...on the last gutsy 4th down play when the Cowboys went for it. He says Barber put his elbow down short of the 1st down. I say, "SHUT UP NORM!" Don't rain on my parade. What a win!

Norm needs to hit the retirement home.

He got the first down easily. Did he mention anything about the 2 or 3 offsides and false starts the refs missed on Tampa?

He did say it was a great win, but then he started talking about how MB3 didn't get the first down. Funny how nobody on the field thought so.

Who gives a damn? We won and they lost. The refs get calls wrong all day long, why is that news?

I couldn't care less if they missed something on that play or not. I'll take the W. Thank you very much Norm but your complaint has been heard, and ignored.

I heard that too.:laugh2: I don't care how positive you are, you have to admit that Brad Johnson CANNOT THROW the football. He did better than last week, but that aint saying much.

I'm not sure whether MBIII got it, but I'm sure glad that TB didn't challenge the spot. :)

Perhaps you should listen to the show and not just that one comment. Norm and the rest of the guys are giving the Cowboys alot of credit and praising especially the Defense.

I thought he had it on third down. By the way the ref ran in on the TV yellow line to only spot the ball behind the line. :banghead: The 4th down play should never have taken place.

I don't know how Norm can even go there. Two inches is all he needed and he went down right over the spot he needed. Its a judgment call by the refs and in their judgment it was a first. I think any crew in the nfl would have made the same call under the same exact circumstances.

Norm's right, Curtis got the first down when he stretched out on the play before. Bad spot.
