Re: A Democratic Call

Wlady: Didn’t that same game also involve a bizarre ruling from the officials where they called a “no play” after what was clearly an off-sides on either Indy or Pittsburgh? Clearly one of the teams was guilty – either the defense was off-sides, or the offense had drawn them off-sides. The officials (not sure if it was Morelli) called “no play,” which I don’t recall ever seeing before in such a situation. Maybe they could have explained it better by citing “the evolving standards of penalty that mark the progress of a maturing sports league …”
