NBCSports It was a horribly bad call, but Congress has MUCH more important things to do than to Monday-morning-quarterback a game.

NBCSports The courts are running out of money by Friday but THIS is important? Football is now political and stupid and end of the day overrated

NBCSports Crybaby Saints fans. Obviously this should take priority over ending government shutdown.

NBCSports Really? This is what congress has to worry about?

NBCSports This is absurd! We have REAL problems to deal with. It was a missed call - has happened before and will happen again. Human beings are not perfect. Get over it already!

NBCSports We elect morons and then wonder why our government resembles a dumpster fire.

NBCSports I’d rather hear him answer questions aboy Kaepernick7 still being blackballed by the owners!

NBCSports So, it's come to this. Whining adults that will not accept the result of a contest.

NBCSports Seriously? Just another sign of entitled Dems throw tantrums and trying to change the outcome. Wake up people. They only have their personal interest in mind. And I'm a Saints fan but this is ridiculous.

NBCSports This is ridiculous, it’s a game. We have Americans who are suffering, please stop this pettiness.

NBCSports My followers already know my sentiment about NFL referees. I believe, they would have to be accountable starting next year. They have being watched.

NBCSports Saints need to be at the super dome !!!!!

NBCSports Break NFL into rival leagues? Not a bad idea.

NBCSports Oh Geeeeee....all the problems we have going on and someone wants to hash over a call in a professional sport. Any moment now I will wake up and realize this was just a joke running through my sleep fogged brain.

NBCSports Can you please invite joehaden23 to this meeting? He may have a question or 2 as well.

JacquesDoucet NBCSports Good job Cedric. Maybe Goodell will come out of hiding with a subpoena from judiciary comm of US

NBCSports The only way to wake up the NFL on this issue , take away their tax status.

NBCSports RepRichmond the government is shut down people aren’t getting paid and while you work and get paid we are all glad that the NFL is what you are worried about. Can you PLEASE get your priorities in place!

NBCSports Wow. I'm sure there's more important things to worry about. Priorities anybody?

NBCSports So there are no other pressing matters of concern? Open the government! Let’s focus on that!

NBCSports Move on. This is silly.

NBCSports TheOnion Did you write this?

NBCSports Can we please focus on other more important stuff like the 800k people not getting a paycheck? Or that we have a Russian agent in the White House.

NBCSports Don’t they have better things to do

NBCSports Terrible calling but this is ridiculous! We have way more important things to deal with than football right now.

NBCSports Why is Congress avoiding doing anything productive?

NBCSports

NBCSports reprichmond maybe he can help untangle your shorts that seem to be in a wad. Maybe your time could be better served actually doing real work!

NBCSports Really

NBCSports Has this guy ever watched sports before? Refs miss a call and the game and life goes on. Stupid call in Washington and millions potentially suffer. Now get back to work!

NBCSports I’m sorry, Congressman, do you not have better things to be doing with your time?! I really hope this headline is a joke.

NBCSports Uh, as fucked up as that no call was, I think we got more important shit happening that deserves a bit more attention than this... might just be me tho

NBCSports While you are at it, can he subpoena my HS soccer referee assignor? There was an obvious foul missed in one of my games last year.

NBCSports We have real issues to talk about. It was a horrible mistake that probably made the rams win. It was a football game. Let’s work on real problems.

NBCSports Are you going to go back decades and right all the wrong calls?!?

NBCSports Gtfo with this bullshit. I can’t tell you how many years I watched my team crash and burn over a bad call. That’s the way the cookie crumbles, get over it. That’s why there’s a next season.

NBCSports SOMEONE TELL THIS GUY FOOTBALL IS JUST ENTERTAINMENT . THE PLAYER ARE ALREADY PAID TO PLAY . BUT THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO PAY THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE WAITING FOR THEIR CHECK. GET OVER IT ALREADY.

NBCSports nflcommish someone in t-r-o-u-b-l-e...

