so I'm watching the Steelers and Ravens - who - 12-15-2008

Final minute Roth(long name) scrambling, pass complete refs spot the ball on the one yard line.
Review coming from up in the booth, TV keeps showing the replay and every angle shows both feet down with control of the ball while he's in the end zone.
This is what I don't get, tv commentator, declares the on field officials made the correct call, over and over, he keeps repeating this, minute later call is reversed TouchDown Steelers.
Are budgets that tight that they can't hire guys up in the booth that can see?

Suspect call at best.

I almost think if you have one foot in the endzone with control it should be a TD.Isnt that the way it is in college?

There was no way the booth saw the ball touch the goal line clearly.

Something I just thought off...With all those lasers and shit they use in tennis to see if the ball was in or out couldnt they put some type of microchip on the ball and have a laser go across the entrance of the goal line so when it crosses even for a second a light would go off?

I expect that idea to be stolen.I'm a giver.

Article from 2005. It relates to soccer. You're probably the first to think of it for american football.
