Hello, Mr. Boomer Assison.

0:01.9

Hey, good morning, guys. I don't know about you, but I'm wiped out. What a football game.

0:05.7

What a series of scenarios yesterday that took place all across the NFL.

0:10.1

And then what a series of events that took place at the Pittsburgh and New England game yesterday afternoon.

0:16.1

Just unbelievable. You could not have predicted the way that that thing ended.

0:20.7

And it gave us everything

0:21.7

that we could have asked for as fans. Now, what did you think of the call, the overturned touchdown? All right, here's the God's honest truth. We're sitting in there. We're in the studio. It's me, coach. It's Nate Burleson and Phil Sims and James Brown was sitting there. We're watching the game. We're all fixated on the game.

0:36.8

We have all the support personnel around.

0:38.6

That's how big this game was.

0:39.7

Everybody's paying attention to it. James Brown was sitting there. We're watching the game. We're all fixated on the game. We have all the support personnel around.

0:38.5

That's how big this game was.

Everybody's paying attention to it.

0:53.3

So as soon as the, you know, obviously Jesse James crosses the goal and everybody is assuming touchdown and, okay, we're a touchdown. Then they show a replay of it. I'm going, that's not a touchdown. that's going to be an incomplete pass because the ball moved on the ground.

0:56.9

And we've been through this literally 15 times this year.

1:11.5

So we know, at least I know what I'm looking at and everybody else knows what they're looking at. An argument ensues in the studio. No way. That's a touchdown. That's a touchdown. Of course, Jim and Tony are calling it a touchdown. It has to be a touchdown. I'm sitting there going, that is an incomplete pass, guys. That is an incomplete pass. And then sure enough, about two to three minutes later, they rule an incomplete pass. So I was not

1:17.5

shocked at all. It is a rule. The rule sucks. The rule is victimized a number of teams this

1:23.3

year. But I got to tell you, it's the consistent application of the rule. So in this case,

1:29.5

the Patriots, and I'm sure that there are 31 other organizations that hate the fact that the

1:33.5

Patriots have benefited from this rule. I get it. But it is a rule and it is the proper call

1:39.4

under the rule book, under the understandings of the rules, and how that they are ruling these plays.

1:45.6

So it's frustrating. I've lamented the fact that this rule is in effect, but that was the proper

1:52.2

application of the rule and the replay yesterday. Well, the other part of it is that Antonio Brown
