@@120mmsmoothbore2 Dude.. You wouldn't want to be a fan of the opposite team when a bunch of drunk people who's beloved home team just got robbed by the refs breaking their own rules (by going back two plays without a whistle being blown) of any chance to win (at the very end of the game) at home field. You would NOT want to be a jag fan at that time and would be wise to take that jersey off ASAP. If you think this is something that only applies to football however, then you would be sadly mistaken as humans are very passionate/emotional creatures in general (especially after a few inhibition breaking drinks)..
@@120mmsmoothbore2drunk people often start fights over nothing. These people were legitimately angry and in a crowd/mob situation/mentality, people often forget the consequences or assume that the crime can't be pinned on them because "everyone was doing it."

Try DECADES. With the history of the hard luck Browns, this is the single worst call against them, or any team, I have ever seen. Those officials were lucky to escape with their lives. And I say that without a hint of exaggeration.
Rice Waster Aleks there’s multiple times every year this shit happens. Just look at the damn saints getting screwed they should’ve been on the field killing refs.
The commentary from the booth here was fantastic btw. Seen similar controversial calls and booths bend over backwards defending the refs. This booth absolutely nailed this
Everyone focuses on the outlashing of the fans, but no one remembers that the refs broke their own rule by turning over a play that happened 2 snaps ago.
And I don't even need to have any notion of what the NFL "rulebook" says about this. You can show this to any spectator, player or referee, of any team sport on planet Earth, and 99% of them will tell you, that once a referee has made a ruling, he can only self-diagnose his incompetence by going back to that ruling, after allowing the game to resume until another referee's decision had to be made, and then bring it up again. The spiking of the ball wasn't even addressed, but without it this revision of an earlier ruling wouldn't have taken place and that's why the audience perceived the referee's behaviour as arbitrary retaliation towards the players in response to a mistake he was responsible for. And then calling the game, and be ordered back onto the field by a higher ranking official, made it even worse, as it is the second time the officials refute their own decision that led to the current situation and thereby declare themselves unable to take responsibility for their own actions.
To give extra context to this, a few weeks prior, the Browns were playing the Bears, and on the 2nd to last drive, the Bears completed a pass as ruled on the field, and ran another play before replay rang down to the officials. The ref stated that a play was run so the prior completion couldn't be reviewed. So now you have a case where an iffy call a few weeks ago wasn't reviewed because of how late the notice was, and now the exact same things happen here...and they go back and review it after the spike was run. Total incompetence by the officials.
The refs deserved exactly what the crowd did. Screw the announcers for admonishing the fans. They could have rushed the field and ripped the officials to shreds. The fact they didnt shows how classy they were. The announcers should have complimented the fans for showing restraint.
“A call that will probably be talked about in Cleveland for the next 6 months.” Many people outside of Cleveland are talking about it almost 18 years later. EDIT: 19 years later EDIT: 22 years later. Wow I haven't updated this in a while lol.

Well, it basically guarantees the end of the game so if you're a Browns fan, that's 100% way to lose the game for your team before anything could even be overturned.
throw hard enough you could tear your shoulder or throw your arm out, MLB players are known for throwing out their arms from throwing beer bottles every year.
@@exerciseaccount3271 whereas if they had stood silently by there would be a chance that the Jags bungle taking a knee and running out the clock...? Get real my dude, this was a legitimate form of protest which accomplished merely one thing: to ensure that this moment in the NFL's incompetence and borderline anti-Cleveland-conspiracy is etched into the history of the sport.
Also why they stop letting you buy alcohol in the last quarter of the game. Before this game you could buy alcohol whenever but they realized “if people are still drunk in the last quarter and we screw up, our lives are on the line”.
There's no excuse for that. I don't care what the status was with their communication system. Another play was run, end of story. Bad Call, and the referees involved in that fiasco should've been be fired.
The growing tension, knowing what’s going to happen, and the refs stupid decisions in the build up, all with amazing commentary just makes it so I can’t help but laugh as I watch this
I agree, but what wasn't justified was throwing bottles onto the field and eventually hurting somebody... I'm a browns fan, I get it, but you just can't do that and to end the game was the right call
@@austinburlingham0560fellow clevelander here they know how football fans are that may of been the worst sports call I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m not sure if the refs got in trouble for that but they should of.

