I do agree that he was out as the rule is written but that was a goofy way to determine if a receiver is out or not. It would be like saying something didn't dive into a swimming pool because his toe bumped the edge of the pool.
@@Alxnick what's the difference between a player's foot coming down out of bounds and his hand coming down out of bounds, when it's the first thing to make contact with the ground? If the suddenly changed the rule and said "well, hands don't count" then literally everyone would go apoplectic as soon as the rule went against their team
The first call the Antonio Brown OOB Dez Bryant, the obstruction at 3rd, there are a lot of good calls in these clips. Not sure about calls that changed the game, or actions that changed the outcome.
Uhh hey I agree but umps are human too just saying cause sometimes refs will miss obvious calls (no pi call in the nfc championship game) yeah soo don't say that cause maybe you be a u ump for awhile and see how hard it is.
At least somebody agrees with me saying that they're humans just like the rest of us and we all make mistakes so we shouldn't be crushing anybody for at all finally my type of crowd other than that sometimes my God some of these rules that they have to follow as officials that's ridiculous how large of robux do they have to follow woof is how bad that is man. If nobody cares about my opinions I'm fine with that but don't crush me like I'm not a human being just like the rest of you plus I'm trying to stay positive and I'm not in the mood for negativity in my life anymore. Goodbye have a nice day wherever you are and stay safe stay humble and see you next time.
1:18 I'm not even a baseball fan, but I'll never forget this call to take away the perfect game. Always wished the MLB could have made an exception and just put it down as one anyways
Horrible call. But the level of class with Jim Joyce (ump) and andres (pitcher) in the aftermath was the definition of professionalism. Again though, horrible call
I'm not a baseball fan and because of this, Gallaraga is the only pitcher I can name regarding perfect games. That "perfect game" is more infamous than any real perfect game is famous.
@@ExtremeSquared plus it was the 27th out, and he immediately got out 28. Everyone with the slightest knowledge of this game agrees it was a perfect game.
One of those calls that every sports fan in North America, if over 10 years old at the time, would remember, still curious what the TRUE reasoning of Jim Joyce was internally on that one...
The worst call in sports history is probably against Gallarraga, completely blowing a perfect game. For reference: over the 140 years of Major League Baseball history, and over 235,500 games played, there have been 23 official perfect games. That's just how rare this event is and it was completely blown on the last out of the game....
@@zebraneighbor6383 well I know whenever I’ve been safe when I played I never put my hands on my head in surprise lol so I think even the runner knew he was out
@@jakeheerwagen8007 He's surprised by the call, that's for sure, but he's more just shocked that he got so lucky. He's not upset at being safe. He just can't believe it.
@@dustypier3835 If he was upset he wouldn't have taken that call so gladly. Why would you ever be upset at an umpire giving you a break? What, you think he was rooting for the Tigers? He wouldn't have tried to run to first base.
I love that one cause karma came back and hit the Saints hardcore. They were doing it to every team that year and then boom it comes back and cost them the game. I loved every second of it.
6:44 *I actually agree with that play.* He got tripped-up by the player on the _other team,_ if he didn’t, then he would’ve made it. So, I think it’s fair call.
It's absolutely the right call, there's a few of these on there like the Auburn-LSU one or some NBA buzzer beaters. Also the ump who made the obstruction call is Jim Joyce, the same one who blew the perfect game call. He's on that World Series crew for a reason, they made the right call and seemed to get the explanation to the teams/fans in a pretty orderly fashion all things considered.
@@isolated_rewind2058 6:49 the team _still_ had to *catch* the ball, and when the player tried running to home, the third baseman lifted his legs and tripped him up
That perfect game being ruined is the worst by far. If it's even a close call at that point how do you not just call the out? Having called him out and being wrong has way less ramifications than calling him safe and ruining a perfect game
Totally agree. I’m not risking it if I’m Jim Joyce - that’s once in a lifetime stuff right there (if you’re lucky)! If it’s close, I’m calling out. To his credit, Jim Joyce handled it well, but still just such a terrible mistake. I’m not even a tigers fan and I’ve never been more mad at an official in any sport. Never should’ve happened.
@@drugsmadilla Politely disagree. A perfect game is just that. 27 up, and 27 down. 26 has not yet earned it. Not if the runner seems to have beaten it out. Tough situation for Jim Joyce regardless.
@@martyklestadt6766 I'm saying that if it's the last out of a perfect game, I'd error on the side of calling someone out and giving the game to the pitcher vs the other way around
Let's hope it happens. I'm just happy that Gallaraga and Jim Joyce have become friends, with Jim Joyce publicly expressing his apologies for the call. There's not a day he probably doesn't think about it.
