Admin Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/10/14/...-the-officials/ Chris Mortensen of ESPN pointed out an interesting nugget during Monday Night Countdown on, um, Monday night. Falcons owner Arthur Blank is apparently so intent on propping up the beleaguered officials of the National Football League that Blank is willing to help the effort — even if it hurts his own team. At the tail end of Sunday’s stirring, franchise-transforming win over the Bears, rookie quarterback Matt Ryan to receiver Michael Jenkins the pass that put the Falcons in range to kick the game-winning field goal. But after Jenkins made the catch — getting both feet in bounds — Blank can be seen indicating with his arms that the pass was incomplete. Fortunately for the Falcons, the official who was in position to make the call disagreed. Here’s the video. Go to 1:29, and look to the right of Jenkins.

jhay610 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 What do you say to that? Was he giving his honest evaluation of the play? Has he mistaken the hand signals? Was he watching baseball playoffs on the big screen? Does he want another high-profile QB bust so he can get more publicity? Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators macdaddy Posted October 15, 2008 Moderators Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I think he was just signaling for the clock to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
