You know in controversies like this, language takes a beating. You agree with Dungy about a controversy, and it's nothing more than agreement about a controversy, and...he is the rare man of "reason"
Meanwhile we KNOW that if the situation were reversed, and the Rams lost a key game where there was a key non-called PI late, under those conditions the person who said the opposite of Dungy would then be the man of "reason."
BTW I agree with Dungy. But that only goes so far. My own view is that in controversies like this there is no "truth," just different views. No one wins these things and things like this will always happen.
....
The thing I like is that Dungy didn't take a side. He acknowledged that a call was missed that affected the Saints (which no one disputes), and that that others were missed that affected the Rams (which the ham handed fan doesn't care to see).
This is reason in its highest form, to examine things equally from various perspectives. I don't do fan-think or biased thinking (at least I try hard as hell not to).
Yes he did take a side. He quietly criticizes the Saints for complaining. In fact as "gotchas" go it's a good one.
