It all comes down to the explanation after the review. They said the play stands! That means that there was no visual evidence to overturn the call on the field of a fumble because they didn't have a clear angle showing when the ball came out. I think everyone can see that before there was contact you couldn't see the ball and his knee was down. It was only after the contact that you could see the ball and his knee was down prior to contact. Just poor use of the review process. NFL officiating gets worse every year which just substantiates the need for full-time officials. I know the season is 6 months long and basically a weekend job but regardless they still do a bad job of making the right calls and something needs to change.
Hate to hear this, he was way too young. It does really make me feel old though as I keep seeing that goal tend over and over in my mind. RIP Charles "Atlas" Hurt.
Sampson has made it known to the Reds that he would like to be a starter, so they are giving him the opportunity to show that he can be. Sounds to me like he doesn't want to be in the bullpen long term and if he can't start here he would like to be traded.
