00:00the one thing I'm going to say is if you can in any way now a day later zoom out
00:07be happy your team won be happy you didn't play well you got away with it be happy for once
00:12as
00:12line fans you got some calls that lord knows historically this team hasn't gotten all those
00:16things are totally appropriate can we just all look at each other and go look if we were not
00:21lion fans or packer fans and you're watching that game in topeka kansas orlando florida bozeman
00:29montana or santa monica california that was america's game of the week 425 a-list crew of
00:37burkhart and brady america got to see on full display everything wrong with the nfl in one
00:44three-hour span there was a clown show there was junior varsity officiating the most powerful league
00:51on planet earth the the league that takes up 90 of our sporting oxygen in this country cannot
00:59effectively officiate their games to the point where fans can't trust the results think about
01:04that you're sitting there and with a straight face you could actually say well i guess they want the
01:12lions to win today that's not your problem hear what i'm saying zoom out and watch that game as a
01:20as an average observer and you go how can this be the best we can do how can this crew
01:25is so lost
01:27and nothing kills me more than these ridiculous roughing the passer things look the penalty where
01:34amon rob was rolling around and trying to get up and run and got tackled and the ref gets kicked
01:39in
01:39the ding-a-ling and he throws the penalty all right well we'll put that one to the side
01:44what's pi what's not what's roughing the passer what's not what's grounding what's not even in your
01:52game jordan watkins that was a catch to me nope hey cam scadabo you tried to break a tackle personal
01:59foul on you question mark for lowering your head the league has a massive problem watching these games
02:09is arduous it's exhausting well here's the thing the the two roughing the passer penalties was funny
02:16because they were ridiculous of the dichotomy of the first one was okay was it roughing the passer
02:22because he hit the quarterback late after he threw the ball tried to hold himself up rico okay but but
02:29let's say that's it for the second one it was a bang bang as soon as and it wasn't head
02:35and neck area
02:35so don't waste my time with that as soon as he threw the ball he was getting hit simultaneously and
02:40it wasn't body weight because he did a pirouette to not fall on golf that's what you pay that guy
02:44a lot
02:44of money to do and then all of a sudden that's right a personal file and again understand this is
02:52not lions raid i'm talking as a football fan you could change both teams i don't care it could have
02:56been seattle kansas city last night i can't take any more of these games where non-football players
03:01are egregiously effecting and ultimately deciding the game i mean like that last drive something has
03:09to be chaos in order for me to give a 15 yard penalty and essentially hand the lions a field
03:14goal
03:14and again change the uniforms could have been broncos rams i can't do it every week we are
03:20seeing this well the problem for me is in college you have the command center in the nfl you have
03:26the
03:26expedited review they can come in and say no no we looked it over real quick and we're going to
03:30save
03:30you time how come we just can't get this right like if you have all these extra people who are
03:36looking at
03:36these gigantic monitors instead of looking at their iphone and they can say okay here's what we saw
03:43let's just get it right and if you tell me well it's going to take the game it's going to
03:47make
03:47the games longer they're already long i've heard that so i'd rather have a long game with the correct
03:53call then you try to speed this up by 30 seconds and now you're saying but but that wasn't the
03:59right
03:59call when your rules dean blandino and your rules expert is blasting you like guys i have no idea what
04:06they're doing you know what i can't figure out why have dean blandino on the broadcast if he can't
04:10pick up a red phone and go f you that wasn't roughing click let's move it along now that would
04:15be something like you know hey dean you get the final call on this guys not roughing keep going
04:20what's the point because i guess somebody's feelings is going to get hurt i don't care all of a sudden
04:25a
04:25referee is going to get well i made this call and you didn't back me up well it was wrong
04:29thank god
04:30the lions won because if they were on the other side of getting screwed by the league again i'd have
04:34to
04:34take the week off it'd be insufferable to sit here and again you have to separate being a lions fan
04:40and just we're talking football for five minutes today of a four-hour show it that was the worst
04:45officiated game comprehensively that i have watched all season it was horrific but you're right calls
04:53have just been bad across the board i told you i'm watching the niner game they score the touchdown i
