Horrible Call to Start the 4th game of the World Series

Longoria clearly tagged Rollins at the play to third base. Why don't they just use the damn instant replay for that. Should they use instant replays for big plays like that?

Faulkner, longtime NFL coach and executive, passes away at 82

Longtime pro football executive Jack Faulkner died Sunday night in Newport Beach, Calif., the St. Louis Rams announced on Monday. "This is a sad day because we lost Jack Faulkner last night, who I have known since I was 8 years old," Rams owner and chairman Chip Rosenbloom said. "I feel he is a part of the Rams family, our family, and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I can't overstate the significance that he has played in the history of the Rams. We lost one of the great connections to our past." Few in pro football have experienced the success and the longevity of Faulkner, a native of Youngstown, Ohio, who joined the Rams in 1955 as a member of first-year coach Sid Gillman's staff and spent the next 53 years in pro football. Forty-three of those were with the Rams. Faulkner coached many positions and held many coaching and executive roles and was one of the few still living who had coached in the NFL and American Football League. Faulkner was the defensive backfield coach of the 1961 AFL San Diego Chargers, when the defense intercepted 49 passes, still a pro football record. Faulkner was head coach and general manager of the 1962 Denver Broncos and was named AFL coach of the year after leading the financially strapped and competitively weak franchise to a 7-7 record. Faulkner made his first return to the Rams when he scouted for them in 1966 after a season on the Minnesota Vikings' coaching staff. Faulkner then joined the first-year New Orleans staff in 1967. In 1968, Faulkner was named the Saints' defensive coordinator, a position he held until becoming the Saints' director of player personnel in 1970. He returned to the Rams again in 1971 as a pro and college scout. Faulkner stayed with the Rams for the next 37 years. He most recently had been the Rams' Administrator for Pro Personnel, working out of his office in Orange County, Calif. Faulkner retired from coaching after serving as the Rams' offensive backfield coach during the 1979 run to the NFC Championship and berth in Super Bowl XIV against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In 1980, Jack was named the Rams' assistant general manager. He was one of the few Rams employees who remained in California when the team relocated to St. Louis in 1995. Faulkner was in the U.S. Marine Corps in World War II and got into coaching in 1949 after playing linebacker at Miami of Ohio. He served under Sid Gillman at Cincinnati from 1949-54 and with the Rams from 1955-59. Faulkner is survived by his wife, Debbie, and sons Jon, Brandon and Ryan, and daughter Cathy.

The Nfl wants the "blown Chargers Call" Referee back on the job this weekend

The call came in the final minute with Denver having a second-and-1 at the San Diego 1-yard-line and the Chargers leading 38-31. Denver quarterback Jay Cutler dropped back to pass, the ball slipped from his hand and a San Diego player recovered. But Hochuli, who has refereed two Super Bowls and is the league's most visible official, ruled it an incomplete pass. Instant replay showed the call should have been a fumble, but Denver retained the ball at the 10 because under the rules, the ball could not go to San Diego because the whistle had blown when the play was ruled a pass. Hochuli told Chargers coach Norv Turner he made the wrong call. Then the Broncos went on to score, converted a 2-point conversion, and won 39-38. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday he expected the league's competition committee would review the rule that possession could not change because the whistle blew during the offseason, as it has in the past. "We all understand the frustration of the fans, in this case, the Chargers fans," Goodell told The Associated Press before accepting an award on behalf of the NFL from the International Radio and Television Society Foundation. "Mistakes are a part of our game. We do everything we can to avoid them, but Ed's a fantastic official, and he'll continue to be a great official." Pereira said on his weekly NFL Network show that he's tried to be as supportive as he can to Hochuli, "but he's devastated -- as he should be." "He is a consummate professional who's refereed in this league for 17 years and he hates to make any mistake. So when you add a mistake of this magnitude, at this particular junction of the game, it's been really hard on him. We've talked probably seven or eight times since that game, and my whole goal is to try to get him back to get on the horse and work again this weekend. He's too good of a guy, too good of an official to keep off the field over this critical mistake he made. I think he'll be all right, but he's really been affected over this mistake he made." Do you forgive Ed Hochuli? Yes No According to the Union-Tribune, Hochuli wrote to several San Diego fans: "Officials strive for perfection -- I failed miserably." Hochuli did not return repeated calls and e-mails from The Associated Press. On the Web site www.NFL85.com, his son Scott reported in a section named "Everything Ed" that his father had received many letters of support from fans. The site says Hochuli will ref the Cleveland Browns at Baltimore Ravens game at 4:15 p.m. ET Sunday. "I am very humbled by the number of people who have come to my defense. Very humbled, indeed," the site reported Ed Hochuli as saying. Pereira said the rules need to be further examined. "I think we have to take a step backwards first and look at what we did in 2007 when we brought down by contact into a reviewable situation," he said. "We allowed players to play through the whistle at that point to a recovery of a fumble. We need to look and see if that has been successful, which I believe it has been. "Now what we really need to do is see if we can take it beyond that, considering this play that happened on Sunday. Can we take it beyond that to the ruling of an incomplete pass and stretch it to the ball actually being recovered by the defender, as the Chargers did here, if in fact it was a fumble? ... But the question is can you extend it here to at least make the right ruling on the field? You would at least be doing partially the right thing, giving the ball to San Diego, although you can't advance the ball. "Obviously, we're going to look at it because it was such a big play and we have had some success before with the down by contact rule. We'll take a long look at it, I'm sure."

After missed call, referee Hochuli to be graded down

Ed Hochuli's acknowledgement that he erred on a call late in Sunday's San Diego-Denver game will mean lower grades for one of the NFL's highest profile referees.Officials are held accountable for their calls. They are graded on every play of every game," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday. "Ed has been an outstanding official for many years, but he will be marked down for this call. Under our evaluation system, an official's grades impact his status for potentially working the playoffs and ultimately whether or not he is retained." The play occurred with the Broncos at the Chargers 1-yard-line in the final minute. Denver quarterback Jay Cutler dropped back to pass, the ball slipped out of his hands, bounced off the grass and into the arms of San Diego linebacker Tim Dobbins. Hochuli ruled it an incomplete pass. Replay ruled it a fumble, but it was spotted at the 10-yard line, where the ball hit the ground, and given to Denver because the rules did not permit possession to be awarded to San Diego because the whistle had blown. Denver went on to score, convert a two-point conversion and win 39-38.