I have no issue with refs or umpires making mistakes. We’re all human. But today, those mistakes should be rectified by instant replay, viewable from multiple angles.
yea i don't know why some plays are not reviewable seems really stupid to go off a judgement call when you have cameras covering every possible angle with slow mo
@@bigstopowens If you want every play to be reviewable the games would slow to such a pace that they would be even harder to watch than they are now. And I would disagree with the other comment that every possible angle is covered. That is simply not true. Take the angle of the football looking like it was "clearly" inside the goal post. Was it really? Or did it appear that it was because of the angle? Perfection isn't the goal. Excellence is.
@@greathoonta3461 Well now here’s where the problems really arise. Almost every play can affect the outcome of a game. I understand your point. And I completely agree with you. Replays should be limited. Challenge as many plays as you want until you lose the challenge. Then you’re done for the remainder of the quarter, period, or half.
Great video! I misread the title and thought it meant calls that resulted in rule changes permanently altering the sport, which would also be a cool video.
Second clip was quite literally the WORST CALL EVER. One of many by Jim Joyce. Sad part is, the commissioner's office has the power to overturn the call back then and refused (precedent for that is the Pine Tar Incident). It would not have affected any statistics in a way that would have altered anything, just given a kid a perfect game.
The difference between the Pine Tar rule and Joyce's blown call is that the pine tar thing was determined to be an incorrect application of the rule, while Joyce was "a judgment call." Same reason why the Orioles couldn't do anything beyond filing a protest when Jeffrey Maier reached over the wall in the playoffs. They won't reverse a judgment call. But with the pine tar, they ruled in the Royals favor because Billy Martin had basically tried to loophole the rule, it wasn't in place for competition reasons. It was a holdover from the days when they had way less balls and didn't want the pine tar getting on them because it was spread higher on the bat.
@@inarar5334 the pine tar thing is actually even more interesting than that. The umpires applied the rule correctly, it was just a super outdated rule that was never about competitive advantage. And 8 years before there was a similar ruling on a protest also involving the Royals, also with the same idea that it was an outdated rule and a homer with a pine tar bat was allowed. And of course in true MLB fashion it took them until 2010 to actually change the rule where a team has to challenge the bat before it gets used. And yeah judgement calls don't get overturned, and I think the MLB actually removed the protest from games a few years ago so we won't get another Pine Tar Game again.
@@inarar5334 interesting, thank you. What about if Joyce just said like I had a brain fart, I meant to say safe, can he reverse the call? Or if another ump comes over and says I saw that he was safe? Basically was (pre replay era) there anyway to change the call on the field once joyce called out?
@@jasonanno3881 I think that if the ump who makes the call immediately reverses it, or if another ump does come over and say they saw it the other way, yes. If I remember the Joyce blowing the perfect game incident correctly, he was the only one in position with nobody else with a better angle. He just blew it "honestly" and in real time, and didn't learn he was wrong until he saw the tape himself. It's the exact kind of scenario they finally caved on limited replay review to combat.
I still don't know why the league wouldn't reverse the call. With 2 outs in the 9th, it's the perfect scenario to do so. For the moment between when he stepped on the bag and the call was made the game was over.
Pretty sure that wasn't even the end of the game when Crabtree pushed off in the Raiders/Chiefs game. I feel like that's the same game where the Chiefs got a PI penalty the next play, and then the Raiders scored the game winning TD on a free play
That Raiders call against the Chiefs did not change the game. They would still end up getting a touchdown after a few defensive holding calls and untimed downs.
How did the video not include the fail mary? I was at the game celebrating my birthday, and my first/only packers game i've been to. My dad who was a seattle fan even told me "don't worry about it they have to overturn that call there's no way that was a td"
As a Seahawks fan I feel for you. Totally should have been called for the Packers. Im not saying that im not happy that the call went our way, Just that it should have gone the other.
WHERE THE HELL IS THE 2004 CALGARY NO GOAL FROM THE CUP FINALS???????? for those of you that don't know, the flames got the puck in the net in tampa's net in GAME 7 of the finals but the ref's didn't review the play and it didn't count. So when Calgary should've won the cup, they didn't
Game 6 in overtime to be specific. Tb won later in ot to send it back to Tampa for the 7th game. Yes the puck was in the air over the goal line. But the goal did not get counted even with a few clear angles.
