NFL pass interference replay rule won't return in its current form next year

I think it's impossible that the rule, the way that it is judged now, pass interference, the replay element, I think it's impossible for that to move on beyond this year. ... I think what is obvious to me is that the rule in its current form will not be back next year.

The NFL did indeed scrap the pass interference replay rule after the 2019 season.

The Washington Nationals are a wagon

The Nationals are a wagon. Especially, I saw this fact earlier, when they're wearing those blue... color rush uniforms, they're 20-1.

The Nationals did indeed sweep the Cardinals and went on to win the World Series in 2019.

Bryce Harper should get a World Series ring if the Nationals win one

Bryce Harper should get a World Series ring if we win one. He got this whole thing started. He said, 'I'm here to bring a title back to D.C.' Bryce Harper, we're doing it for you.

Hot TakeBaseballHotSarcastic
Harper did not receive a ring, nor would he realistically be eligible, as he was on a different team.

LeBron James' statement on China was so bad he could have claimed it was 'Opposite Day' 10 minutes later

He actually – it was such a bad statement that if he had come back and 10 minutes later been like not or like opposite day, he would have been good. He would have been good if he was like everything I said, that was a joke. I meant the opposite of that.

This is a subjective opinion on the quality of a PR statement.

NFL officials are individually better than ever, but overall officiating is worse

I think the officials from top to bottom are better, but the officiating is worse. And, you know, it's been created by replay. It's created by a system that's called 'O to O' Officials to Officials. They now have the replay guy in their ear. They have New York in their ear. It's easier to sit back and think that things are going to be corrected for you.

This is an expert opinion that can't be definitively proven but carries significant weight given the speaker's background.

The NFL's decision to overturn Zach Miller's touchdown catch was close to laughable

They have officially tried to sell the fact that they were correct with their ruling on the field, which I'm sorry to say, but I don't want to call it laughable, but close to laughable... there's no part of that element of that play that is clear and obvious to overturn.

Pereira's view was the overwhelming consensus among experts and fans; the league's adherence to a technicality was widely criticized.

Any potential player ejection in the NFL should be reviewable

I think that we are at the point in this game where any potential ejection ought to be reviewable... because if everything's about players' safety... then if there are egregious acts that don't get called, even if they get called and they're not ejected and should be, then I think replay ought to be able to jump in.

This remains a subjective matter of league policy, though the NFL has since expanded the 'SkyJudge' and replay roles in various ways.