I remember this well. McAulay had a history of really poor calls. He quit in shame in 2015. I was at a Browns game in 1989 and the Dawg Pound was throwing so many D batteries at the Broncos they had to play the entire game on the other half of the field.
@@Heyim18bro It's just much more impactful with the Browns, being that they're a historically shitty team (since their recreation in 99) and one of their few chances at the playoffs was killed by incompetent officiating.
I'm a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan. Other teams in the 80s hated playing Cleveland at home due to the Dawg pound. When we used to bombard the opposing team with snowballs..lmao. Awesome
@@colingordon0986 Too fucking bad. The fans should act like adults, not toddlers that have been told no. It's a game intended to distract us from the real issues and there will be more games next season.
The league conducts its reviews and punishments of officials quietly and behind closed doors. It's always hard to say who got in trouble, and for what reason, but I suspect that this crew got an earful from Tagliabue and the league. In fact, part of their punishment may have been telling them to get their asses out there and finish the game.
@@PlayStation_5247 Don’t you find that sad that writing off a spike play generated so much outrage but 20 years of war didn’t generate this much anger?

So the commissioner can call the refs and tell them they have to finish the game but yet can't tell them they can't replay a play after another play has been played!
Probably because the bookies only honor the bets if the game is played to completion. That clause is probably in there for concerns about weather, not riots, but all the same, the NFL is all about making Vegas happy. Now they just hide it as "fantasy football".
I had a teacher that was at this game and said he wanted to throw a bottle onto the field just to say he did it and his bottle ended up accidentally hitting a guy on the sideline that was running by. Needless to say he felt terrible about it. 😂😂😂
I grew up about an hour south of Cleveland, my parents always said how rude people in Cleveland were, and it was true. A bunch of them pissed off and drunk? Forget it, nail that fucking ref as hard as you can!
@Fire&Ice909 I can only come up with a few somewhat reasonable explanations that could've plausibly condoned the browns fans behavior that day 1st. The People (fans) exercising their right to remove a bad govt (NFL) 2nd... The Browns fans way of paying tribute to GOT and the "Red Wedding"🤣😂🤣😂💯💯💯!!!
@@buttersstotch2014 People in Cleveland are not rude smh. That was a reaction to a fucked up call and cheating refs. Your parents are rude for their generalizations of an entire city of people.
Completely justified reaction by this crowd and it would be the same way in every stadium across the country so dont act your team would be different if they were flat out fucked over like never before. Btw I hate the browns- just sayin
@@JP-ml1xe you are going to hate them even more for quite awhile! The Browns have in place a shit load of talent on both sides of the ball. More than likely will lead to a championship with in the next 2-3, years.
I was at this game as a kid. Still the scariest thing ever. The guy next to us always brought a radio to the games, on this day he threw it in the direction of the field. To this day, I wonder who he hit with that radio bc it sure as hell didn’t reach the damn field
I remember watching this in disgust on TV. I’ve never seen the refs screw a team so brazenly. That is until the 2018 NFC championship game, which, as I die hard Saints fan, I attended. I’ll be bitter about that game until the day I die.
The refs are lucky this didn't happen at old cleveland municipal stadium, new browns stadium is like a church compared to the old one, drunks would be ripping seats out and throwing them.
It was anything but Happy Holidays for America in late 2001. Last time anybody checked, America was still reeling from the terrorist incidents more than three months ago.
I’ve done a lot of away game traveling for my Jersey/tri state area teams. But one place I’ve never so much as worn my jerseys to is Philly for football hockey or basketball. Those people are fucking crazy. One of only two, now one, stadiums in the country with a built in jail, and judge on standby when games go on. I’d be running for the car and then hauling ass with my nonexistent nuclear holocaust go bag if this happened in Philly. My god
For all the screw ups the NFL has caused the Browns, at least they did ONE thing right. The ref that gave the Eagles a touchdown on what was obliviously a false start was fired.
