntkop Uh oh, I think somebody's daddy is an official. Who gets that defensive over officiating? Wouldn't want daddy's reputation tarnished or he might not get to work the little league games and get free nachos.
the play doesnt end as soon as a foot or a knee touches the ground on a catch attempt. The receiver must maintain control of the ball through the ENTIRE PROCESS of the catch. When Dez' arm hit the ground, the ball popped loose. Therefore, no catch.
@@direcorbie no. When he stretched out for the goal line, that was a football move. He possessed the ball three steps then dove for the td. This catch is completely different than the megatron no catch. Dez made an act with the football. Also, the ball was never seen to hit the ground. More likely ball lodged upward when his forearm hit the ground.
4:50 The guy at 3rd raised his legs when the baserunner tried to advance and made him fall over, so yeah, it is interference and he gets a free base for it.
I was all ready to disagree with you, but having watched that in .25 speed then yes, the guy at third appeared to most definitely raise his legs. Stuff life this wins arguments.
I was in a bar with a bunch of seahawks fans with that clear Packers interception. After the call and the "win" not one of the seahawk fans were even celebrating. They all knew. Lol.
That Dez Bryant one is very tricky: The rule was that you had to maintain possession ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND- which Bryant did NOT have! The controversial part is that Bryant on the way down REACHES for the goal line with his left hand, with the ball in his hand- so isnt that a "football move" ? Dont know if a football move can be made while on the way down to the ground.
Hey I guess he did make the right call with third base obstruction in the World Series, so cancels it out I guess lol But really, being an ump is a difficult job, and they need supplements. He shouldn’t be fired, there should be a better review system for when umps may have a lapse in judgement for it to be remedied, as well as better metrics for determining umps effectiveness in the majors (cough cough Angel Hernández cough cough), although that won’t happen with the MLBUA’s current stance. At least Galarraga took it really well as well.
I mean he acknowledges it was wrong, but yeah probably not a good idea to have exclusively 40+ year old men call stuff that happens that fast with their eyes

Jim Joyce got emotional apologizing to him and idk anyone who would have handled getting a perfect game taken away from them better than that Detroit pitcher, he's all class
Probably worked out better in Galarraga's favor. Everyone knows he "almost" got the perfect game, while most of us don't remember more than one or two of the pitchers that have actually thrown one.
13:40 I will never agree with a ruling that continuation of a play can determine a completed pass. In this case, he had possession while crossing the goal line. The exact instant that the ball crosses the goal line it is a touchdown. The same with Calvin Johnson and the Lions against the Bears. It was a touchdown and the rule change that led to these idiotic calls should have been abolished long ago.
The rule actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it because it allows refs to make consistent calls. On top of that it makes the game more competitive as you have to make sure you have control the entire time
@@lbookstaff123 It was much simpler when all you had to do was have two feet down, in bounds with control at that instant and the ground could never, ever cause a fumble.
@@rongilbert4025 Actually after reading through the rules, I definitely see where you're coming from. The rule makes sense to me that he didn't survive the ground, however that all happened after he passed the goal line. Within the rules it says anything that happens after the ball crosses the goal line does not matter and the result is a touchdown. Granted I am reading the rules for 2021 so maybe they were different but I don't think so. So I am still in favor of the concept of surviving the ground, however after some research I think this particular play should have been a touchdown. Weird how they were so focused on surviving the ground and basically forgot about one of the most basic football rules. Obviously I am no analyst so I could definitely be misunderstanding something but it just seems kind of weird.
2:36 Golden Tate did score the touchdown. A simultaneous catch goes to the offense, always. However, and I say this as a Seahawks fan, the replacement refs missed Tate pushing off on the defender #37. That should’ve been called as offensive PI, negating the play, and ending the game with a win for the Packers. After this game, the league renegotiated with the referees union and the replacement refs were gone.
@@humanhighlight1 really? if you actually watch the catch you will see a one handed catch by Tate which is a very legal catch and his hand never came off the ball. If you don't think that should count as a catch then I would suggest you take away ALL one-handed catches and see how you fare at that point. But the miss of the push-off penalty is a better argument for not getting the touchdown.
@@grahamdamberger7130 there are so many PI penalties not called especially in Hail Mary passes... there are also PI calls that shouldn't have been called but they are just an unfortunate part of the game though the NFL tries to make it right.

