If Sanchez is the worst, Tony Romo isn't far behind him.
I felt bad for the Lions when the touchdown against them should have easily been overturned on replay, but could not be reviewed because their head coach tossed his red flag to request a review. Using typical NFL logic, because scoring plays are automatically reviewed, the referees penalized Coach Swartz for unsportsmanlike conduct for challenging the outcome of the play. The NFL doesn't mind inconsistency or shifting standards of review when it comes to penalties for illegal hits or pass interference, but they will not tolerate superfluous activity.
The worst part of it is that because the Lions challenged the play when it was going to be anyhow, they refused to review a scoring play that should have been obviously overturned.
Klyd, this was a major rant by sports analyst/host Mike Francesa on WFAN in NY. He was livid about the double penalization that this rule invoked - and this was before the Detroit game. Bureaucratic rule-making at its worst.
