Santana Moss Personal Foul

[Sammy Baugh Fan]

My guess is Moss used a few choice words like....
Blind, Stupid, Incompetent, Ram Fan Referee

Then again one good drop of the F' BOMB can get the same affect.

Not to mention he (ST) also got the facemask on the sack he made (and didn't get called). Fitzpatrick new it...

It's good to see people get fired up out there, just try to keep it from hurting the team.

The way Taylor plays one of these days he going to get a facemask and the heads coming off with the helmet.

Santana was rightly pissed about the ref missing that OBVIOUS illegal contact. But he's lucky Hall made that fieldgoal and things went well, because that could have really cost us. Remember--most of our games are settled by 3 points or less!

As for the refs, it's a broken record thing. But nothing much will change until the league hires the refs full-time. I have yet to hear the reason that the NFL does not do this, given how much money they make, and how important good officiating is.

Lotsa guys bitch, but there's also a league tendency to throw the late flag if a WR is bitching. Don't fault Moss for this penalty as he was doing what most competitive players do. Try to make an influence on the game.

Did you see the Ravens-Lions game earlier this year? Suggs got up and he was pretty pissed off. Looked like he wanted to hit an official, but never cocked back or anything. He just ran up to the official to argue and got ejected because the ref said, "you don't come at with malice in your eyes...he looked like he wanted to do harm to me, so he got the gate."

Santana never got close to an official just talked smack. Guess he mentioned that the guys daughter was a whore and his wife was sleeping with Marv Albert or maybe he said Brian Baldinger. One of which has to be true for the way he was flagged. Thank god this penalty had nothing to do with the outcome of the game, but at this point in the season I'd have to halfway agree with IRISH. We'd be close to 11-1 with calls in our favor. Let's CRUSH the CARDS!!! GO SKINS!!!

It has been suggested that the reason they avoid making the positions full time is that it would allow the officials to unionize and present yet another labor group with which to have issues. Can you imagine if they unionized and ended up striking one season? The refs are bad but I can't imagine what the scabs would be like.

From being there, I will say that there was illegal contact on two consecutive plays. He had already complained about the first one. When they did it again and the refs didn't call it, he really got up in one of the ref's face and really let him have it. I would say he probably deserved it (the penalty). I would also say that the ref he was yelling at should be fired for excessive sucking.
