Refs Got It Wrong!

No FRICKEN Duh!

Today the NFL apologized to the Vikings for taking away the touchdown catch yesterday by Visanthe Shiancoe.
This is what I wrote about that call yesterday:

2. Visanthe Shiancoe catches what to my judgement was a clear touchdown. By the time he landed his hands were under the ball. It was clear from the replay that the ball didn't move when he hit the ground, yet despite this visual evidence that it was a touchdown the ref reverses the call on the field, Vikes kick fieldgoal, thus 4 Vikings points were taken off the board.

The Vikes lost by 4 points and were well within field goal range with their last possession of the game. If the Green Bay touchdown that wasn't and the Vikings touchdown that was were handled correctly it's a Vikes victory even without a field goal at the end of the game.

Once again the Vikings Fan is screwed by the league.
