maybe I am naïve but in all my years of officiating, I have never made a make-up call nor have have I known as single other official who have done it.

You make a bad call and you move on and do your best not to have it happen again.
I see what look like make-up calls fairly frequently, several times per season at various levels.

Perhaps they're not.

But perhaps they are.

The Cardinals were stolen from Chicago (actually, Halas ran them out of town) when they played in Comiskey Park.

They were in St. Louis, and now Arizona.

Yeah it's not really "stealing" if they leave willingly because nobody gives a crap about them and they're not making any money.  They were failing at trying to compete with the Bears, and so moved to a place they thought they could become profitable.

I'm really just making fun of the entire notion of "stealing" a team from one geography to another.  Those owners don't give a rat's ass about the fans or people within any specific geography, they only care about the money.  This includes fans paying for tickets and merchandise, cities paying for stadiums, and all the rest.

What was the back story behind the Oilers moving to Tennessee?

Houston didn't agree to build owner Bud Adams a new stadium on their own dime.

isn't that the backstory on every franchise moving? One city tells the rich owner- pay for your own shiny new stadium you rich prick, you're rich as f**k. Rich owner cries and moans- then finds another city that is stupid and desperate enough for an NFL franchise, and that new city says...psssst rich guy owner - we'll give you all sorts of tax breaks and build your shiny new stadium for you if you move here.

Yup, it's a pretty common tale.

MB stadium here was partially funded by the Falcons, and some of the rest from a hotel tax.  I don't know how much the city put in, maybe nothing.

Joe Burrow was sacked 19 times this post-season. That's got to be a record.

have yet to watch this, looks great. ESPN just did a 30 for 30 with Tom Brady and Charles Woodson on the infamous Tuck Rule game. That call helped launch a dynasty and one of the most legendary playing careers in all of sports. Crazy that Woodson and Brady both came into Michigan as part of the same recruiting class. Both went on to have legendary pro careers and 1st ballot HOF'ers.

David Carr has been sacked the most by a quarterback in a season, with 76 sacks in his rookie season in 2002.

I'm talking strictly post-season. I think Carr has most in a single season- but Texans were so bad they never made the post-season. That's a hell of a beating though- 76 sacks in 16 games. Holy shit. 

Burrow had 71 this year including post-season. Which I believe is like 3rd most sacks taken all-time in terms of a single reg season + post-season.