How would you feel if hockey implemented a basketball style rule where if someone shoots and the puck is in the air before time runs out and goes in without touching the ground or a player, it would be a goal? I don't see why not.
in the LSU-Auburn one- "You can't tell if he's snapped it!" Ummm you can CLEARLY see the football on the ground with the clock at 0:00, then he snaps it. hahaha strange call there
On that play, Carlos Gomez reached over the wall to rob a homerun off the bat of Joey Votto; however, in all of the excitement, never showed the baseball to anyone (at least not right away), which led Votto to believe that maybe Gomez didn't catch that ball after all.
I'm a Cowboy fan, and the first play here was correct. His hand hit out of bounds, so not a catch. Dez got screwed on some other catches (including the one against Green Bay shown later), but this catch against the Giants, he landed out of bounds. In the catch that they took away from him against Green Bay, I'm convinced it was a catch. I'm not sure it would have won the game, because I think it leaves Dallas with 1st and goal, and even assuming they score a TD, it's a one point lead. A 3 point lead if they also make a 2 point conversion. Green Bay had been moving the ball well, Aaron Rodgers was playing very well, and there would have been nearly 4 minutes left, so plenty of time for them to get at least a field goal, and possibly a TD. Regardless, "Dez caught it". He caught the ball, and took 3 steps with it, switching hands to try and stretch out to the end zone. That's a catch, and the Cowboys should have been given the chance to play it out. The second play shown, the ump just plain decided that he wasn't going to let the pitcher have a perfect game. No matter what it took. That wasn't even close, and he knew it. The ump should have been kicked out of baseball for that. Perfect games are so incredibly rare, and the ump just decided "No, screw him". The batter was out by 3 or 4 feet.
Rule 8, section 1, article 3, item 4 of 2014 NFL rules book: . If the ball touches the ground after the player secures control of it, it is a catch, provided that the player continues to maintain control. Ball touched the ground, Briant does not maintain control, therefore it's an incomplete pass
Cowgirl fans are the biggest crybabies in the US. It was not a catch against GB. They explained it, but Cowgirl fans I guess are not smart enough to get it. Only Cowgirl fans thinks it was a catch.
Meh, cowboys were gifted a victory in the WC game just before Vs Detroit by the officials. Dallas didn’t didn’t deserve to be there in the first place (though yes, that was undoubtedly a catch)
In that Hornets/Magic game, the officials waved it off because they'd already decided there wasn't enough time for a catch and shoot in the time remaining, which was 0:00.3 (three tenths of a second). If anyone was at fault, it may have been the clock operator. That was a playoff game, one the Hornets did end up wining in overtime.
@@cristianvilla3737 Okay, it was seven tenths of a second. I did go back and watch the time, and the ball has clearly left Davis' hands when there are three tenths of a second left.
2:08 The second clip of the kick is unreliable, as the angle is off and the height of the ball above the post gives the illusion that it was on the inside of the post. The first clip shows that the kick missed by a HAIR.
Rule 8, section 1, article 3, item 4 of 2014 NFL rules book: . If the ball touches the ground after the player secures control of it, it is a catch, provided that the player continues to maintain control. Ball touched the ground, Briant does not maintain control, therefore it's an incomplete pass
@@Tzoreol im guessing you're referring to the Green Bay game. How many times has a player ever caught the football with 2 hands, took two steps with the ball in both hands, and put the ball into one hand and reach for the endzone and it been called incomplete? Once. Dez Bryant. Since when is catching with two hands, taking multiple steps, and lunging for the end zone not a catch?
@@civilhate5876 Calvin Johnson pretty famously, also Jesse James game winner vs the Patriots. Cowboys fans are just huge babies. It was the correct call according to the rules.
@@Tzoreol Bryant maintained control the entire way through, Bryant should’ve been ruled down by contact since his knee and arm touched. Even the nfl came out and said it was the wrong call idk how you can argue against the damn league itself 💀
2:47 bottom of the 19th inning, that ump was just ready to go home lol I refuse to believe this ump didnt do this on purpose knowing he was full of it.
In college, if the ball is over the upright, it is no good. In the NFL and high school, it is good. That was a bad angle for the camera since it was not directly under the right upright. The only one who truly knows the answer is the official standing directly underneath. I would've called no good as well.
@@The22ndDoctor I never knew about that comma/period thing until now!!! Thank you for filling me in on that! BTW, you are absolutely right about the ball being outside the goal.
I'm a 9er fan. Rookie George Kittle had a very similar play the following week and kept control of the ball as he forced his arms over the line for the TD. At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked him about his play and the similarity to what happened to Jesse James, and Kittle said that he had that play in his mind as he caught the ball and didn't want a repeat, that he wanted to get the catch right. So at least somebody was paying attention lol.
