The officials called back that terrific catch and run by Ray Rice because of a supposed block in the back by Anquon Boldin, but the replay showed it didn't happen. He reached out for the defender, who fell to the ground and jumped up gesturing for a flag. Obviously, it was a pretty good acting job, but a disgraceful performance by the official, who called something he could not have seen and negated the most exciting play of the game.
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.

Pete--What did you think of Steve Johnson's drop in the end zone today that would have won the game for the Bills over the Steelers?

What" new? At least we won "this game". Next week a call like that will be far more costly, but expected for sure.

Makes up for that BS pass interference call at the end of the 2nd half.

Pete, aren't you always blasting your readers for whining about B.S. calls? Who cares about that penalty? We won. Let's save the whining for Sunday.