astros banged on trashcans to let the batter know what pitch was coming. altuve was the only person who didnt use it and would even get mad at his teammates when they banged on a trashcan while he was up. when altuve rounds 3rd he says "no camisa" (no shirt) because he had a half done tattoo on his chest, but people thought he was speaking english and said "i got a piece on me" referring to a buzzer which does the same thing as the trash cans but without being noticeable. altuve got A LOT of undeserved hate for this
I watch a lot of sports videos. If I had a nickel for every time I'm seen Cabrera grab his crotch at the end of that perfect game that wasn't... Well. My pants would fall down. What a robbery. On the other hand, probably the most well known perfect game there will ever be, because it wasn't scored as one.
A few weeks after this it was reported that the Astros cheated in the 2017 season by using cameras to steal signs. One of the alleged ways they relayed the signs to the batters was through an electronic buzzing bandage. While there was no definitive evidence that they cheated in 2019, there’s a lot of circumstantial evidence for it in this clip. Altuve tells his teammates as he comes home not to rip off his jersey (perhaps exposing said bandage), something that he’s been fine with in the past. The clip didn’t show this, but after he scores, he runs into the clubhouse to removes his jersey and put on the “Astros AL Champs” shirt instead of just changing on the field like everyone else. In an interview after the game, he was straight up asked “Why didn’t you want your jersey ripped off?” He gave an awkward response with multiple answers. Fun fact: the interviewer, Ian Rappoport, was the same guy who published the article on the Astros cheating. He was already working on it at this point. He knew something was fishy about this game. There also some baseball logic that doesn’t add up. Chapman is a fastball pitcher. He threw fastballs ~60% of the time in 2019. Altuve is a fastball hitter. He hit ~.320 vs fastballs compared to ~.260 vs breaking pitches in 2019. The count is 2-1, a situation in which a fastball pitcher will likely throw a fastball. I’d be waiting to jump on a fastball if I was Altuve. Even if he throws an off speed pitch in the zone, I’ve still got a strike to give. I’m supposed to believe in that situation Altuve just so happened to be sitting on that slider? Bull. Shit.

The commentators saying “why is he safe?” always hurts to hear. They knew how sad that call was for Gallaraga
Please explain.. I can't figure out what happent :D Sorry - I'm European.
@@PlayBoye86 The guy who caught the ball touched the base before the runner, so the runner should be out. However, the referee called him safe for some reason.
@@PlayBoye86 and he was throwing a perfect game meaning no hits or no base runners throughout the entire game, all he needed was the guy to be called out and he would be etched in the history books. Throughout the entirety of the MLB, there have only been 23 perfect games
Everybody talks about the bad call to end the game, but not the bad calls that gave him the no hitter in the first place. Selective memory I guess.
Even the runner knew he was out he put his hands on his head in disbelief that he was called safe.
I love how on the thumbnail, all he’s trying to give the ref is a single dollar
maybe the ref didn’t take his original offer so he had to raise the price lol

@@minxcards3779 it was a bandaid with a buzzer in it, it told him that a slider was coming, there’s no way someone’s guessing 1 strike slider against the fastest pitcher to ever throw a baseball and hit a home run on a ball a foot and a half out of the strike zone

Im pretty sure PI wasnt reviewable at the time, for some reason
@@PinkyLov3r yeah it wasn’t, this call was one of the catalysts that made PI reviewable the next season
Not even a Cowboys fan but Dez Bryant: that was a catch.
But he was inch’s short still a turnover
It was 4th and 2 and he got alotmore yards than that
But def a catch
Believe the ruling is or was the ground cannot cause a fumble. So he came down with the ball but the ground knocked it from his hand so should be a catch.
@@Tyevic but he already had more than two feet down ruling it as a catch, that’s a rule if you’re diving while catching it
Having been in New Orleans watching that Rams/Saints "no call" pass interference, I can tell you that the referees made it a point to leave the stadium VERY quickly (and quietly) after the game. Some lawsuits were actually filed by fans against the NFL for damages (loss of vendor revenue or something like that), deficiency of product, and a couple of other oddball suits.
Actually, this one is closer than it looks! The contact from the corner is NOT as soon as it looks, and the ball is PASSING the 2 players just about simultaneous to the contact! It only looks like it was way before because the pass is thrown to where the receiver would have caught it A FEW YARDS IN FRONT OF HIM... But either way, there should have been a hit on a defenseless receiver call!😋
Betting money lost.
@@irar4665 no the fuck it isn't.

It is my firm belief that every single call or close moment could be subject to review and any call made by a ref can be overturned in all sports.
Human error is way too common for ref's eyesight and judgment to be the only factor.
@Kush Hazard i was just mentioning to my ma about how its wierd, you see on tv how legitimately ANGRY and MAD these coaches, players, and fans get over some of these calls, and how some calls could change a whole mans career or even his life - im surprised you don't see MUCH more news reports that go like this: "A referee for the NBA - who worked last weeks hawks game against the knicks, the same ref who made the very questionable game changing call, was found dead in his apartment this morning; authorities at first reported it as a break-in/robbery gone wrong, but the coroners report has just revealed that his death has been ruled a suicide... More at 6 - in other news, an umpire for the MLB has gone missing under mysterious circumstances after suddenly calling in sick for a game; he's the 4th umpire in the majors this season to disappear."
Vegas book would like a word with you..

My opinion is ever since replay became a thing it voids the need for a ref
@@officerlarry2686 Well, I still think refs are important because someone needs to make the obvious calls on the field. Game needs to be monitored and refs do a pretty good job, I just don't think their word should be treated as gospel in any sport.

