Bill Vinovich calling his first Saints game tonight since the no-call (Merged)

Regarding no penalty for hitting Brees in the face or head with his overtime interception:

1. Right before that interception, the Rams were flagged for defensive pass interference.

2. I just watched the replay of the interception. On the replay from a rear-view camera, it looks as though Brees was hit in the right shoulder, not the face. However, if a penalty did occur, it was not so blatant that (a) the announcers were talking about it, (b) the Superdome crowd strongly reacted to a penalty not being called, and (c) the Saints were screaming about that call after the game.

3. The officials were letting the teams play. For the day, in a game with an overtime period, only 10 penalties were called--again, only three against the Saints for 20 yards.
