Sally, read the question in the title. Salt in the wound, kinda feels like it. What was your answer to the question or are you just worried about mine?

the bullshit catch in the Giants Patriots SB

After the game I took my Mountaineer down a snowmobile trail and eventual got it stuck...go figure. The next day I had to have a friend come get it out with a skidder...the only bright spot in the two day event was zero damage to the car

Mitch WildThing Williams giving up the walk off homer to Joe carter in the world series. That '93 Philly club with Dykstra, Daulton, Kruk and other idiots had more character than any team I've ever followed. They were all heart and Wild Thing really shouldn't have been in there even though he was one of the characters we all loved.

Jemario O'Neil Pass interference call vs Michigan in 2006 in the Ohio State vs Michigan game.

I had my largest wager ever on OSU and they were covering the number and had it won, until the 4th and 10 PI.

The first one posted with the Texans game Since at the time i was using a call service because it was my dads but who booked. Largest play for me of the year and one of the largers one ive made overall. Had Texans +6.5 and over 50 played both large and parlayed big too I was and still do well in football but i just had a feeling in this one go figure. Anyway you all know the the outcome 28-21 cards and shaub had 4 chances inside the 5 against a horrible D at the time.

What really Hurts even more is if i played this online or could call earlier in the week i would have gotten texans +7-9 all week and over 47.5 which i still remember is what it opened at.

Part 2 is a dodgers tigers game from earlier this year when sherz got rocked had over 7.5 which pains me agains because i decided to layoff the high -130 juice in the morning and got it later at night for some odd reason. Final 6-1, Tigers loaded the bases in the 6 and 7th and promtly had inning ending double plays after that game had to take a little break i was on a hot streak for a few weeks then lost like 6 straight all of which were nail bitting phone throwing loses

on the tuck rule, I'm a Raiders fan one. Second how many times was it called prior to that one? I would think kinda a weird time to make that call, not like it's a fucking ho;ding call during week one!​
It was called once that I know of earlier in the year...against the Patriots.Pats vs Jets Vinnie Testeverde benefited.
By the way.If you look at the replay,Brady takes a blow to the head that should have been a penalty.
Also karma has a way of comin around. In a 1976 playoff game the Raiders benefited by thee worst call in NFL history when Sugar Bear Hamilton tipped a pass that went incomplete on 4th down but was called for a blow to the head while grazing Kenny Stablers helmet in the process of tipping a pass....Haven't ever seen a call since.
Anyway mine is the whole Tyree play.Manning should have been sacked before the throw was even made.
That was not just the Super bowl that game was for "forever."

F'n Aaron Boone

thats mine as well....that was my first year of gambling and i was getting raped all year (had absolutely no clue what i was doing).....pretty much went all in on that game and then didnt gamble for a while. Looking back now, that first year was prob the best thing that ever happened to me gambling wise. I'm not gonna sit here and lie and say i win money all the time like some people claim, but i will say i dont lose like i used to lose

That was the famous referee Ben Dreith call: During the 1976 playoff game between the Oakland Raiders and the New England Patriots, Dreith called a roughing-the-passer penalty on Patriots tackle Ray "Sugar Bear" Hamilton, nullifying a 4th down incompletion and giving the Raiders an automatic first down deep in New England territory, which led to Oakland's game-winning touchdown with less than a minute left. Replays showed there was no illegal contact. Partially because of the controversy, the league never assigned Dreith to officiate Patriots games again. Plus Dreith was demoted from Referee to a back judge after that game.

The Raiders went on to a 15-1 Super Bowl winning season. Their only loss during the 1976 season came in early October at Foxboro at the then called Schaefer Stadium (I was at the game) by a score of 48-17. The Pats embarrassed the Raiders that day in sunny Foxboro.

The Patriots were the better team that year and would have won the super bowl IMHO but Ben Dreith's yellow hankie took that away from them.

The "Tuck Rule" call did have a certain karma attached to it - at least for long time Patriot fans. The curse of Ben Dreith was finally destroyed..

Yeah I agree. As lucky as that catch was, Manning should have been sacked. The Pats just couldn't get him to the ground. Sickening.
