But Childress said NFL vice president of officiating Carl Johnson acknowledged the mistake, revealing at his news conference that Johnson said he was "disappointed that the call was reversed."

only one person on earth thought the player "used the ground to secure the football"

where do they find such incompetent officials?

that game was especially baaaaad, although replay did bail them out a few times

Always wondered why every ref was a AARP card carrying member.

The apology does nothing, since as Dwayne Bowe stated, doesn't change the W/L column.

It's sad that I wasn't sure which game you were talking about until I read your post.

I was wondering if that was a "make-up" call for the other blown decision
giving the Vikings a TD on an incomplete pass.

actually, it was the Packers who got that TD too. The Vikings got the double whammy