@@drewbrees4288 sir I have been watching football since I was 11 years old and I'm 22 now so I know what I'm talking about
I love how Detroit is represented three times in one video about controversial calls.
For the Record:
Tigers, Galarraga has a perfect game going... that would have been the final out.
Lions, Tate catch: This one the officials got right and followed the rules correctly, just a stupid rule. It's entirely possible that the team could have gotten lined up and run a play to spike the ball in the 8 seconds that were left.
Lions, Calvin catch: That's a catch.
Should've included the wild card no PI call against Dallas too.
The rule of a catch is that you have to survive the ground. Calvin Johnson couldn't survive it on both feet, so it's not a catch... yet. Then you have to go to the fact if he survives a crash with the ground after that, which he obviously doesn't. Glad you're not a ref because you're worse than Jim Joyce screwing Galaragga out of a perfect game.
@@chrissamarotto nope...you, obviously, did not see where perriman initiated the contact against hitchens, by tugging his facemask and PULLING him in.
the call sequence was bizarre to the point where it's hard to believe that it was called CORRECTLY...the ball was not catchable.
@@TehGamesaver you are delusional
@@TehGamesaver that is 1000% a catch. 2 feet, controlled, and still controlled when his ass hit the ground. No question that's a catch
I would have to say the Seahawks "Touchdown" is probably by far one of the most controversial moments in Sports History. They showed that play from multiple angles for like 20 minutes that day, and I still could NOT find a reason to believe that was a Touchdown, by any stretch of the meaning.
Rigged
I could've sworn I watched an interview of someone where they claimed a ref admitted to him that they were told to call it a touchdown because the Seahawks fans would cause major riots in and outside the stadium and would've put people in danger. If I find that interview again, I'll link it here.
The fail Mary was the worst. How do you call that a TD when the ball was in the Packer players bread basket. That play kept the Packers from getting the first seed in the playoffs that year and a first round bye.
Not more controversial than robbing Galarraga of a perfect game by a hugely blown call at first.
The reason it's a touchdown is because the rule for who "wins" a contested catch between the offense and the defense is shitty and doesn't take into account who has better control of the ball. By rule, if a player from each team is "fighting" over a catch, the catch goes to the offense, no matter what. Even though Seattle's WR barely has his hands on it and it's clear the GB defender has it secured in his arms, the ball is, by rule, in possession of the WR. The NFL's rules suck ass.
9:42 How the call should've been:
"Tamp Bay has an injured played on the field. They do not have any timeouts. By rule, there is a 10 second run-off."
"Please set the game-clock to 1 second."
I'm a Browns fan, and I even know that should've been called like that. Mike clearly called for help with 12-13 seconds left yet the Refs decided to let the clock run down to 8 seconds.
Edit: Switched "turnouts" to "timeouts"
The ref almost looked apologetic when making the call.
@@flames24lightning Yeah 😂
@@flames24lightning then he should’ve corrected in the first place, honestly
Ah didn't pick up on that, I wondered why the controversy there, I was like "he's injured, no timeouts, there's 10 seconds of run off, only 8 seconds left that's game" That said what are the rules as far as when an injury time out is taken? There's some level of judgment as to if the player is injured or "injured" or just slow getting up.
@@Mike__B When the player is lying on the field or calling for the ref, the Refs are supposed to call an Injury timeout.
The trainers were on the field before 10 seconds, there should've been an Injury timeout.
"You can't go to replay to determine who caught the ball, so that call has to be made on the field"
WHY?
your just mad seahawks on top packers are so washed
@@keithtorgesen9362 is it really washed if the call is definitively wrong?
They might not have Been able to tell who had it, it was obviously packers ball even if they didn’t go to replay lol
I was confused too, because I’m big NBA guy and that’s ridiculous, yeah we have $30,000 high res camera’s but no we’re gonna leave that to 3 refs who probably haven’t had an eye examination since kindergarten
The team has the option to challenge.
Imagine how much excitement would be lost, and how abused the system could get if after every play they had to replay it to make a decision. Hell how many actual fouls occur in sports now even with refs missing the majority of them.
Not saying it’s right, and something has to change.
My favorite thing about the “Fail Mary” was that the NFL realized how bad the replacement officials were so they ended the lockout with the regular officials the following week. Now look where we are with officiating. 😂
Refs r just there to do their job sports r rigged and scripted I don't know how people don't understand this yet... Its so obvious with watching any sport its ridiculous. Refs r told what to call and when simple as that.
It was literally 2 days later the real officials came back
Some context for the altuve clip. This was before a major sign stealing controversy emerged that revealed for the two years prior to that play, the astros had been stealing pitching signs by watching the televised broadcast and banging on trash cans when the pitch was offspeed.
There were rumors that because they hadn’t been caught yet but there were no cans heard in 2019, that they might’ve switched to more covert methods (like a buzzer under altuve’s shirt). This was only fueled by altuve telling his team not to rip off his shirt and dodging the question after the game.
No further investigations took place, and the 2019 astros World Series title still stands (much to the chagrin of Yankees fans)
Thank you for this. I’m not familiar with many scandalous moments in baseball. I was confused with what was going on.
Thanks, was wondering
Yeah crazy how they got away with it. I don't understand how their title can't be taken away.
Uh, I think you mean 2019 Washington Nationals title still stands :) Astros lost game 7
Thanks for clarifying…I knew it had to have something to do with the cheating scandal, but I couldn’t tell what he was saying.
I love how flustered the refs get when the chorus of boos rains down upon them like they somehow weren't expecting it.
Still annoying
Trust me you'd choke in the moment too. You have never had 100,000 people booing you before. I've had a couple thousand while I was officiating and you can lose focus quickly
That must make them nervous lol. Fans could like throw their food and drinks on them or whatevrr
@@JeremiahGodard some twisted cans or ice also which is so dangerous
Yeah, like the refs don't know they are rigging calls to win a bet. If they thought no one would notice, they're stupid.
The Durant missed call was horrible but it didn’t ruin anything like the first two because harden hit a game winner right after that
i can not put into words how fucking furious i was watching that live, just to have james harden fucking ice it in their 2 best defenders faces, and get fouled on the shot. from seething in anger to pure joy just like that. man, i love sports lmao

