Dallas Game Protests

And in that case, the Browns should not have been allowed to use their headsets either



However, while the headset was a nuisance it was part of several issues that day. Not the least of which was a costly fumble by Clinton Portis-along with poor special teams play and an inept offense.

See fellas, it's possible for more than one person to be right. Can't we all get along

No, Smoot I wasn't looking at the spokesman writings at all. I actually remembered the press conference when Gibbs explained the rules.

As many of us did. I was just trying to back you up with some quotes.

I heard the post game stuff, but where does it state it in the rules. If Coach to booth is not working they are supposed to cease all comunication on both sides, but Coach to QB there is no rule. He had both problems on two series. I am just asking where are you getting your rule info from because I cna not find it online. THE EXACT RULES NOT A STATEMENT BY A COACH.

But concernning a protest here is the exact rule

Rules 101 from the NFL

Protest No Club Protests

The authority and measures provided for in this section (UNFAIR ACTS) do not constitute a protest machinery for NFL clubs to dispute the result of a game. The Commissioner will conduct an investigation under this section only to review an act or occurrence that he deems so unfair that the result of the game in question may be inequitable to one of the participating teams. The Commissioner will not apply his authority under this section when a club registers a complaint concerning judgmental errors or routine errors of omission by game officials. Games involving such complaints will continue to stand as completed.

I am making a issue of this because Sunra keeps on claimming great knowledge over football and that some of us lack his ability. I am trying to talk about facts not falsehoods.