Funny how people never mention the horrible call that benefited the Saints not long before, the call that allowed them to be in the position to possibly win the game to start with. Refs should never decide games but that call was simply rectifying the previous horrible call.
@Benny Pit the Saints received many favorable non calls throughout the entire game before that missed PI. The non call is indeed terrible bit if it wasn’t for at least 4 non calls that went in New Orleans’s favor the Rams would have probably had the game secured up to that point
@@bennypit4411 Any official who says (or even thinks) this should be immediately fired and banned from ever working in the sport again. Bad or missed calls are part of the game. You live with them. But an official should never make a make-up call. Ever. And I'm a Rams fan.
The Jessie James play was a catch as was the second Dez play. One of the reasons they need to bring back the touch down rule where you actually have to touch the ball to the ground.
The James play by rule is incomplete. I dont know why outside of Steelers fans anyone disagrees. The Steelers by the way are probably the one franchise with the most "curious" calls in their favor! James comes down and the ball CLEARLY moves no question. It just so happens Brady who owns them did it again. Otherwise it probably wouldnt even be talked about. Suprized the bs tuck rule isnt on here. I think all of the possession overturns in this video are wrong. I mean the nose of the ball has to cross on a run. But if you catch the ball in the end zone you have to complete a complete "football play"?
@@brianseneca3546 I am not a Steelers fan and it was stil a catch he had both feet on the ground, was in possession of the ball and made a football move. Having the ball come loose hitting the ground once he breaks the plane does not matter at that point. Even by the rules of the time it was a catch and a bad call by the officials.
Votto thought the ball hit the back wall first before it was caught in Gomez's glove. It would have been a home run instead of an out. There was no slow-mo from what I saw outside of this video so the motion blur would make it tough to overturn.
I've seen plenty of running plays where it takes less than 10 seconds to unpile everyone, place the ball, and get the next snap off. The 10-second runoff because the refs called a TD and stopped the clock is rough to watch. Had they made the correct call, there is a chance that the offense could have run one more play for that last inch. But because the ref made an incorrect call, time is allowed to expire. Tough way to end a game.
Im new to American football, I didnt understand crap about this play. He was 1 yard short? And the ref said it couldn't try again cuz it had only 8 seconds left?
@@CanalBonomo So normally after a running play that does not result in a first down or touchdown, the clock continues running. Under ideal circumstances, the players would quickly line back up, the referees would place the ball and get set, and the offense could possibly get one last play in if all that happened in less than the 8 seconds remaining. In this case, the referees called a touchdown so the clock was stopped. After they determined that the play did not result in a touchdown, by rule there is a 10 second runoff because had they not stopped the clock for the TD, then the clock would have kept running anyway and that is the average amount of time it takes to reset after an unsuccessful running play. So by calling it a touchdown, it completely took away any chance the offense might have had to run a final play.
@@CanalBonomo Yep. They would've had to hurry because it takes some time to un-pile everyone and reset, but at least it would have been possible. Calling the TD guaranteed it was the last play because of the required time runoff.
I don't know whether it matters but the heel of his hand hits first then moer of his hand touches out of bounds. he appears to have the ball secured before the hand hits.
@@RipTorn7 He was asking to see the ball, as proof that Gomez had caught it. Not sure why that one is on here, though--it wasn't a crazy call, just a great play.
The clock should have started on the deflection rather than on the catch. If the clock had started at that point the shot wouldn't have been released in time.
I'm not sure on that one either. The deflection occurs just after the time on this video turns to 12:05 and he releases the shot just after it turns to 12:07. Plus, the game clock starts before Ross catches it - it didn't seem to me that it started especially late. I don't actually agree with having enough evidence to overturn that shot. Let the teams decide the game in OT.
@@deja.vunathan my whole problem is he got the shot off in time with the game clock. If it started on the tip aka when it was supposed to he had the opportunity to shoot faster and make the basket.
As a Cowboys fan, I legit had to skip over that clip from the Dez Bryant catch against Green Bay that was called back. Years later and it's still too painful.
I remember cursing at my TV when the officials waved off the game winning basket by the Hornets' Baron Davis. However, the game was tied at the time, and the Hornets did wind up winning in overtime.
Kinda funny how Stafford was never able to win a playoff game in Dumptroit in 12 seasons but wins a Superbowl his very 1st season with a different team. And MCDC is a 8itch, no wonder his husband left him and his Trans reassignment surgery is obvious.