Bcz both feet weren’t on ground.
Stay mad. Warriors CHAMPS 🎉
@@kellar_foster0442 funny cause literally the year after, the NFL literally said it was a catch lmao
What is the controversy in the play at 3:18? (walk-off HR)
i can only assume this is the same year the astros were caught cheating. Can look that up, but basically they were hitting loud drums signaling what the pitch is going to be.
I still can't stand to watch the joyce call at first. Robbing a pitcher of a perfect game is sickening.
Z
It's even worse than Johan Santana being given a mulligan during his no hitter during which he actually allowed one base hit to Carlos Beltran.
which is why MLB should be allowed to have replays
There have only been 23 perfect games in the last 150 years
It’s horrible. If Galaraga went on to be a cy young winner and a world champ, played 10 years, fine. But the dude was a below average PRO pitcher (obviously still amazing), and this would’ve been his career moment. If I were mlb I would honor him with 24th perfect game cause that’s BS. Last play of game, not like a first inning call.
Romo's voice when he realized James wasn't going to score for Pittsburgh tells you all you need to know about the catch rules in the NFL.
I swear I just waved buhbye to the NFL when Bryant’s was a no catch. Just became a farce at that point
The fact that Dez’s catch was ruled incomplete tells you all you need to know about the catch rules in the NFL.
@@raran44 but dez was falling and didn't keep the ball in his possession. He didn't make a "football move" so he wasn't established as a runner. James on the other hand caught it and then reached out to make it a TD. He only lost possession because of the "football move" he did, which shouldn't have mattered because if you have possession of the ball when your cross the line it's an automatic TD

Great video! These calls were really controversial and most were wrong. Thanks for putting this together
Watching this makes me realize how lazy refs are. Most of these calls were at the end of the games when the officials are ready to go home. It amazes me how there is also zero consequences for refs, and even calling them out results in fines for the players.
I think you underestimate the power of gambling.
The calls were at the end because this is the most controversial call in sports, and usually people don't care as much about calls that don't change immediatly the result... Come on man, don't generalize like that, there's no grand "ref conspiracy", they're just humans tasked with a difficult job. Moreover thos bad calls get replayed extensively, but do you ever see a compilation of the millions of correct calls?
Thats like saying a player who misses game winning shot is lazy because he wants to go home. Of course the refs want to get calls right, its just not a perfect system.
Thats why there is need for refs. Got high speed cameras. Only purpose for refs in pro leagues these days is to mess up calls.
If you just look up statistics for miscalls by refs you would see they are pretty good at their jobs. Tens of thousands of sports games happen a week and the large majority are major controversary free. Your just watching a highlight reel of bad calls you goof.
The Calvin Johnson catch was literally two feet then a knee than a hand all while mainting possession. Worst blown call in this video
Jim Joyce robbing Gallaraga of a perfect game is easily the worst in this video. By a mile. There's only been 23 in the history of baseball and that poor guy got robbed of one.
In the post game interview, Jim Joyce saw that he got the call wrong, and he looked like he was gonna cry.
@@EvboiMC out of all of these, I know that call kept it from being one of the greatest pitching games of all time, but I actually give Jim credit because he came out and said he made the wrong call and then apologized to Gallaraga the next game.
Plenty of these officials/refs/umps would tell you that they made the right call even in the face of a blatant mistake just because that’s the precedent set before them. I’m glad Jim stood up for his wrong call.
2 feet, a knee then a hand is all irrelevant. Johnson still has to maintain control of the ball all the way to the ground, which he did not do.
@@direcorbie Bullshit

