Arrr, matey! The NFL's pass interference be stirrin' a right ruckus, like a scallywag in a tavern! Aye, even a Super Bowl conqueror be callin' for the league to hand out penalty yards, just like them landlubber colleges! Let the flag fly, or face the wrath of Davy Jones!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather ye ‘round as I regale ye with tales of NFL referees and their pass interference calls, which be as fickle as a siren's song! Aye, the league be lackin' clarity in what makes a foul, leavin' the refs to make their judgment like a captain pickin’ a course through stormy seas.Jon Gruden, a clever sea dog who once sailed the Buccaneers to victory, be speakin' his mind on this rule. He argues that when a ref blows their whistle for pass interference, it can lead to treasure troves of yardage, with teams gaining up to 25 yards as if they found a chest of doubloons! Gruden suggests a fairer method, likin’ it to the college rules, where the penalty be but a mere 15 yards. “Let it be obvious,” he says, “like a parrot squawkin’ on yer shoulder!”
In 2019, the league decided to let the scallywags review these calls, but alas! That treasure was lost, as the rule was tossed back into Davy Jones' locker in 2020. So, next time ye watch the game, keep yer eye on those referees, for their calls be as unpredictable as a pirate's fortune! Arrr!
