There is now a lawsuit filed against the NFL over the missed calls on the two penalties that cost the new orleans saints the championship in the last seconds of last last sundays NFC championship game.

The two penalties in question was a pass interference penalty,and a helmet-to-helmet penalty in the final seconds of the game that even the NFL commissioner,roger goodall admits was 'a heinous non call that cost the saints the championship.'

Roger goodall DOES have the power to either change the outcome of the game,and give the win to the saints,or have them replay it,and judging by the amount of backlash that the NFL if now facing over the missed call by the referees in the game,[two of whom just happen to be from L.A. and have an obvious conflict of interest,and should not have been allowed to referee in the game],he is going to have to do Something to appease the fans,or face a massive boycott by them that will affect NFL deeply.

at the very least,the NFL will be forced to rewrite the rules pertaining to 'non challengeable calls to avoid this type of mistake in the future,but I don't think that just changing the rules will be enough to appease all of the fans who are outraged over these blatantly missed calls.

besides the lawsuit,there is also a petition on that currently has almost 3/4 of a million signatures,and is only expected to grow in number,as football fans get more and more outraged about these missed calls, requesting that the game be replayed to determine the true NFC champion.

I don't think that I am allowed to say the name of any other sites on this site,but if you would like to sign this petition,please google it,and sign it to support the CHANGE in the rules,and to ask that the game be replayed.
