Tin Foil Hat Resting Jauntily On Your Head

did hesitate even in planning for the show

on whether or not Do we rehash? And I don't know.

It's like, I'm sure inevitably we're going to talk about the officiating.

It'll come up because it's just the huge part of the narrative.

The one thing I'll say that as far as the, my IR to the IR show, um, Jason, I think you had asked, do you feel like other teams have the same problems with officiating as the Saints do with refs? And Wesley was like, yeah, every team's fan base feels like they're fucked over by the refs.

And while I would agree with that, I think there are degrees of severity.

I think every team's going to walk away from some games being like, ah, the refs screwed us.

then you're going to have like maybe one third of the teams feel like the refs are always screwing us.

And then you have the saints who have justifiable evidence of definitely the worst call or no call in the history of the sport.

And what I would argue, like this shit with Detroit versus the, the fumble in Detroit or non fumble in Detroit and the fumble this past weekend against the Raiders is, when you put it together it's yeah other teams got screwed by that same kind of a call other teams got screwed by the sacking of the quarterback the same day that we did as well but when you combine all of ours together it's just and i'm not going to put the tinfoil hat and say it's a direct conspiracy against us but man like why the fuck does it happen to us the worst

i i To kind of counter your point a little bit, is it only worse because we're fans of the team and we watch all the games? If we were to watch the Titans play every week, would they not? Now, listen, your point on the no call is 100% accurate.

Because of what was at stake.

Because of what was at stake.

But week in, week out, if we were to watch games with other teams, I think... every team probably get hosed by the referees at some point.

It's just more of a focus to us because our focus is solely on what happens to the Saints.

There is

a...

I would love somebody, like maybe AI could help us with that or if there is some kind of data out there that does show the screw job that happens when referees fuck up.

due to inconsistency in calling things or complete misses or intention...

Well, you say intentional.

You know what I mean? And I wonder where we fall on the chart.

You've seen those dot maps, right? Where they have teams who...

Whatever.

Fuck around and find out.

I'm so torn because...
