Just goes to show how dumb the average sportsman is. Aren't these people supposed to have attended college? I've not read a single 'tweet' without at least one spelling and/or grammar error. What the fuck.

I wouldn't know, I don't use twitter. I also do not own a smart-phone so I would not know how easy or difficult it is to perform various 'updates' on there. But in hindsight, my remark was a bit preposterous: it aren't just sportsmen who are imbeciles of course, but rather a large portion of the general populace.
Any way, for me English is not my mother tongue and I have no knowledge of a lot of slang language. I found some of those tweets generally difficult to understand.

Yeah sure it's twitter and I suppose that can always be used as a cover. But, I'm also generally surprised by the blatant insults and use of harsh language on twitter. Famous sports people get called out for that frequently here.

the best part was that the officiating wasn't too bad for most of the game. there were some bad calls, but at least they were somewhat sensable/they made up for them correctly.
then of course, there was that whole last drive by the packers and shit hit the fan

Looking back they really just missed the pass interference and it's a wonder that offensive interference is EVER called in the NFL anymore. Superstar recievers can get away with essentially anything (i know golden tate isnt a "superstar"). Really not as bad a call as everyone's making it out to be, just because America's sweetheart fudgepackers lost & state farm can't make another commercial with Aaron Rodgers because he lost 2 games.
Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 5 of the NFL rulebook discusses a simultaneous catch.
"If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control," the rule states.
That strongly indicates Jennings should have been awarded an interception. Tate never seemed to truly gain joint control. A little known part of the rule explains why it wasn't overturned.
The rulebook also states when a simultaneous catch is ruled, you can't review who made the catch. You can only review if it was complete or incomplete.