2nd example was an atrocity by Jim Joyce that ruined a perfect game. A true rarity in baseball history. Less than 50 have been pitched in 150+ years. Jim was featured on 2 other clips here also.
And you know how rare that is because if you do the math, 150 years of every team playing so many games it makes everyone hate the sport... that's insane!
I don’t get the astros one
cheating
a whole lot of youtubers n such have did a full on deep dive in uncovering evidence into the Astros cheating during a good majority of that years season, with usage of cameras and on queue sounds n calls to tell the batters what pitch the pitcher was going to throw (ie what signs meant what) and basically the batter would know what pitch was next, what was going to be a ball, n what to and not to hit. during most of the games in that season if you listen when the Astros are at bat you can hear what sounds like a big plastic trashbin get bashed once, or twice, just before a pitch and see that they swing on them but no sound, no swing.
14:00 The Lions got screwed because of a Referees mistake! That rule should be changed!
you could say this for a lot of games lol
Yeah, I totally understand 10 second run offs, but they should NOT happen when the refs are the ones who need more time doing stuff. Ref calls a time out because of an injured player, absolutely got it, refs call a time out because they want to look at it under instant replay, you can't penalize the offense for it. The rule of a run off is based on the offense having no time outs and the offense does something that would have stopped clock, no referees not being able to do their job properly and needing some help.
I’m a Vikings fan who watched that game live. Even I was pissed!
I don't think those are referee mistakes... It's called corruption .
The umpire who called the runner safe in the 19tg inning was like, “this game is taking too long. I got places to be”
It was the right call
Dez’s was a catch. So was Calvins.
Roger Goodell is a clown!!!
i feel like Calvins was alot worse than Dez's
@@GettinThereGolf Either way the whole "need to maintain control throughout the process with falling down" is such a clown definition, if they're standing and not falling and bobble the ball after crossing they cross the goal line it's a TD, somehow going to the ground makes it different.
So was Jesse James
@@Mike__B because if you bobble it while standing, you will eventually get possession of the ball. If you bobbled it going to ground, you presumably wouldve used the ground to catch the ball which is and should be illegal.
Dez made another motion or act but undoubtedly not in the end zone. Where as Calvin also made another motion or act but was inside end zone. The rule is specific, making an act or motion towards the endozne is a separate act and can only apply to a caught ball. So dezs catch is much more unclear. Where as a few of these are in the end zone. Horrible consistency
I love how there is a rule in the NFL where if the other team is out of timeouts with 10 seconds left in the game you can just throw an axe at the qbs head and win
That would draw a flag and the game can't end on a play that resulted in a penalty against the defense. Luckily the writers of the NFL rulebook thought about it more than you have.
How does this have 77 likes? You might win the battle if you intentionally hurt someone but that will catch up to you later when someone gets you back. On top, they have defensive penalties that can’t end game on that.

I'm not expert in football
I understood majority of the situations but not here
What exactly is the problem for the referee at this moment ?
how the fuck was this not a touchdown 🤦🏻♀️
This I'm sure is an infuriating way to lose but replays showed he was down by contact short of the goal line. Had this been called correctly by the refs on the initial play then maybe they get up to the line and get a play off or maybe not. But I think that's the part I would have a problem with.
Now, to the naked eye, it's hard to see that that's not a touchdown without replay, so I can't really be mad that they missed it initially. I wish there was a better way to do a common sense application for the 10 second runoff here, that shouldn't have decided the game, but that's what the rule stated and I think the refs hands were tied. Just a really shitty situation.
One thing EVERY NFL fan can agree on, is if Tom Brady throw it, it would be ruled a touchdown.
Got robbed at the end too
I love how you can end a game with a 10 second run off, because the officials need the timeout…
But the officials didn’t need a timeout Mike Evans and the Bucs did…Mike either wouldn’t have been able to get lined up or off the field in time to snap the ball
So after a few more clips I seen the lions play so I’m assuming now that’s the play you’re talking about and I mean the lions didn’t have a timeout right? If not then I mean yeah they wouldn’t have had enough time so idk how much it would’ve changed things
Lions could have their own list. Packers lions with the phantom hands to the face calls and even further back, pick up the flag and have dez run onto the field
It is the Lions way, hence the Detroit vs Everybody brand.
We got cheated with the Dallas cowboys play too
So glad I'm not a lion fan. I mean damn talk about getting fucked over. When the hawks went to the super bowl the first against Pittsburgh and having 20 calls against the hawks in the first half was enough for me to kill my TV. I can't imagine being a lions fan sorry guys that real rough.

