Too Little Too Late For Favre And The Vikings
It was the third-quarter hit during the NFC Championship Game that injured Brett Favre, a low blow the NFL is now saying could and should have been called a penalty, reversing a subsequent interception.
NFL vice president of officiating Mike Pereira said the right call had not been made during the New Orleans Saints’ 31-28 overtime victory.
Pereira appeared on the NFL Network this week and said that the league is clearly trying to protect the legs of their quarterbacks and Saints defensive end Bobby McCray’s hit on Favre should have been a penalty.
So now what; nothing that’s what.
Why would the league even bring up that the officials made such a critical error? Why bring focus on this, if there is nothing the NFL can do about it.
It seems silly. We all know that the system is flawed, but that is part of the game. The referee’s are men and man makes mistakes.
