Gotta be a rough spot for ESPN. 3 of the 6 teams involved are in their Bottom 10 rankings and now they have to promote these as watchable games.
I guess 1 plus for them though is they can still get a Govt subsidy by having Olberpussy come on at halftime and tell everyone ( 20 degenerate gamblers) how great Obamacare is and to hurry up and sign up cus its free!!!

Never did understand that call. The QB barely had his back foot inside the 5 and they call that an intentional grounding safety?? He was never anywhere close to the endzone. The only possible explanation and this is complete conjecture is that there must be a rule that the intentional grounding is marked off from the spot of the throw and if its inside the 5 its an automatic safety....other than that it was the biggest blown call ive ever seen.

MAC apologizes for blown call that led to Buffalo safety against Ohio
"In review, the proper call was intentional grounding, however, Ohio's Tettleton threw the pass in the field of play and not from the end zone," MAC Coordinator of Officials Bill Carollo said in a statement. "This play should not have resulted in a safety. The next play should have been fourth down at the spot of the incomplete pass. This was an officiating error with regard to judgment and the officiating mechanics by the covering officials."
The call was not reviewable by replay rule. According to the AP, official Tom McCabe, the referee at the two-yard line when Tettleton threw the ball, admitted that he might have made a mistake after the game and that he was looking downfield instead of at Tettleton, who ended up in the end zone after he had thrown the football.
