European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - January 16, 1995, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Monday january 16,. 1995 sports the stars and stripes Page 27risking instant injustice in the nil in trying to justify the absence of instant replay commissioner Paul Tagliabue has insisted that its required delays disrupted a the flow Quot of the game. And when Jerry Seeman the National football leagues director of officiating was asked about the two incorrect Calls that instant replay would have reversed in last sunday s chargers dolphins playoff game he parroted the commissioners words. A the Pace of that game the now a Seeman said a to Stop the game to Check instant replay it would be detracted from the  the flow when is the flow of a playoff game or any nil game More important than trying to assure the Correct Call Dave Anderson my when is the flow More important than the proper result in sunday s 49cr-Cowboy and steel or charge r con be re acc championship games Tagliabue and his Zebra keeper sound like television producers trying to maintain a Story line while risking the injustice of tolerating a bad Call that instant replay could Correct. A a a a. But with network television contracts Worth  billion annually the nil is pretending that All those delays for All those to commercials Don t already disrupt the flow of every game. Commentary in the chargers 22-21 Victory running Back natron Means clearly stepped out of Bounds 2 Yards from the goal line but was ruled to have scored. Wide receiver Shawn Jefferson a 37-Yard touchdown reception was disallowed even though a replay showed him with two feet Down in the end Zore. Its easy to say that the chargers would have scored from the 1-Yard line anyway had Means been ruled out of Bounds. But who knows maybe the chargers would have fumbled and the dolphins would have recovered. Others mention that after Jefferson s touchdown was disallowed the chargers scored anyway. But had jct Ferson s touchdown counted Dan Marino would have had More time to move the dolphins to a Shorter Field goal attempt than the 48-yarder that Pete Stoyanovich missed As time expired / it s not As if those two incorrect Calls sunday were suddenly the exception. According to the nil auditors in the current league playoffs that still has three games to go before sunday seven Calls would have been reversed had instant replay still been in use. The worst team in the nil during the recent regular season was not the oilers 2-14. The worst team was the zebras those seven Man Crews in the Black and White striped shirts making glaring mistakes. Without instant replay those mistakes  be corrected. A a a. A a a a a a a a a a athe seven mistakes in the current playoffs already Are As Many As there were in the entire playoffs two years ago compared to four in last years playoffs. Considering that a split second is All a Zebra Nas to make a Call mistakes Are inevitable. But ignoring the technology to rectify those mistakes is insensitive. After six years of instant replay ended in 1991, this was the third year without it. During the recent season according to the nil 52 Calls would have been reversed had instant replay been in use 52 would have been reversed during the 1993 season and 46 in 1992. Over the six year Span when instant replay was used there were 376 replay reversals including 38 erroneous replay reversals. And yes sometimes it took Longe than it should to reverse or reaffirm a Call. But despite the interruption of a the flow by the delay in the Booth some of those 338 Correct reversals surely turned a game toward its proper result and maybe turned a teams season. Instant replays critics argue that a human in the in Stant replay Booth increases the Chance of human error. But that human in the Booth also represents the Only Chance to Correct human error. Instead of risking the injustice of an incorrect Call its time for the nil to bring Back instant replay. To Avert too Many delays in the Booth allow a coach Only three instant replay challenges during a regular season game. But in the super bowl playoffs there would be no limit. It s time to restore a the flow of the Correct Call. A the new Yorac times Buffalo s latest Miracle pushes West Over East by Dennis Georgatos Stanford Calif.
