"This would be the last time a blown pass interference call in the Super Dome would benefit the Rams and hurt the Saints. Never happened again." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are you kidding that it never happened again? What about the Rams going into overtime on a ignored flagrant PI against the Saints that sent the Rams to a overtime win they should have never had and on to face the Pats in the SB? It was a PI NOT called.
MNF in Week 1 of that year saved lives. With it being so late, some people in New York overslept their alarms and didn't work up for work in the WTC on 9/11
Browns got screwed on Bottlegate 1. Don't care if the refs were having communication issues. If they let the Browns start the next play (the spike) then they lost the opportunity to review the play. The game is there for the players and the fans, not the refs.
@@giantsr1eva because the rules in all of NFL forever is once the next play is run, that's it, whatever the call on the field is stands and there is no going back. No one said they couldn't review it, they failed to do so and came up with bullshit reasons why they failed to do so and consciously made a decision to ignore a very well known rule. They placed a new spot for the ball and blew the whistle for them to run a new play, once that ball is snapped on the new play, whatever happened previously is over. There is no arguing that, that's how the game is played. It's still played that way today and I guarantee you will never see this happen again because of this day.
@@CulperCast Mike Pereira said that if you tried to replay the replay buzz, there would be no visual evidence to support it. According to that explanation, if the replay buzzed prior to the snap, then the previous play could be reviewed. If it was a legal review, it’s obvious that Quincy Morgan dropped the ball.
One notable exception for MNF's starting time on ABC was in 1998 when they pushed it up to 8PM Eastern because they were getting beaten so badly in the ratings by WWE Raw and WCW Nitro.
You may also want to consider that prior to this game, Saints WR, Albert Connell, was accused of stealing $4,000 out of the locker room from teammate, RB, Deuce McCallister. Connell would never play in the NFL again after signing a five-year, $13 million contract that included a $2.5 million signing bonus prior to the 2001 season. Imagine the distraction of the incident, especially of a highly paid player from the team. The Saints as a team wasn't focused because of the distraction and that blown call by the official in this game compounded the situation on Monday Night Football.
Cris Collinsworth showed a video of the official who said his caller was malfunctioning just before the snap of the ball showed him pick up his caller & looked at it, he just did not stop the play, then said oh yeah it malfunctioned. The Ref knew he had no right to do what he did. (Bottlegate.) so he had to lie.
Yup. That actually may be the most annoying thing to come out of the Watergate scandal. I wonder how many people today know that Watergate was the name of the building and that the scandal itself had nothing to do with water.
I’m so happy to see this comment thread. “Gate” is not a suffix dammit! I assume one person after Watergate did a parody of it because journalists back then actually tried but people seen it and a bad idea was born.
0:34 the refs were NOT trying to review the last play. If they were, the whistle would have been blown and they wouldn't have continued play. The fact is the NFL and its terrible officials STOLE this from the Browns. As soon as they snapped the ball, that previous play should have been over. They got a call from NY saying to review it, but they got the call AFTER the ball was snapped. The NFL doesn't always follow it's own rules, and most of its current rules are opinions (taunting, excessive celebration, etc). It is a way for them to control the outcome without it seeming too obvious. But this situation with the Browns was a blatant disregard for the rules. And it wasn't a simple 2 kneel downs to end the game. The refs ended it with 48 seconds to go (because they were scared for their safety), everyone went back into the locker room and undressed. Then NY called again and made everyone finish the game officially, so they all went BACK out to the field with the angry fans and the Jags kneeled.
@lalreadyhaveaname2 The referees overruled the spike play so that they could go back 1 play to review the incomplete pass. Quincy Morgan clearly dropped the ball which means that the pass is incomplete. The replay booth buzzed prior to the snap, so it was a legal review. The Browns could have drafted Donavan McNabb or claimed Kurt Warner of off the Rams.
@@giantsr1eva Whether replay was buzzed prior to snap is irrelevant; the buzzer doesn't stop play, the whistle does. The whistle didn't blow until after the Browns ran another play. The review was illegal.
