Hey @NCAA I did some checking to make sure this is real. It is. Straight from Raaphorst's own Facebook page. This is a wildly blatant conflict of interest and it took me all of 5 minutes to find it. Its the national championship. How the hell do you let this guy call the game? How do you not perform even the most basic of background checks? You can conduct massive investigations and ban players for match fixing, point shaving, and gambling on their own team, but you couldnt be bothered to make sure one of your umpires for the national championship dodnt have a preconceived bias? This would be like letting Alex Rodriguez be the homelate ump in 2004 in the ALCS against the Red Sox. Inexcusable and pathetic.
Go ahead. Pull my credentials. I dont give a damn.
All my kids years of travel\aau and school sports…ain’t none of them ever missed a practice. Not one. I didn’t allow it. 100% commitment. No excuses. Leave that for the non elite. They all started in college as freshman. Be different.
This basketball team is seriously so full of shit it’s comedy
Did u expect him to sit there and talk about blowing a 13 point lead
No he’s gonna find a way to give a shit “about player and faculty safety”
I legit hate that entire team
The same Bill Polian who:
- Got PI rules changed because Ty Law and Rodney Harrison regularly dominated Peyton Manning
- Got caught pumping crowd noise into the stadium during the 2006 AFC Championship Game
-Said Lamar Jackson couldn’t play QB in the NFL/should switch to WR
Bill Polian is responsible for the 100 flags you see a game. He couldn’t win so he complained and cried to the NFL to change the rules. He’s soft as puppy shit. Between that and today, he has damaged the integrity of football more than any individual since the games inception.
Belichick was the best NFL coach ever yesterday and that’s still true today and tomorrow.
The truth is — sports Hall of Fames don’t matter nearly as much anymore because we’ve screwed all of them up.
James cook the NFL’s rushing title leader this season not being on here is a result of bills fans and the media pushing the “Josh Allen has no help” narrative btw
This is absolutely stupid as a passer.
The funniest thing is that people pretend he’s not an elite passer😂he’s a top 5 pure passer and it’s not really debatable 😂
It’s actually not by the definition of a catch “when going to the ground”, which is the KEY component of this play!
If Cooks is NOT deemed going to the ground then you are 💯 correct it’s a catch & touched down without a doubt!
But when deemed going to the ground, I still have questions on how exactly that is determined, which he is here, he MUST complete the catch until the play is over: Survive the ground!
I do believe he very well might “survive the ground” here but B4 he gets the opp to do that the defender takes the ball from him & is the one who ends up with the ball at the end of the play! Thus, with the ball never touching the ground, must be called in INT!
