Title: [Ed Hochuli Doom and Gloom] $1.35M NFL replay challenge Post by: Fuzzy on December 30, 2008, 11:47:48 AM http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/36862239.html
Sucks to be Ryan Grant. Quote Instant replay can’t just cost a team a game, it can hurt the wallet, too. When referee Ed Hochuli reversed the ruling on the field that Ryan Grant had scored an 80-yard touchdown run in the third quarter Sunday against the Detroit Lions – and instead had just a 21-yard gain -- Grant lost $1.35 million. Grant could have earned a $1.5 million bonus if he reached 1,250 yards for the season. He only earned $500,000 for finishing with 1,203. Grant also could have earned another $600,000 for placing in the top five among NFC rushers. Grant finished sixth – 35 yards behind Matt Forte of the Bears – to pocket $150,000. “Yeah, that’s the way the ball bounces,” Grant said. “I told (running backs coach Edgar Bennett), ‘If we were playing in your day, that’s a touchdown. No replay.’” Title: Re: [Ed Hochuli Doom and Gloom] $1.35M NFL replay challenge Post by: Clive on December 30, 2008, 12:59:08 PM Gotta be someone he can sue. Just to make himself feel better.

He's already making $4M / year on his current contract prior to incentives. He has nothing to bitch about to begin with. Title: Re: [Ed Hochuli Doom and Gloom] $1.35M NFL replay challenge Post by: Clive on December 30, 2008, 05:18:02 PM I'm sorry, but I HAVE to call bull*feces*. We have folks here who light up old ladies for having too many items in the express lane, FFS. If a referee admitted that he blew a call and it resulted in your losing $1,350,000, your head already would have exploded with MFH.
Every player has "off" games -- name the season and RB who ran for 100+ yards in EVERY game. Luck plays into it, and the players accept that. Officials' incompetence shouldn't.

Just sayin'. ;) Quote “Yeah, that’s the way the ball bounces,” Grant said. “I told (running backs coach Edgar Bennett), ‘If we were playing in your day, that’s a touchdown.
