    The right call

    We're getting far afield here, but the record has to be set straight. The Music city miracle was, as the replay showed, the RIGHT call. In real time everyone I know thought it was a forward pass. Then, to all our surprise, replay revealed it was the right call. Remember that in that case, the "tie" would go toward the return team given that a parallel pass is OK. So, if years later you still think that was the wrong call, then the only explanations are (1) being blind as a bat (or a baseball ump) or (2) team bias.
