And I think Aaron dots the i on this.  Whether the call was reviewable
or not, the play was reviewed and they couldn't find evidence to
overturn the play.  There wasn't clear evidence which player had sole
control over the ball, so the replay official couldn't overturn the
play.  And if the call isn't reviewable, the bad call on the field
stands.  Almost a Catch 22.

I wonder if the Indiana coach might have set some sort of record on
gum throwing?  It was a might heave.  Hope no one was injured.

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
