NFL…

 UNDATED (AP) – The NFL has weighed in on the call that allowed
the Seattle Seahawks to beat the Green Bay Packers 14-12 on Monday
night. 

     The league says the replacement officials made the correct call
not to overturn Seahawks receiver Golden Tate’s 24-yard scoring
reception.

However, the NFL also said Tate should have been called
for offensive pass interference before the catch but pointed out
that penalties can’t be reviewed by instant replay.

A flag would have clinched the game for the Packers.

 President Obama and Republican candidate Mitt
Romney weighed in on the questionable call at the end of the
Seahawks’ win over the Packers.

Obama deemed it “terrible” and declared it was time to get regular officiating crews back on the job.

Romney and GOP running mate Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin native,
also said it was time to bring back the “real refs.”

Gambling expert RJ Bell of Las Vegas-based Pregame.com says he thinks two-thirds of bets worldwide were on the Packers, and that sports books took in at least $150 million because of the call.
     The rainbow amid the dark clouds is that the league resumed
negotiations with locked-out officials today.

 

NHL-LABOR

     TORONTO (AP) – The NHL and its locked-out players are to return

today during rallies at two universities in pivotal Ohio.

today, as part of a bus tour geared toward drawing a contrast with

     WASHINGTON (AP) – An Associated Press-GfK poll finds few

with changes.
