But officials rescinded the call moments later, leaving the Lions facing fourth-and-1. Detroit punted, and Dallas then drove to the winning touchdown for a 24-20 final score. Obama said he watched the game and told the newspaper that he couldn't "remember a circumstance in which a good call by one of the refs is argued about by an opposing player of the other team with his helmet off on the field, which in and of itself is supposed to be a penalty. The call is announced and then reversed without explanation. I haven't seen that before. So I will leave it up to the experts to make the judgment as to why that happened, but I can tell you if I was a Lions fan I'd be pretty aggravated."

In the interview, the president also lamented the poor performance of his hometown Bears. “Given the performance of my Bears, I can’t have too much sympathy for the Lions,” Obama said. “You guys were in a lot better position than we were. I’d love to have your defense right now.” Last Edited by Neptune Fabman on 01/07/2015 05:52 PM ...Your Own Personal Jesus... |
