I won’t link his trash but short summary:

Some guy bet $8k on the Saints to win SB at 20/1 (+$160k) at some point earlier this season.

A website propswap.com allows bettors to sell their tickets and cash in on its potential value.

Original bettor sold his (now worthless) betting slip to Clay and his friend Sal for $57k (split).

Clay Travis‏Verified account @ClayTravis
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has the power to change the outcome of Rams-Saints in case of egregious error. Maybe this is why league still hasn’t issued official statement on blown call. I feel like a lawsuit might have legs too. Could get interesting

I'd suggest that this is Clay going full retard, but that ship sailed so long ago that there's no point to such a suggestion.

If this is true, hearing about it is the best thing that's happened to me today. Although, I'm highly disappointed that he had $28.5K to waste.

Apparently now they're going to "discuss" reviewing PI calls. More stoppages for a product that's unwatchable 99% of the time because of constant stoppages.

Yeah, replay reviews are why the games take 3 and a half hours (as opposed to 2 hours of commercials).

If the only change is adding PI to the list of things that can be challenged it'll have minimal impact on the length of games.

easy fix... ref has 60 seconds to make a choice, video gets cut off and he’s forced to make a call... if he can’t make a call in less than 60 seconds then its no indisputable proof.. therefor the call should stand... College should be exactly the same way

I don't watch enough NFL, is the sideline guy making the call? Or is it still that central office guy watching the film?

I've never understood why the obvious ones take so long in college. A huge percentage of the replay reviews are 100% conclusive after 1-3 clips that take 10-20 seconds to watch. Pause long enough to let the guy upstairs watch it and say, oh clearly that's not disputable. Just hold the clock and freeze the snap like they do when a defense needs to substitute. Don't stop time, go all the way to the sideline and then tell us what happened. Just treat it like a ref conference.
