Did New Orleans get screwed? Yep. Do I care? Nope. They got their Super Bowl when they beat up Favre with late hits THEN win a coin toss in OT, throw a bomb, get a pass interference call (that wasn't pass interference), and kick a FG. Another case of a team not even getting a chance to touch the ball in OT....just worse in that case because the Saints just needed to get in FG range. So I will never feel sorry for the Saints.
Don't forget the first down that shouldn't have been, when Chad Greenway knocked the ball loose from Pierre Thomas but the officials said Thomas maintained control. Or the play to Devery Henderson that set up the game-winning field goal. Or how there were THREE booth reviews on New Orleans' drive in OT, ALL of which went the Saints' way.
And I'm hearing Chiefs fans expressing their butt-hurt that Kansas City didn't get the ball in overtime. Let's not forget ... the NFL changed the rule where a field goal on the first possession can't win it -- BECAUSE OF THE SAINTS "VICTORY" OVER THE VIKINGS. I have no sympathy for you, Chiefs faithful (and that includes the millions who suddenly became Chiefs fans this weekend).
By the way, how amazing was Tony Romo yesterday on his calls, especially late in the game? The guy predicted play after play, based solely on what he saw when the quarterbacks were at the line. Makes you wonder why he couldn't win more as a player. Clearly the man knows the game, especially from the QB's point of view.
