| 0:00.0 | And Boomer joins us on the AT&T expert hotline. |
| 0:03.1 | Hello, Mr. Boomer Assison. |
| 0:04.8 | Hey, good morning, guys. |
| 0:05.9 | I guess we don't really have too much to talk about this Monday morning, do we? |
| 0:08.8 | No, except that the NFL is just preposterous. |
| 0:12.4 | The rules in this game are just unbelievable. |
| 0:18.1 | I know you didn't like it, and I don't know many people who did. |
| 0:22.0 | Explain to me the rationale behind that rule. |
| 0:28.4 | Okay. |
| 0:28.7 | I don't really, I can't explain it. |
| 0:31.7 | You know, the thing about it is I think we all see it with our eyes. |
| 0:34.5 | And for me, the key word here is indisputable. |
| 0:38.0 | There has to be indisputable video evidence to overturn a call on the field. So you've got to remember that it was called a touchdown in the first place. And once it's called a touchdown, now you go to video replay and you do that for every scoring play in the NFL. and then when you get to that replay, you look at it and you say, okay, is this |

| 1:06.8 | NFL fans are frustrated on plays like this. And like I said yesterday in the NFL today, it doesn't matter, you know, that it was a jet in this case. It could have been a Patriot. It could have been a Packer. It could have been a Raider. It could have been a giant for that matter. Fans want legitimacy. Fans want to see touchdowns that are touchdowns. And in my eyes, and I think in the eyes of millions of NFL fans |
| 1:28.8 | yesterday, whether you're a Patriot fan or not, that was a touchdown. And now the Jets may not have |
| 1:34.4 | come back to win the football game or tie the game or whatever would have happened. And maybe |
| 1:38.1 | the whole thing plays out a little bit differently at the end. But I think for all of us who |
| 1:42.5 | are watching football on television and we see the |
| 1:44.9 | replays, and then to get the convoluted Tony Carrente, who was the referee yesterday, his post-game |
| 1:50.7 | press conference, make it even more murkier. Just makes you realize that this was not the right call |