NBCSports This is a bit absurd!! Yes; it was a bad call, but they had PLENTY of chances2put this team AWAY b4it got to this point🤔 dontleavegameup2refs

NBCSports How about spent 100 percent of your time ending this shutdown. This is ridiculous

NBCSports This has to be fake right?

NBCSports Hey Cedric! It doesnt really who won because TB12 will be on the field for the big game. So reprioritize your DC gangsta activities and get the govt going again will ya?

NBCSports This can't be real. Right?

NBCSports Open the government first, please.

NBCSports Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of government workers, including constituents of CedricRichmond are not being paid. But sure, his football team is important.

NBCSports Yeah, because football is obviously way more important than fixing a broken immigration system, making our country more secure and earning your paycheck representing the people of the United States

NBCSports First TSA now this? Does the government shut down know no end?

NBCSports This is pathetic.

NBCSports RepRichmond seriously? Think there are more pressing issues in our country than that game

NBCSports Stay in your lane, Congress.

NBCSports Nothing says abusing your power like hassling the commissioner of the NFL because you think your team got screwed.

NBCSports Fuck getting the government open, let's tackle the real issues. You better believe that pun was intended.

NBCSports Is this a joke? The Onion?

NBCSports This is no doubt getting more serious nowadays with the widespread sports betting. Hmm. 🤔

NBCSports Probably best to let sleeping dogs lie or Goodell will have to bring up the crap calls that benefitted New Orleans

NBCSports Keep politics out of sports. Ask espn how that worked out. Just stop it. This is not necessary

NBCSports Maybe he should concentrate on reopening the government

NBCSports RepRichmond with all of things the US House of Representatives should be investigating and conducting oversight, the bad call by a referee in a football game is definitely NOT one of them.

NBCSports Helloooo! So it’s illegals and rich NFL players before American citizens and the unpaid fed workers. Typical Lib.

NBCSports FFS!!

NBCSports ....and yet we cannot get the government working again...

NBCSports I’m so tired of these crybabies idk what to do. Congressman how about you figure out why our state is dead last in almost everything instead of crying about a freaking football game!!!!!!!!

NBCSports And yet NO ONE is talking about the rams players' helmet & durag being ripped off his head... IDC how you want to say it, that was no accident. Reaching out & pulling another players head coverings off is NOT AN ACCIDENT.

NBCSports Nothing better to do? 🤷🏼‍♂️

NBCSports This an early SNL skit, right?

NBCSports How about asking saints defense why it couldn’t prevent rams field goal in final two minutes

NBCSports The tears are wonderful!!!

NBCSports This is getting ridiculous

NBCSports I hope they tell him to have several seats.

New Orleans Saints fans have sued the NFL after the no-call in the NFC Championship GameLawsuits against NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell want game to be replayed. Wow. You know when this happens, we are screwed. Welcome to TrumpsAmerica. Disrupting anything and everything is fair game. Everyone is so over this but them. You had ample opportunity to win the game including OT & couldn’t get it ✅ Have a 💺 😂🤣😂 Saints fans need to look at game stats. Yea refs blew a call. Missed some on Rams too. How many times in red zone did Saints just get 3 points? 48 rushing yards didn’t have a good offensive day is what cost them the game not one call.😭😭😭

Saints fans urge Roger Goodell to call for NFC championship redoNFL commissioner Roger Goodell has the authority to take certain steps in the event of “extraordinarily unfair acts” that occur during a game and have an effect of the result. One of those steps would be to negate the outcome and play the game again. Do it! Get over it. It is part of the game. Get robots and replace humans. Way to much money. No way whosa

Analysis | Sorry, Saints fans: Roger Goodell was never going to overturn the result of the NFC title gameThe NFL rule book gives the commissioner the authority to overturn the result of a game for an “extraordinarily unfair” act. But it also says that “judgmental errors… by game officials” don’t qualify. He should have. And I am not a fan of either team, but that was just wrong. Perhaps it has something to do with the four quarters of the game preceding what happened, where the Saints failed to win. We have enough shit to worry about these days than worrying about sore losers. Get over it!! Would you like a participation trophy?
