The Worst No-Call In NFL History

The New Orleans Saints road to Super Bowl LIII ended on one bad "no-call" made by the referees.

The New Orleans Saints deserve without a doubt a spot in Super Bowl LIII.

Am I bias because I am a dedicated Who Dat fan, probably so, but I think even a non Who Dat would agree that they were robbed of victory!

The New Orleans Saints were denied a spot in Super Bowl LIII after losing to the Los Angeles Rams due to the referees not making the right call about a pass-interference play. The play was between Drew Brees who threw a pass directing it to Tommylee Lewis. The Rams player Nickell Roby Coleman tackled Lewis before the play was even carried out. A flag should have been called but the referees did not call the play. The game itself had been a frustrating back and forth points lead game all throughout, then it went so far as going into overtime.

Saints fans are so furious, that even local New Orleans attorney Frank D'Amico Jr. filed a lawsuit against the NFL and Roger Goodell who is the Commissioner of the National Football League.

The New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton was informed that even the officials of the NFL have admitted to them costing the Saints the game by not calling the pass-interference call that was also a helmet to helmet hit as well.

Thousands of fans are wanting a redo of the NFC Championship that then will determine the rightful team's spot in the Super Bowl.

From hype songs to local and online support and dedication to the Saints, fans from all over were getting ready for the Saints to have a shot at winning another Super Bowl since our win in 2009.

Even dedicated Rams fans themselves agreed that this was one of the worst no-calls ever seen in NFL history!

Losing because you didn't play up to snuff is one thing, but to lose because of the blatant wrongdoing of an official, a call they admit to having missed, just feels like a robbery. Hoping the Saints get a chance to earn their spot; but regardless, always a Saints fan.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