The genesis for all of those controversial NFL catch/no-catch calls is the Calvin Johnson TD catch against the Bears that was overruled. That single play set the precedent for over a decade to come. The Dez Bryant call happened because of the Calvin Johnson call.
The NFL has somewhat recently wiped its hands clean of the burdensome Calvin Johnson precedent. They've officially disowned it, meaning that plays like the Dez Bryant play are now a catch going forward.
I don't care how the rule reads. Getting full control of the ball with two hands, taking two steps, then putting the ball securely in one hand, and then landing on the butt before leaving the ball on the ground, and then called a touchdown on the field. How could it have been called incomplete and overturned by any rational person? It was a touchdown by any standard.
@@davidrichards3921 tbh coming from a bears fan he did catch the ball and got both legs in before reaching out and hitting the ball in the ground... doesnt make sense when players on the red zone jump and only stretch the ball to the line is called a td but fumbles in mid air with no feet touching the ground ... idk some rules are dumb ...
The Red Sox-Cardinals isn’t controversial at all. Interference with the runner can be intentional or unintentional and he’ll still get his base.
With that point, we can also still be real. Everyone can tell Middleton was desperate to stop the game winning run that was obviously going to score, so he kicked his legs up behind him. A smart play play on his behalf. Maybe they dont call it and they survive the inning. But without that interference, its an easy run.
yeah that’s what i’m saying kevin
"Controversial" doesn't mean "incorrect"
@@masonshackelford285 you’re right. Controversial means there’s grey area. There’s no grey area in that one.
@@jomama969 no, controversial means it sparks controversy. And if the other teams fans disagree with a call then by definition it is a controversial moment. However, I agree that the call was correct
The way the ref makes the call as soon as MJ says yea he had both hands "I believe you Mike" 😂😂 the die hard fan came out!
You fill an entire reel with wild shit that’s happened to the Detroit Lions.
Same for the bucs and browns.
Baseball is just fucking stupid for not allowing them to review an umpire's call. Like, this isn't 1930 anymore, there are dozens of HD cameras recording every millisecond of the game. There's absolutely no reason why they can't be used to discredit an umpire's shitty call.
After 20 innings I woulda called that runner safe too😂
I think the call was correct. It looks like he missed the tag.
@@JewandGreek by the runners and catchers reaction that can tell you all u need to know. The catcher wouldn’t be arguing if he knows he didn’t tag him and the runner thought he was out
@@jonathanbarnes7349 watch the foolish baseball video on that call, he does a good video showing why it was actually a very close call
Hell, I'd have called him safe even if he went from third base to the stands to eat a hot dog before walking to home plate.
now the interference one I agree with, may not have been intentional but he did impede for at least a second that runner at third
Can anyone explain what's happening at 8:29? The batter for Houston taps the top of the bat and I first I thought he was checking to see if he had picked up a corked bat, but then they focus on something that is stuck to his hand. Thank you for anyone that can explain and/or give me some context.
I was wondering the same thing but I don't think anyone even knows. They could put sticky substances on there gloves what would a peice of tape do
@@halbialeck So something along the lines of Pine Tar?
@@tortillajackson6007 I agree. It was so small. Looked like a tiny band aid. Really hoping someone can fill me in.
looked like a tiny band aid or piece of tape. idk why they showed this at least without context. i guess they was trying to show something towards the astros sign stealing conspiracy
@WanderingGeezaButterfly thanks! I was confused about the shirt one too
I been a bears fan all my life and that Calvin Johnson call makes me sick. Dude made a damn good catch
What's the tape on the bat thing at like 8:27?
At 4:40, the reason he’s safe is because the runner was tripped by the 3rd baseman while making the turn. So they made the right call.
yes, "controversial" but they got it right. Obstruction!
Yes I agree don't know why they didn't think it wasn't obstruction
@@streetsareforpeople723 exactly
I’ve seen from previous comments on other videos that people still think that this call was wrong. Of course with me being a red birds fan I was real happy with that call. Still the Red Sox beat my Cardinals in the series. Most people probably forget in the long term run that this was game 3 of the World Series. St. Louis hosted games 3, 4, and 5. Boston would host the first two games and the last two. This means that even if Boston won this game, they would be celebrating in Busch and not at Fenway if the results remain the same. And if you look at the four World Series that Boston has won since Bambino curse was broken, three out of the four have been won on the road.
Kind of makes you sick watching teams get screwed. The NFL's "process of the catch" rule might be the worst rule in the history of organized sports.
Dez caught it
My favorite part of the Rams-Saints non-PI call is Coleman afterward looking around like, "Really, they're not going to call that? Hot damn!"
Because the ball was tipped at the line scrimmage, impossible to be pass interference. The missed call on that play was the offensive lineman clearly holding.
Holding!!!!! You must be a rams fan😂😂
I feel like every time Dez Bryant had made a great catch, it’s always been overturned lmao, I feel bad for him
This video brings back so many emotions.
13:36 for Tony Romo getting PTSD
"Y'all about to get screwed here."
Romo is a great announcer just weird sometimes....that was a TD
He’s was like, ooooohhhhhh…🤣 I remember shaking my head when I saw that play. Dallas fans know that oooohhhhh