@@redpillfreedom6692 Did you forget that we had this same debate 8 months ago on a different video? I thought that we had moved on. You still think I’m ignorant about the play, and I still think that you are capable of letting this go.
I came accross this channel a couple of weeks ago, and since then I've watched most of the videdos. I like this channel a lot. I would say I'm a "typically knowledeable" NFL fan who knows a lot of the history of the sport - yet, I've found an awful lot of stories here I've either never heard of before, or just knew it existed, but sweet little on the details level. Fantastic stuff. Thank you, and keep it coming.
Thank you for making this video. So few people remember the second game. I watched both games as a 12-year old with my uncle and I remember after the second incident I was like "well, I guess this is the thing now, huh." The difference here is that the PI call was questionable and probably a bad overall call, but nothing outrageous compared to what happens in other games. What happened in Cleveland was a complete unmitigated disaster from the officiating team. It's amazing to see how MNF now is basically the bottom feeder national game of the entire week. Back then, it was easily the biggest game of the week and we'd stay up that late to watch it.
If you look at the browns call they did get the call right but what I am surprised about is that the guy in the booth didn’t say oh you can’t review it because another play had gone.
Yeah cause that a nfl rule and was the first time in nfl history they went back and changed a play after another had been run it’s actually a very well known rule so the refs we’re definitely in the wrong for that
Same city as the first one, so the NFL decided to wipe THIS game from existence, and continues to persecute Cleveland as being the only ones to do this. But I think their fans have other reasons to be made fun of anyways
Browns front office doesn't get upset over their fans throwing bottles on the field... I guess Sam Wyche was right when talking over the P.A. against the Seahawks.
And who would of thought the Saints would get screwed "again" in a big game in their own stadium (also against the Rams) almost 17 years later after this Monday night game took place.
Funny how if this happened in Philly people would never let it go and you’d hear about it ever Sunday. Since it wasn’t you never hear about it and it’s swept under the rug.
@@Shadowkiller-dq2ju It clearly was not justified, the pass was clearly incomplete. How can calling an incomplete pass a catch perfectly okay but it’s okay to throw bottles when they review the play and call it correctly?
I was at this game(Saints). I remember it was the same year as the Browns. Didn’t realize it was just a day after. And YES After this game they started cutting off alcohol sales in the 3rd quarter and sold the beer with the cap off. It was a horrible call no doubt and I can still see the first bottle getting chucked onto the field lol man 2001 was a CRAZY year for the Saints. Same year as the Jets game with Kyle Turley right after 9/11 also sone memorable games With the Rams and Bucs also.
Not saying people should be throwing bottles at the refs...but if the refs actually did there job correctly, I guess no one would be throwing bottles at them.
This one was worse on the fans part, blown calls happen. *What happened in Cleveland was absolutely disgraceful by the officials; all of them should've been fired and the league should've formally apologized to Cleveland and all NFL fans.* Not condoning what the fans did, but it pales in comparison to the black eye that those officials left on the league. Disclaimer I'm a Vikings fan, not a fan of any of the teams involved here.
He was wrong when he said that this was the last time a blown pass interference call in the Super Dome would benefit the Tams and hurt the New Orlean Saints
bottlegate is the refs fault...there is nothing inherent about the people of Cleveland (and im no fan of Cleveland) that makes them more or less likely to behave badly...any group of fans that cares about their team and wants to show up to a game with faith that it will be officiated fairly would do the same thing......unfortunately we live in a society that punishes those who retaliate and forgives those who case that retaliation...you have to realize that the decision to go two plays back was just as bad as the bottle, because every action has an equal opposite reaction.
You're right. The referees held those fans families hostage and FORCED them to throw stuff on the field. It's not a dumbass and completely unwarranted decision grown ass adults made on their own.
I think that another reason the plastic beer bottles came into use was less waste. Instead of a vendor pouring a can of beer into a cup they just handed you a plastic bottle
Love this series. Great work... Have you done anything on the 1984 49ers almost going unbeaten. Only a loss to Steelers after a controversial pass interference call.
