The game is winding down, one score separates two teams who have fought hard all game. The crowd is standing, the momentum is shifting, the offense is in a rhythm.....
SCREECH STOP....
5 minute break to review a play that was obviously called correctly on the field.
OR WORSE...
5 minute break to review, the ref finally comes back on the field, AND STILL MAKES A BAD CALL
OR WORSE...
5 minute break to review, the ref finally comes back on the field, AND OVERTURNS A GOOD CALL.
