So this is at least 4-5 times now that Darren has tried to flex on a kid for committing the crime of... being a drat kid.
Not gonna lie all his Tweet did was make me click on the larger version of the picture to try to figure out what game the kiddo was playing.

never mind the glaring obvious fact that Oklahoma gave up almost 50 points to an unranked team, we've got video replay to continue whining about, dammit!

This also continues deadspin's new tradition of whining about video replay (and especially VAR) even when the call was made or proven correct thanks to the replay.

A review that has to come down to Zaprudering two frames of slow-motion video is a review that doesn't need to be made. It's a sporting event, not a homicide investigation.

In college football a single loss can eliminate you from championship contention so that seems kind of relevant to their point?

The alternative outcome is "Oklahoma's undefeated season remains intact through bullshit non-call" so which one do you prefer?

That's the exact type of complete marginal poo poo that replay shouldn't be used for.

There should be a real time timer. If an official doesn't see conclusive evidence either way in a minute, let the call on the field stand. Even let the challenging team keep their timeout if it's a 50/50. The rules were designed to be officiated by people on a field, not people doing Zapruder analysis.

I felt the same way about the World Seires play a few years back where a runner was called out because his foot lifted a millimeter off the base for a tenth of a second. Who cares. If a reasonable umpire couldn't have seen it in real time what's the point of reversing the call?

Don't bring back football replay until you can use Atari graphics to determine whether or not there was a catch within 10 seconds.

an official not calling a failed onsides kick where the ball skimmed against someone's elbow at 9.5 yards wouldn't have been a "bullshit non-call", lol

The larger context shouldn't matter. Replay is a rule, and rules shouldn't apply differently if a team is undefeated or not. You can't say "It's fine to use replay to preserve a undefeated season, but not ok if it ruins it". A team that didn't manage to lose to Kansas St should get that playoff berth instead.

This is fine and I'm all for removing/reducing replay, but I don't really care if Oklahoma feels like they deserve the win just because they are Oklahoma.

No one likes bad calls but you still get plenty of those with replay and I personally don't think the benefit is really worth breaking up the flow of the game to spend huge chunks of time watching every borderline play frame by frame to rules lawyer out whether a guy came a fraction of an inch off the bag or if the ball moved too much to whatever.

Replay is a thing that should only be used for calls that are pretty clearly mistakes in real time. Really I think that's all a lot of us are asking for.

If something needs to be given a frame-by-frame analysis over the course of 4-5 minutes, it was a 50-50 call to begin and it more than likely didn't need to be scrutinized.

give replays a time limit; if you can’t solve it in 1 minute the call stands but any challenges used are retained by the coach

Have two people separated from one another upstairs or at a headquarters somewhere and give them one minute to look at the video. If they both decide the same, it’s overturned. If it’s split, it stands. If they both feel it was a correct call, it’s confirmed.

If you can’t decide in a minute, it shouldn’t be overturned anyway.

I'm very pro-replay but I agree with this. If you can't change the call after watching replay for a minute, then at worst it was a razor-thin mistake, not a blown call.

Making you happy for a buck since 199X
The NHL actually accidentally blundered into the right idea, just let coaches challenge whenever they want but penalize them when they make a bogus challenge. Now it's a penalty in the NHL to challenge a call and fail. Other sports should do the same thing: technical foul on the coach in the NBA (so 2 free throws plus the ball, and if he challenges unsuccessfully twice in a game he's gone), 15-yard penalty in the NFL.... OK, MLB is more complicated because everyone is so viscerally sickened by the idea of awarding free outs or bases. But gently caress MLB anyway.

Point is, if you make it actually hurt to challenge a call that wasn't obviously wrong, coaches will mostly stop doing it and we won't have to deal with that bullshit.