Dez Bryant had 3 feet and 2 elbows down and then reached for the goal line but it's not a catch.
Then they say Johnsons catch is identical when it wasn't lol.
the play doesnt end as soon as a foot or a knee touches the ground on a catch attempt. The receiver must maintain control of the ball through the ENTIRE PROCESS of the catch. When Dez' arm hit the ground, the ball popped loose. Therefore, no catch.
@@direcorbie nfl said it was a catch then and now. They just didn’t want the cowboys in the championship game lol.
@@direcorbie no. When he stretched out for the goal line, that was a football move. He possessed the ball three steps then dove for the td. This catch is completely different than the megatron no catch. Dez made an act with the football. Also, the ball was never seen to hit the ground. More likely ball lodged upward when his forearm hit the ground.
4:50 The guy at 3rd raised his legs when the baserunner tried to advance and made him fall over, so yeah, it is interference and he gets a free base for it.
I was all ready to disagree with you, but having watched that in .25 speed then yes, the guy at third appeared to most definitely raise his legs. Stuff life this wins arguments.
Thanks for this!
I was in a bar with a bunch of seahawks fans with that clear Packers interception. After the call and the "win" not one of the seahawk fans were even celebrating. They all knew. Lol.
my fams all seahawks fans and we knew it was a int from the beginning we knew we got lucky af
@5:20 that's a good call, the third baseman clearly tries to block him from running. Slow it down.. He's trying so hard to trip him, twice!
Bet your a yankee fan lol
That dez bryant one gets me everytime. Idek how some of these refs/umps still have jobs lol
That Dez Bryant one is very tricky: The rule was that you had to maintain possession ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND- which Bryant did NOT have!
The controversial part is that Bryant on the way down REACHES for the goal line with his left hand, with the ball in his hand- so isnt that a "football move" ? Dont know if a football move can be made while on the way down to the ground.
Because sports are rigged
Jim joyce should’ve been fired after he blew Armando Galarraga's perfect game on what should have been the last out of the game
On a positive note. That will forever be remembered more than if he made the right call
Hey I guess he did make the right call with third base obstruction in the World Series, so cancels it out I guess lol
But really, being an ump is a difficult job, and they need supplements. He shouldn’t be fired, there should be a better review system for when umps may have a lapse in judgement for it to be remedied, as well as better metrics for determining umps effectiveness in the majors (cough cough Angel Hernández cough cough), although that won’t happen with the MLBUA’s current stance. At least Galarraga took it really well as well.
I mean he acknowledges it was wrong, but yeah probably not a good idea to have exclusively 40+ year old men call stuff that happens that fast with their eyes
I mean... other than that one incident (where he was really emotional when he apologized), he hasn’t really made any notable bad calls
You dont fire someone based on 1 call, especially if you're not going to fire Angel Hernandez for having 4 calls overturned on review in 1 game!
Ngl, I wasn't ready for this video. These terrible calls were driving me crazy 1/4 of the way in
Someone please explain the issue with homerun that sent the Astros to the World Series.

I’ll never forget one of the worst calls in nfl history with golden Tate and the lions would have made the playoffs that year if that game had been won
3:40 what was that About?
You know it's bad when even Joe Nathan says "Wow" after the ump called that pitch a strike..😂😂
Dez Bryant clearly caught that ball, it was secure in his hand and he took 2 steps and fell. that is an easy call and they messed it up.
Totally. As he's going down he's palmed the ball and when he hits the ground, it doesn't even budge.
@@shavedleggs5390 it did move a little bit but by that point it was already a catch.
@@anderson74 I think as he's trying to get up from the ground, the pushes with his hands but let's go of the ball, (assuming because he doesn't want to roll his wrist if he doesn't let go of the ball).
So did Calvin Johnson
@@gymshoe23 So did Jesse James. Under today's VASTLY superior rules, each one would have been called correctly. There was a period of real travesty for a while there. Those three are the most famous ones, but they were far from the only ones.
How could a call stand when a referee says. Touchdown and another referee says interception in the end zone
They reviewed it, replacement refs, and they just blew it.
@@jacobcoldiron5386 replay officials weren't replacements, but simultaneous possession wasn't reviewable anyway.

The Dez Bryant call was one of the worst in NFL history. Period.
The Dez Bryant call isn't a catch according to NFL rules and is a good call
Great list.. that Harden dunk they didnt count, his team actually ended up losing by 2 points.. and when KD was out of bounds Harden hit the game winning 3 on Draymond and Klay, I don't like either team but felt like justice to me haha and that Galaraga (sorry for spelling) perfect game against my Indians was ridiculous.. Jim Joyce got emotional apologizing to him and idk anyone who would have handled getting a perfect game taken away from them better than that Detroit pitcher, he's all class
Probably worked out better in Galarraga's favor. Everyone knows he "almost" got the perfect game, while most of us don't remember more than one or two of the pitchers that have actually thrown one.
@@JeffGoldblumsChest possibly, it was against my team too but in my book he had a perfect game, idc what the records say