I remember that Seattle packers game. 1st half seahawks sacked Rodgers 7 times 2nd half not at all. That's because o line held as if thier lives depended upon it. Amazing slew of no calls. Lol.
@@camerontuma3526 That was not a catch. By the NFL rule at that time, he had to maintain possession all the way through the ground. The ball clearly popped up when he hit the gorund. No catch. Cry more, Cowgirls fan.
Bro let's be real sports r scripted for the most part... It's so obvious they're there strictly for entertainment purposes hell it even says it on the back of sports tickets lol... Sports r scripted and rigged big time.
The fact that a majority of plays like this cannot be overturned is insane. Its to the point now that almost every call in baseball and football just needs to be reviewed immediately because the officiating can be so bad.
As improbable as it sounds, the call at 2:50 was likely correct. Even though this gets cited as an all-time missed call, Jerry Meals got it right. The catcher missed the tag. This play brought video review to the MLB, which is ironic since review may have actually confirmed it.
Yeah, after seeing the video it was a correct call. It indeed doesn't seem like the catcher applied the tag at all. But good that it did bring video review into play.
No he was tagged clearly. You can see from either angle he was touched by the glove with the ball. Jerry did NOT get it right. The catcher knows if he tagged the runner or not. So, clearly you don't know what you're talking about
@@raycebaker6875 No he wasn't. The second angle from the first base clearly shows the tags were missed. Pittsburg sure has a bad history will close calls with the Braves, 1992 NLCS. Go Braves!!!
2:55 that umpire was interviewed a few times after this call. He said that he never saw the catcher's glove actually touch the runner on the swipe, though it was close. He apologized for making what he deemed was "obviously the wrong call" a little bit after the game, but has since said after looking at better camera angles in higher definition, reversed course and has said he was right initially and is convinced that there's no actually contact between glove and runner.
Obvious solution is for catchers to avoid the swipe tag on a play like that; if I'm behind home plate I'm giving the guy a bear hug after tagging him in the chest
@@joejackson3091 the thing is that calvin and Jesse made it to the endzone with possession of the ball with at least two feet in bounds before losing possession. Dez didnt on either play
@@deester7914 - Again, when you look at them objectively, all three are the exact same scenario, exact same call. Player's possession did not survive contact with the ground, no catch. Not saying it's not a really iffy interpretation of the rules, but it's the consistent application.
@@deester7914 Dez was in bounds the entire time. It was simply the rule of not surviving the ground, which shouldn’t have ever been a rule in the first place.
@@deester7914 WHAT???? Dez took 3 steps and dove toward the goal line! It was never a touchdown but a 1st and goal for sure! He lost possession and recovered. James turned and jumped didnt take two steps and didnt survive the ground in the endzone. Its clear
At least, despite what Cowboy fans think, 0:16 was the correct call...2:39, from that angle it looks in, but from the original angle which is the better of the two it looks out...
True, though from the angle under the posts it’s impossible to tell, as we can’t establish what point the ball is level with the post. They pause it momentarily, at 2:40 but that looks a fair bit short of the posts and it’s continuing to drift wider and wider.
@@The22ndDoctor indeed. This is what I’m saying. If they had the camera located level with the post, it’d be clear. As they’re at an angle, they’re making a rather poor guess as to when it’s crossed the line and still can’t tell how wide the ball is. 👍🏼
How could you miss the worst no-call of all time: the Rams' Robey-Coleman annihilating Tommylee Lewis at the 5 yard line for a first down that would have probably led to a Saints win and appearance in the Super Bowl?
Fail Mary was only about Tate's egregious OPI. He clearly, by rule, caught that ball. He established possession (simultaneous, but that counts) in the air, and was the first with two feet down. Missed OPI handed that game to Seattle, not an interception/possession call.
Yeah that throw beat him by a mile in the Pittsburgh vs Atlanta game. But when the catcher went to tag him out, he clearly missed him!! He never tagged him out, that's exactly why he got up after sliding and touched home plate!!
Titans Ravens 2008 AFC Divisional Playoff Game when Baltimore snapped the ball 3 seconds after the play clock hit 0 to convert 3rd and 14 to get into FG range on the game-winning drive.
Should have that Cowboys/Lions Playoff game on here where the officials screwed the Lions by reversing a clear pass interference penalty, and costing them the game.
Thank you. I thought I was the only one who remembers that call! Also, how about the receiver running around without a helmet which is normally flagged and ejected?
I absolutely love that call just because it was against Detroit lol worthless disgusting fucking garbage city full of subhuman trash. They don't deserve to even have a baseball team.
