Questionable Call Near the end of the Broncos-Chargers game today, there was a very curious call on the fumble/incompletion by Jay Cutler near the end of the game. The play was clearly a fumble by every replay, but because referee Ed Hochuli had blown the play dead, the ball returned to the Broncos at the spot of the fumble instead of going to the Chargers by way of recovering the fumble. The Broncoes went on to score a touchdown, a 2-point conversion, and win the game 39-38.

bdaddy since when is it not reviewable to see if a player is down by contact? That play was challenged and was in the process of being reviewed so were they also incorrect in reviewing the play as well? If it is as you say "a battle for possession" then that is a case for simultaneous possession which automatically goes to the offense.

As a H.S. and College official I was aghast at that when I saw him signal incomplete. The first rule of officiating is to see the whole play and then rule properly, you can always go back and try to correct your mistake except in this case he blew the whistle a very sophmoric move to not see the ball. If his hand had gone up with the ball in it then it's a different story, but to blow your whistle when you see an empty hand go up ...... well let's just say he needs to spend more time working on his field positioning and less time in the gym. Oh and nice move Invesco field not not have the replay working in the 1st Q as well also resulting in a TD for Denver. So that makes the score SD38 Denver and officiating crew 39 gotta love it!
Take your bags, sir? Recently signed Detroit Lions running back Rudi Johnson said Wednesday that the player who was waived to make room for him on the Lions' roster -- Tatum Bell -- took his luggage from team headquarters. Bell claims it was a misunderstanding and said, "They said they got me on film taking the bags. I said, 'If you look on film, I wasn't in no hurry or nothing.' I was just going about my day."

A dazzling Manny being Manny moment I saw this on ESPN this morning and burst out laughing as soon as I saw the high-five. There are few players who could get away with doing something like that.

George Gipp Exhumed from Michigan Cemetery The body of George Gipp, the Notre Dame football player whose death in 1920 became a rallying cry for a team and an American president, was exhumed recently from Laurium, Mich. The AP didn't find the reason, but I suspect it's related to a message board post on a Gipp family genealogy forum. "All my life I heard the story that my mother's mother Eva Bright, South Bend had dated George while he was at Notre Dame," writes Ellen Weeks Easton, who suspects Gipp is her grandfather. "My mother was born Dec. 19, 4 days after Geo. died. My mom was born out of wedlock, obviously, and back in 1920 it was hush-hush."

Who's Now Pissed -- ESPN Viewers Hammer Network Over 'Buzz' Competition "This is a command performance column -- the command having been issued by the hundreds of viewers who asked me to say something about the Who's Now segments that ran on SportsCenter throughout July. No single topic has ever drawn the volume and intensity of unsolicited complaints to either my or my predecessor's mailbox that this sports popularity contest has." -- ESPN ombudsman Le Anne Schreiber

Long-shot Serena Williams annihilates #1 Maria Sharapova to win Australian Open. She started as a 34-1 longshot to win this event, coincidentally the last title she won on Tour (AO '05). Out of shape and will less than five events in the last 12 months, no one expected Serena Williams to compete for this Slam -- much less beat the newly-minted World #1 and US Open queen Maria Sharapova in straight sets. Does this win merely continue the tradition of "wacky" wins, or does it say something about the state of women's tennis today?

Chargers flushed, Peyton vs. Brady again Plus, LT got in a fight at the end of the tight game, it apparently had something to do with Shawne Merriman.

I've never seen a homeless guy so excited to win a game before, this was the Pats Superbowl, now Indy will exact revenge for all the playoff heartaches that have come at the hands of those hated Pats. In order for San Diego to improve they must cut Parker, Florence and McCree these guys are paid to do a job and they failed at it, Shotty's job was to put them in a position to compete and win the game, which he did, besides if Shotty goes who would replace him?, they have a good nucleus of YOUNG talent fill in the holes and they're still a contender for years to come
