and probably in any sport
Goes back to the Vinny Testeverde Phantom TD as time was running out. Seahawks vs Jets Dec 1998
Was stopped a full yard short of the endzone.
The explanation: some bs about a helmet looking like a football. Cost Seahawks a chance to make the playoffs and Dennis Erickson his job. Ushered in Instant Replay.
Seattle at Baltimore Ravens early 2000s. Seahawks had about a 3TD lead in the 4th quarter - as time was winding down - the zebras bothched things up BEYOND BELIEF and kept on giving the Ravens more chances under one minute...... Until they scored with time running out and won in OT UNREAL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Then the Super Bowl in 2006 - where EVERY call went against the Hawks -- I don't think the Steelers had a single penalty
And the the recent Cleveland game and the phantom block in the back on the 80 yard punt return for a TD
Sorry : I meant to say "team" not "time" in the post title.......... my gafe
