With 5 minutes left in the first quarter on September 7th, 2008 with the world watching the prime time game between the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts, the Colts kick returner, Courtney Roby, fumbles the ball.
Even after reviewing this play, the refs seem to get it wrong. How is he down by contact?? Tony Dungy must have believed that it was a fumble. He cut Roby on September 11th.

The Redskins were being shut out by the Giants on September 4th, 2008 with 1 minute and 10 seconds remaing in the first half. Redskins running back, Clinton Portis, runs off right tackle for two yards. The referees throw a flag.
They unjustly penalize Fred Robbins of the New York Giants for grasping the face mask of Clinton Portis. This penalty allowed the drive to continue which ultimately resulted in the only touchdown scored by the Washington Redskins during the game.
Note: (The video has a fan shouting “bullshit” over and over again)..
