You say that you don't have enough evidence to conclude that the refs were biased, do you follow me so far?

Then, you say that Porter being on the field illegally caused Jones to touch the ref, do you follow so far?

Yet they call Jones for bumping the ref while he was going after a COACH THAT WAS DRESSED IN NORMAL CLOTHES, which I put that in caps lock so you realize that they couldn't have mistaken him for a player and thought that he was on the field legally.

You still follow?

Therefore, they were obviously bias in calling a penalty on Jones when the flag should have been on Porter and Jones never even should have had a chance to try and shove Porter and mistakingly bumping the ref.

Let's sum it all up:  You can't say the refs weren't biased when you also say that they allowed a Steelers player to break the rules first and provoke a Bengals player.

I hope I didn't lose ya anywhere in there. 


Refs get run into all the time in the field of play.  I've seen players shake hands with refs or hug refs (Doug Martin), yet they weren't flagged.  

Sounds like ambiguity to me.

There is no ambiguity in the rule. As for the part up top, let me see if I can get you to understand me. I said I did not have enough evidence to conclude the refs were biased. That's a period there. I wasn't talking about that one call (even though I made my position abundantly clear on that as well), I was saying overall. I said there was no bias (not that there is a lack of evidence for me) in the call because there were multiple infractions going on, but it took Jones hitting a ref to draw the flag. A penalty so egregious it is mentioned in the rules as being necessary to report to the Commissioner.
