I'm Israel Gutierrez. I'm hosting a new podcast called Four Years of Heat. It takes you to Miami from 2010 to 2014

0:07.8

with LeBron James, Chris Bosch and Duane Wade, set the NBA ablaze.

0:12.6

You know, having an opportunity to team up with the best trio to ever play the game of basketball

0:18.0

will take you inside those four monumental years with behind-the-scenes access and insight about one of the greatest teams ever

0:25.3

for a sum of four years of heat on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

0:32.8

This is the best of outkick the coverage with Clay Travis on Fox Sports Radio.

0:42.4

I want to bring in Eddie Garcia now. He is a huge Pittsburgh stealer fan and I got to say this. All right.

0:51.7

NFL officiating they are going to have to, I believe, in this offseason. Go back to the drawing board and figure out a way to handle the fact that NFL

1:02.2

officiating is just a trotious. There are far too many judgment calls in what is a relatively evenly that end up

1:11.9

deciding the outcome of the game. To me, the game, the most important thing that determines the outcome of a game probably is third

1:19.4

down passing, right? Does your quarterback convert on third down? Can he throw a first down conversion pass on third down?

1:29.2

That effectively decides the NFL in almost every game. If you really break down like what is the most important, important ingredient in every NFL

1:39.5

game, you tell me how a quarterback does on third down passing. I'll almost guarantee you who wins the game. That's that's across the board.

1:48.2

The NFL is in many ways, just a contest between quarterbacks, who is better on third down passing the second most important thing when it comes down to a close game.

1:59.7

officiating what calls were made when were they made because the impact of a defensive holding that automatically gives a first down is seismic.

2:11.7

The impact of a pass interference call that is a borderline yes or no call because of the spot of the foul aspect of that penalty is seismic.

2:21.1

When you decide to call a holding penalty, how many times this weekend watching NFL games, did you see a big play made and then boom, there's a holding call that may not have had

2:34.7

anything at all to do with the actual play. I see holding calls made all the time where the penalty flag is thrown and it's for a backside defensive end that could have never made a play on the ball at all.

2:49.6

I think that NFL officiating is at a crisis point in terms of its overall impact to the outcome of games and even the way that stealer game ended.

3:01.9

First of all, you had an official on the goal line with the perfect view and he blew the touchdown call.

3:11.1

He initially said no, no, he stopped inside the one yard line, which was what potentially decided the game there. We also had what I think was an awful call on passing her appearance made in the end zone on Joe Hayden against Alvin Camara that shouldn't have been thrown.

3:29.4

I think you should be able, this has been my argument for a while. I don't know why more people haven't gotten on this bandwagon. I think you should be able to challenge judgment calls like you can challenge any other call in the game.
