We officially have our Super Bowl matchup. Didn't go without some controversy.

Certainly the Bengals Chiefs game had, let's just say, way too much ref influence and just too much focus on the referees. I guess it's probably

the easiest way I would say that there are a lot of interesting calls in that game. The extra down

because they got a do-over. I mean, you look at the wide view and you see the ref going like this,

but it just it has to be a cleaner operation than that and you can't let them run a full play and then do it over. That is unacceptable.

an opportunity at a field goal. It's not a, it's not a penalty out of like, you know, it's not

trying to be stupid. It's not trying to be stupid it's not trying to be like

let me hit this guy late it's like the the penalty is intended to make sure that players are safe

and once they get out of bounds they're not going to get hit anymore but he's just like literally