04:58know i get up i go to the restroom i come back and i'm saying hey what happened to that
05:04score yeah
05:05while you were gone they overturned it and said there was no cam scadabo getting a personal foul for
05:11lowering his head as a running back what planet am i on yeah i i it it is it's it's
05:21easy to do but
05:22because it's easy to do i think that's what makes it so difficult that you know it would have to
05:26your friends with an official mike what does he say the problem is you have to admit you have a
05:31problem and the league does not feel like that every it's like baseball umpires where every up
05:37was different but you know what the best thing they did let's just do this automatic balls and
05:41strike thing with the and you find out in 10 seconds well got that call wrong got that call right
05:46see but it's every game because it started early started at 9 30 because i had the same situation
05:52where tj watt has a strip sack in the paris game and they go to commercial and i'm celebrating i'm
05:57like yes and i'm getting myself ready for church and then i come back and the saints have the ball
06:02and nothing in the replay showed me that he still had control it was a fumble how about the lions
06:07saints game earlier in the year yes that gop thing i mean that irreparably changed it now again
06:12i'm just gonna say this i totally get the lions fan who goes f everybody we deserve breaks okay
06:18i'm just telling you the football gods are gonna f you proper at some point later in the year because
06:24you've basically been gifted two games yeah because right the saints game was everybody saw it and they
06:31came up the explanation was well he intended uh throwing the ball forward just did he just say he
06:37intended he had the right intent but the but the problem i have with the with the way the refs
06:42have
06:43been this year is i'm going into tonight's monday night football game just expecting him to do
06:47something just to keep the game close oh okay packers cowboys a couple weeks ago i know where
06:55you're going with the fourth quarter of that game now the packers had kind of put it in time to
07:00go to
07:00bed land up next the next seven calls go against the packers cowboys cowboys cowboys coming it's almost
07:08like they got a message like hey can you keep people awake we got more spots to sell like it
07:13was so
07:14ridiculous and i'm like oh my god they're going to get back in this game based on penalty penalty
07:19penalty penalty penalty penalty it's hard to trust the results and that's the problem that i said mike
07:24with all these different command centers look technology is making their job it can make it
07:30easier but it's making it harder because now with everybody with 4k tvs and you see things crystal clear
07:35in your living room on your 100 inch screen and you're wondering well if i can see this how come
07:40they can't see this what what am i watching here that's where yeah it's okay to just get it correct
07:48and deal with it later because you know what you don't want to hear if you're an opposing if your
07:53team just lost because of a bad call you don't want the apology call on monday hey no we screwed
07:58that
07:59one up my bad my bad sorry about that okay david a couple of texts i'm sorry i just had
08:04to get that
08:05out there because it has nothing to do with the lions i'm asking you you could change the helmets
08:09i'm saying every week you're watching football i know you're feeling what i'm feeling no one is here
08:14to watch the refs and i know i'm sick and damn tired of living in fear that the play i
08:20just watched
08:21i don't get to react to because i'm waiting for the yellow graphic and then you get to a point
08:26where
08:26yesterday was complete absurdity who are we kidding the rules experts are like uh that's not a penalty
08:31tom brady was just i mean he was more offended at some of those calls than the karate teacher
08:38i mean it's just come on it's national this is the game of the week what does your buddy say
08:46or are you not allowed to tell me well i haven't talked to him about that so well do me
08:51a favor
08:52call the founder's phone and talk to the ref that you know and be like wtf man see what he
09:01says
09:02what no i'm just they are very the another ref that i talked to they're very protective of each
09:08other well then they can all go to hell all right david from cooper plain and simple guys i've been
09:14saying it for years now it's vegas that's what's going on here the problem is it's harder for me to
09:20fight those flippant remarks because there are certain things that are taking place in these games
09:26that make it feel like no i know i make jokes about the script writers but like refs can heavily
09:31influence games they can heavily impact results and there are certain games this year i'm seeing it
09:39i'm going are you do you want to tell me something go ahead brad it was bloomfield i was trying
09:48to
09:49explain some basics to my kid it went flag flag injury commercial flag flag that's what the game is now
09:55up next kids asleep 248-539-9797 we'll get more of the people coming up next