Maybe we should consider the cause, and not the effect. Poor, at best, officiating. Fix that, and fans won't try to cram objects into referee's orifices.
After the original Bottlegate ordeal the NFL made it clear they would pick and choose who they wanted to go to the super Bowl. Ref "The whole last 20 mins didn't count because we are going back a play and break every rule we have to give the ball to who we want to"
I'm a bit shocked that once the play was reversed due to the pass not being fully caught and ruled incomplete, forcing the Browns to turnover on downs and giving the Jags the ensuing drive in the process due to that overturn, the time clock wasn't resetted back to the accurate amount of time where the spot occured, which was about 1:02 left in the game instead of 48 seconds. Either way, the Jags would still win, but it would take an extra victory formation knee to run down the clock.
Baseball had long since stopped selling beer after the 7th inning. (Actually, they stop selling all food and drink, which is an annoyance to those of us who would still like something to eat.)
Al Michaels “brilliant” deduction (“Mathis was clearly holding on to Torry Holt”....when Mathis did NOT in fact hold Holt) is one of the MANY reasons why I’ve always thought he was overrated and a bore. His typical ass kissing of any call the NFL officials make (just to kiss up to the NFL itself) is nauseating
If these guys were so scared of plastic bottles they would have absolutely loved pre-Ruthian baseball when actual bottle dodging was just part of any pop up in foul territory and fights were routine.
Could be worse. In Britain it was quite common for soccer hooligans to bring darts from whatever pub they got drunk at and would throw them at anything that moved...
Boy, the Rams just have a history of screwing the Saints. What do you want to bet that when San Fran and the Rams play in the playoffs, the Rams will win by 30?
First off... Nobody should throw things at fan events. I will say this for those that want to actually go and watch. You get whatever you paid for! On the flip side. The fans were not wrong both times on this video. The NFL got Blasted in Cleveland for Bottlegate and New Orleans both for Garbage Officiating. In my mind they deserved every bottle threw there way in both games! It goes to any live performance. Put on a bad effort and those performing it should expect to get(Edit: less or no fans and those doing it) trashed off the stage. Put on a good show and they might just get another paying fan there to see the act!
If the result in this game affected the Saints for the rest of the season, then shame on them for their lack of professionalism, as they played beneath their abilities and weren't even competitive in their final 3 games. That's what I remember about the 2001 Saints, seemingly giving up on their season.
You forget the December 6, 1998 game between the Jets and Seahawks fiasco. Vinny Testaverde, QB for the Jets, ran for a touchdown. Instant replay had been rescinded a couple of years before this game as officials were taking 5 to 15 minutes to review plays. Looking at the jumbotron the only part of Vinny's that crossed the goal line was his big fat HEAD. Yes, there were a LOT of horrible calls in the league in '98 and the previous years since replay went away, but the league cited This Game as to why instant replay came back in the next competition committee meeting to discuss rules changes.
"This would be the last time a blown pass interference call in the Super Dome would benefit the Rams and hurt the Saints. Never happened again." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What's your favorite shade of orange?

If the result in this game affected the Saints for the rest of the season, then shame on them for their lack of professionalism, as they played beneath their abilities and weren't even competitive in their final 3 games. That's what I remember about the 2001 Saints, seemingly giving up on their season.
It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Where the hell is bottlegate 3?

Way overblown. European soccer fans light fireworks and flares in the stands.
You forget the December 6, 1998 game between the Jets and Seahawks fiasco. Vinny Testaverde, QB for the Jets, ran for a touchdown. Instant replay had been rescinded a couple of years before this game as officials were taking 5 to 15 minutes to review plays. Looking at the jumbotron the only part of Vinny's that crossed the goal line was his big fat HEAD. Yes, there were a LOT of horrible calls in the league in '98 and the previous years since replay went away, but the league cited This Game as to why instant replay came back in the next competition committee meeting to discuss rules changes.
I texted play to 63504 and Got no response
I remember this one.
Did the referees face any repercussion for such a historically terrible decision?
The Zebras handing the Rams a game against the Saints. What else is new?
The ending was good
