The Sports media is completely politically correct and this breeds a herd mentality. Boomer knew his broadcast colleagues would shake their heads approvingly.
Did Boomer, Nance and Sims say one thing questioning the alleged catch?
The ridiculous flag on Williams?
The no call on Gio?
The idiot rules "expert" describing the Shazier hit as "unfortunate."
What the hell is "lining up."
Shazier intentionally lowered his helmet and launched himself into Gio's face. That is fine and "unfortunate" but Burfict pulling up and hitting Brown with his pads instead of his helmet after Brown lowered his head into Burfict is just wicked and deserves a three game suspension.
Why no reply of DeCastro tackling Burfict after the whistle blew? Why no comments on that by Boomer, Nance or Sims?
Don't forget DeCastro poking Gillberry in the eye the prior game. Of course no flag thrown on that play.
Where were Boomer, Sims and Nance and the rules expert on Porter being on the field?
The narrative is Steelers and Big Ben are awesome first class franchise with the great Rooney family and Bengals are cheap. chokers, thugs, and second class.
That is the bias every game for the officials and the announcers. It is part of their sale presentation - the "good guy" Steelers versus the "evil" Bengals.
Another game in Cincy like this playoff loss could result in a riot. The NFL will be to blame for this. They need to have personal fouls and pass interference calls eligible for reply given the complete subjectivity with which these rules are applied by part time old men officials who are not in shape and who do not study game film full-time to get some consistency in decisions.