I was at this game! This game, then New Orleans a few weeks later, resulted in the ban of bottles throughout the NFL. It's also why you have the 2 drink rule (plus malice in the palace) and aluminum bottles with the cap removed.
Steven Sweeden : Yes it’s funny. They fucked over the game and then they act surprised by the fans reaction. Plus they’re in Cleveland and the whole nation knows how dedicated the fans are. What ya gonna do🤷♂️
The end of this sham disgusted me. Cleveland got f*cked, and those refs should be ashamed of themselves. Not a Browns fan, Bills fan actually, but everyone who threw crap on the field was in the right that day. Hoped one of those zebras that had money on the game took a bottle to the dome, but it wasn't meant to be
I had the Fox game on TV at the Taco bell restaurant where I worked. I was cleaning my dining room when one of my regular patrons came in and said "Hey Ken! Change the station real quick! They're havin' a riot at the Browns game!". I switched the station and sure enough, all hell had broken loose at that game. My customers and I watched in disbelief at the mayhem going on in the stands. We just couldn't believe our eyes as we watched the refs and other officials were being pelted with bottles, batteries, and anything else the fans could get their hands on. I was cleaning a table and looked up just in time to see a ref get beaned with a bottle. Reminds me of some of the bars I played music at in the late '60s. Only back then, we had chicken wire to protect us from all those glass bottles. I'm surprised that Browns fans didn't try to lynch either the Jaguar players or the refs who officiated that game. A lot of my regulars saw that game and told me about it while ordering a trayful of tacos before the second game got started on Fox. That game was sure something.
Just recounting what happened that day. Obviously the younger generation doesn't know how to tell a story. I, like many others, were witnesses to football history that was made that day. Even outside of Cleveland, they still talk about it even today.
Why would you be embarrassed? Even in small instances, the authority must be reminded that they are here simply for the people. When they forget that and do whatever they want, they deserve beer thrown at them.
I was at this game. I was not far from the bone lady. Fans were throwing not only bottles but batteries, and I even saw a few Walkman radios thrown. I left the stadium covered in beer from people from the upper decks trying to throw beer to the field.
I’ve never seen such disgusting acts of rule violations in my life. It’s not their fault the communication broke down. But what really disgusts me is that they abruptly ended the game.
@@terracottapie It’s frustrating because there was no point in that. If they were going to continue the game to make things right, they should’ve given the Brown’s the ball on the 10 yard line, second down.
@@benross6028 I don't think they ever cared about "making things right". The point of restarting the game, that they would never tell anyone publicly, was to appease Vegas bookies. Literally tens of millions of dollars are riding on every NFL game, and to end a game before the clock runs out, would invalidate all those bets which would now be pushes. Paul Tagliabue probably got a call from some very important casino people in those 15 minutes, that the Jaguars better take two knees, or some shit is gonna go down.
The even worse part is it happened when America was still reeling from the Sept. 11 terrorist incidents three months earlier. So much for Sept. 11 perspective.
It wasn't a problem with the refs. The ref got a buzzer to review a play after the next play. At that point the call on the field should stand, which was complete. Cleveland ball.
In 1975 in Dallas/Minnesota playoff game, after what Dallas calls the immaculate reception which was really offensive pass interference, the ref who didn't make the intereference call was deluged by liquor bottles thrown from the stands. One hit him on the head, knocked him out, and he was in coma for 3 days.
11:47 "So, the game stopped with 48 seconds left, on a call I'm sure will be talked about in Cleveland for the next six months." Months? No, decades. Decades, and rightfully so, because this may well be THE poster child for refball. I'm not even a Browns fan, but this bollocks brought forth righteous wrath within me , even all these years later.
@J.R. Caldoon Don’t you think that it’s sad that you’re outraged over something that you can’t change? What about important issues like war and important issues that can be changed? The outcome was that Jacksonville won the football game and nothing can change that.
@@PlayStation_5247 I sure hope that we’re not still complaining about this game thousands of years from now. It’s been twenty years since bottlegate happened and people are still outraged.
