Scott Green and his corrupt history in the NFL:
1.) 1-05-03: Giants - 49ers playoff game. He was involved in a controversial finish where he flagged the Giants for a phantom illegal man downfield. Commissioner Paul Tagliabue described the situation as the most disappointing officiating blunder he'd seen in his years as NFL commissioner. For his "blunder" Green was "rewarded" the officiating job in the next super bowl (2004).
2.) 11-16-08: Pitt.- SD. This is the famous 11-10 game. The only game in NFL history to finish with this improbable score! When Troy Polamalu ran back an intercepted lateral for a touchdown with no time left, giving Pitt a game winning victory margin of 8pts. and the cover, Green's imagination once again went to work. He huddled all the officials together and to everyone's astonishment who isn't blind and could actually view the replay, he declared that the ball had touched the ground on "one" of the laterals and thus the play was dead. Ofcourse he couldn't actually explain where or when this actually happened on the field. Why? Becuause it never happened! Green himself conceded after the game that "his crew" made the wrong call. Ofcourse the NFL agreed, how could you not, but in any case they were not going to reverse the wrong in order to make it right.
This was the late game that sunday and a Pitt cover would have cost Vegas millions by some estimates when Vegas was really hurting in 2008. I watched this game and from start to finish it appeared to be corrrupted by the officials in favor of a SD cover. The imbalance in penalties called by Green and his crew (13 for 115yds. on Pitt; vs. 1 penalty for 5yds. on the Chargers) was so blatantly shewed as to only be described as a pattern of fixing that in my mind got completly validated by the outrageuously bogus game ending reversal of fortune by Green and his "imagination". If I recall there were atleast 2 maybe 3 Pitt. touchdowns called back during this one-sided penalty fest. There were alot of "imaginary" holding calls against Pitt when a touchdown needed to be called back if I remember correctly.
For his "blunder", Green was once again "rewarded" the head ref. job in the next super bowl in 2009.
Full disclosure: As I watched this game in 2008 I had a 8 team parlay riding on a Pitt cover.
1-10-10: Another Green controversial finish. Imagine that! Overtime game between GB and AZ. He conveniently missed a face mask penalty giving AZ a touchdown on the play.
10-24-10: GB - Minn. Coach Childress called this the worst officiated game he's ever seen. Green reversed a 17yd. touchdown by Minny on a diving catch among other bad calls.
So what is Green's day job you wonder? He's a lobbist in Washington. Hmmm. I wonder if he's for sale? What do you think?