@@BlanBlan19901990 never calling them that after they stole it from a roller skating team lol
13:40 I will never agree with a ruling that continuation of a play can determine a completed pass. In this case, he had possession while crossing the goal line. The exact instant that the ball crosses the goal line it is a touchdown. The same with Calvin Johnson and the Lions against the Bears. It was a touchdown and the rule change that led to these idiotic calls should have been abolished long ago.
The rule actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it because it allows refs to make consistent calls. On top of that it makes the game more competitive as you have to make sure you have control the entire time
@@lbookstaff123 It was much simpler when all you had to do was have two feet down, in bounds with control at that instant and the ground could never, ever cause a fumble.
@@rongilbert4025 Actually after reading through the rules, I definitely see where you're coming from. The rule makes sense to me that he didn't survive the ground, however that all happened after he passed the goal line. Within the rules it says anything that happens after the ball crosses the goal line does not matter and the result is a touchdown. Granted I am reading the rules for 2021 so maybe they were different but I don't think so. So I am still in favor of the concept of surviving the ground, however after some research I think this particular play should have been a touchdown. Weird how they were so focused on surviving the ground and basically forgot about one of the most basic football rules. Obviously I am no analyst so I could definitely be misunderstanding something but it just seems kind of weird.
you are wrong. The receiver must maintain control of the ball all the way to the ground, even if the ball crosses the plane.
Never seen you do Football (soccer) before, its nice to see
Facts that are true:
The sky is blue
I hate the cowboys
Dez caught it
2:36 Golden Tate did score the touchdown. A simultaneous catch goes to the offense, always. However, and I say this as a Seahawks fan, the replacement refs missed Tate pushing off on the defender #37. That should’ve been called as offensive PI, negating the play, and ending the game with a win for the Packers. After this game, the league renegotiated with the referees union and the replacement refs were gone.
Yes, I agree... except for the push off I have said the first part many times "simultaneous catch" is the key to the rules of the NFL
Golden Tate didn't catch it though. Jennings obviously had the pick and Tate just put his arms around the ball
@@humanhighlight1 really? if you actually watch the catch you will see a one handed catch by Tate which is a very legal catch and his hand never came off the ball. If you don't think that should count as a catch then I would suggest you take away ALL one-handed catches and see how you fare at that point. But the miss of the push-off penalty is a better argument for not getting the touchdown.
@@grahamdamberger7130 there are so many PI penalties not called especially in Hail Mary passes... there are also PI calls that shouldn't have been called but they are just an unfortunate part of the game though the NFL tries to make it right. There will always be disagreements as most fans want their team to win... me too but I take this as part of the game, just like running into a referee (not a penalty, although I think the refs should be penalized too for some of their calls) and losing the game from it... sucks
@@grahamdamberger7130 First, no such thing as an obvious call... and Second, the refs are human... we all get things wrong from time to time... I saw a perfect pitched baseball game ruined because the last out was very clearly incorrectly called... but it stood and the pitcher did not get his perfect game... all part of playing games with humans competing or judging over the games... part of the game... it sucks but gotta let it go... =D
3:18 May someone explain this one to me please?? I’m not too sure what happened here. Thank you 🙏🏾
I think the ball hit the green below the yellow "homerun" line. It shouldn't be ruled a homerun, maybe a double.
astros banged on trashcans to let the batter know what pitch was coming. altuve was the only person who didnt use it and would even get mad at his teammates when they banged on a trashcan while he was up. when altuve rounds 3rd he says "no camisa" (no shirt) because he had a half done tattoo on his chest, but people thought he was speaking english and said "i got a piece on me" referring to a buzzer which does the same thing as the trash cans but without being noticeable. altuve got A LOT of undeserved hate for this
Chapman had the best “I really screwed up this game” look on his face. Lol
Why was this in the controversial plays video? Threw what appeared to be a high outside breaking ball on 2 and 1. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
@@Power5 it’s because astros cheated.
I watch a lot of sports videos. If I had a nickel for every time I'm seen Cabrera grab his crotch at the end of that perfect game that wasn't... Well. My pants would fall down. What a robbery.
On the other hand, probably the most well known perfect game there will ever be, because it wasn't scored as one.
And Galarraga got a new car out of it
The Packers/Seahawks debacle needed to happen. It was the last straw of errors by the replacement refs that made the actual refs come back.
Are they any better though?
Can someone explain that 2019 ALCS Astro’s moment?
I wanna know too
A few weeks after this it was reported that the Astros cheated in the 2017 season by using cameras to steal signs. One of the alleged ways they relayed the signs to the batters was through an electronic buzzing bandage. While there was no definitive evidence that they cheated in 2019, there’s a lot of circumstantial evidence for it in this clip. Altuve tells his teammates as he comes home not to rip off his jersey (perhaps exposing said bandage), something that he’s been fine with in the past. The clip didn’t show this, but after he scores, he runs into the clubhouse to removes his jersey and put on the “Astros AL Champs” shirt instead of just changing on the field like everyone else. In an interview after the game, he was straight up asked “Why didn’t you want your jersey ripped off?” He gave an awkward response with multiple answers. Fun fact: the interviewer, Ian Rappoport, was the same guy who published the article on the Astros cheating. He was already working on it at this point. He knew something was fishy about this game.
There also some baseball logic that doesn’t add up. Chapman is a fastball pitcher. He threw fastballs ~60% of the time in 2019. Altuve is a fastball hitter. He hit ~.320 vs fastballs compared to ~.260 vs breaking pitches in 2019. The count is 2-1, a situation in which a fastball pitcher will likely throw a fastball. I’d be waiting to jump on a fastball if I was Altuve. Even if he throws an off speed pitch in the zone, I’ve still got a strike to give. I’m supposed to believe in that situation Altuve just so happened to be sitting on that slider? Bull. Shit.
@@SuperBrewcrew8 is that scandal also connected to the clip @8:25 where there's a bandage on the batters hand that looks like it came from the bat?
