Two flat-out lies Troy Aikman told last night

[Whirlwin]

"Definitely in"

"By 1 blade of grass"

You don't see how you just contradicted yourself?

One blade of grass equals in. What contradiction.

"Definitely in"

"By 1 blade of grass"

When it's THAT close, you stick with the call on the field. Period. That's the rule.

Stop with the emojis, you’re better than that. Go look at the replay again, and if you don’t agree, you’re something wrong with your television.

You wanna blame somebody, blame the linebacker for trotting over trying to make the tackle he didn’t even run towards the receiver

IIRC, CeeDee wasn't on a straight path when the defender ran into him. It looked like just as much his fault as the defender.

As for the TD, I was surprised at first, but after the rear view of the play, he looked to be inbounds.

CeeDee ran a slant and got blasted before he could look for the ball.

The ball was already in mid-air.

There is no universe in which that is NOT pass interference.

But ol' Troy called it "perfectly legal" and that's why everyone just accepted it.

I don’t know why you’re so upset about this

Who cares about Troy Aikman, I don’t even listen. I have the stereo playing.

I thought it was CD who ran into the defender, I don’t think the defender ran into CD. But I’ll have to look at it again.

You go look again.

I have screenshots saved on my phone showing how ridiculously close it was. I don't know how to post them here.

You're lying if you say it was "obvious" and the fact that you mentioned "even by 1 blade of grass" means you know it was insanely close too. Stop it.

Yes, it was ridiculously close. But that doesn’t mean he’s out. It just means it was close. Now who’s contradicting themselves. Maybe they should’ve used the credit card against his foot in the sidelines, lol.

They ran into each other.

CeeDee was running his route. He's allowed to do that, obviously.

The ball was in the air before the contact happened.

It's pass interference. Every single time.

Troy either 1) didn't realize the ball was already in the air and didn't care look into that, or 2) lied to America about it on purpose.

Troy was VERY quick to call it a legal play, just like he was VERY quick to proclaim Chase Brown was surely inbounds.

 

[Whirlwin]

I’ll agree with you, it was close, but that doesn’t help, close is not a touchdown. Close as I wish.

Daksters always love putting down our legends it seems...

obvious and close can both be true though, no?

I don’t care about Troy Aikman,. I look for myself. It was a horrible throw by Cooper Rush. I didn’t even care about what CD lamb did. It wasn’t going to be completed anyways.

Can you clarify this statement, I am not a fan of Treman in the booth. But I love that guy on the field. I think he tried too hard initially to be biased and it showed.

The point of the review is not to re-judicate the play as if the refs are seeing it for the very first time.

The point of the review is to overturn the call ONLY IF there is INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE to do so.

You'll notice that I never said Brown was surely out of bounds.

I said it was insanely close, and far too close to make a definitive judgment one way or the other.

The call on the field was out of bounds. BY RULE, that means they should've stuck with that ruling.

Troy could've said, "I think he's in, but boy is that close, it's tough to tell for sure..." and I would've been fine with it.

My issue is that Troy saw ONE replay and IMMEDIATELY said it looks in as if it was indisputably obvious... then the other group-thinkers on the broadcast followed suit, as did the refs.

I’m not trying to argue with you. I’m just trying to understand what your point was thank you for clarifying. but upon replay, it was obvious to me, he was in bounds.

Wait....You think the refs are listening to Troy Aikman?

 

[Nav22]

Only difference is the spot of the ball? It’s still a first down.

If the ball wasn't in the air yet, it wouldn't have been a penalty because it was within 5 yards.

The ball WAS in the air. That's pass interference.

Troy was wrong or he lied.

 

[Sydla]

I knew Troy disliked Jerry, but MAN!


1) Cooper Rush's INT.

CeeDee Lamb gets blasted (unintentionally) with the ball in the air, by a DB who happened to be chasing a different receiver at the time. It was an accidental collision, but still a collision.

Troy said it was perfectly legal and not a penalty!


Rules experts... show me where in the rulebook it states that a DB can blast a WR with the ball in the air, SO LONG AS he was chasing a different receiver at the time.

Something tells me this "rule" has never existed and is something Troy simply made up, in order to legitimize the bogus INT he just witnessed.

2) Chase Brown's tightrope walk TD.

The call on the field was that he stepped out of bounds before scoring. I've seen the replays from every single angle. I've studied screenshots from every angle.

There is NO UNIVERSE in which there was anything conclusive to overturn the call on the field. It was insanely close.

Troy, Joe Buck and the "rules expert" then collectively decided to lie to the nation and pretend it was OBVIOUSLY a TD and certainly conclusive!


Naturally, the refs agreed and gave Cincy the TD. Complete and utter horse****.

LOL.

You got both of these wrong.
