Easley Stands by his Missed Call in the Fail Mary 

Post#1 » by HurricaneKid » Wed Sep 11, 2013 4:57 am

I've been enjoying the Olbermann show. He is back doing what he should be; covering sports with wit and charm for ESPN. For some reason they had the official that missed the call in the Fail Mary game last year (just released a book). Easley still believes he made the right call and makes a number of comments regarding the play that have no part in adjudicating the play. He even blames, repeatedly, Green Bay for not knocking it down.

Ugh. Now I want to punch my TV. And not watch Olbermann anymore.

Who gives a **** at this point, and why is he still getting air time? He's a troll.

Nobody should ever watch Olbermann. Guy is a clown. Easley is a money grabbing POS

IMO the Olbermann show has been the first show on ESPN to actually provide insight behind the curtain and call out the network for its BS. Its been really good so far, with some pretty sizable misses.

But putting Easley on the air is unforgivable.

He's been doing interviews the past couple of weeks to pimp his book.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Didn't he already admit he screwed it up 100 times? Maybe not, but this guy had no credibility as an official before that game. Scab.

He can claim the NFL stood behind his call all he wants, but the fact is the real refs got their concessions 3 days later.

He's a huge Seahawks fan, that's all you need to know.
