This week’s edition of #AskASideLion was ………interesting. After “swat-gate” or “bat-gate”, whichever term you prefer, I received a large number of questions regarding the officiating or lack thereof. Yes, the refs screwed up. Yes, Caldwell should have at least showed some sort of emotion when the play happened. But believe it or not, there is nothing that can be done. An off-season rule change WILL happen as a result of the play, as it always does when pertaining to the Lions getting the short end of the stick with officiating.
The doom and gloom of the entire scenario was easy to get sucked into.
