I was going to say the same thing. Also put the ref a little closer... And put some glasses on him and a cane

the blind cant help it..... the ref was shown correctly expelling pee all over himself.

why did we draw up a play for Tommy Lee Lewis of all players in crunch time?

still the worst call of my lifetime (except the one I benefitted from - Denkinger in '85 WS).

Watched that game yesterday and I was still yelling!!!!!!

I saw NFLN playing it and thought how could they show this crap.

 

[NatureBoy]

That game pretty much ruined my fanhood for the NFL. I still follow our Saints of course, but with much less passion.

I like how Tommy Lee is both in the game and on the sideline with Bobby Hebert and a backup OLineman,

It's a black eye the NFL will never lose or live down. It's been shown a million times on sports shows and everyone, even every Ram fan, knows it was an absolute theft of the Saints' return to the Super Bowl.

Like many, I lost some of my fandom that day because the NFL said loud and clear, "we don't care about our fans, we don't care about our players, we don't care about fair, we care about what we think will generate ratings and revenue, especially when it comes to the Super Bowl."

Well, IIRC, Super Bowl viewership, while still super-high, has declined some since then. I can tell you I don't take much interest in it. The only thing that will make me interested in making a day of watching it is the Saints getting there again, but the cynical side of my brain is certain the NFL won't allow that to happen.

I enhanced it a tad.

Why is the ref peeing on himself?

Thanks, Triumph, I’m a Saints and Cardinal fan. The two worst call in the history of sports that cost teams championships. Acknowledged by everyone that both calls were wrong with no argument from anybody.

Denkinger was Game 6. While it was severely deflating to the Cards, they still had Game 7. My brother-in-law and sister in St. Louis are season-ticket holders so I was at Busch for like Game 3 or 4 in that series.

Saints never had a game 7 on the table. They were screwed late in their elimination game. While I'll never understand why Vinovich was allowed to continue reffing, I also, with footnote, will always remember UFDA Dan Arnold's end zone drop earlier in the 2nd half.

Also in Game 6 (Denkinger game), Jack Clark let a foul pop drop uncaught the pitch after the (non) call. Just watched the top of the 9th of the game, Porter had a passed ball to put 2 runners in scoring position! A confluence of suck. The whole thing led to a 11-0 mauling in Game 7

I suppose the case could be made that the Saints had OT to make things right, but didn't. Not much consolation tbf.

Even AI is lying about what happened....it wasn't even this close

Grok called it the worst missed penalty in NFL history and one of the worst in sports history.

Well. He was wide open and about to help us clinch a Super Bowl appearance.

We were literally breaking the Dome because pieces of the ceiling in some rooms were falling down. Bravo to the crowd that day for nonstop noise and making the Rams struggle the way they did as shown in the video. That No Call not only robbed the team but robbed the fans' spirits and we have never been as loud since. I know for myself part of me these days says why even bother with loud noise if the NFL can take it away that easily.

I agree. My passion has never been the same since that game because I feel the NFL is rigged. Now with NIL and the transfer portal ruining college sports, my passion for college football and basketball is waning as well

Why would you do that to yourself?
