One of my close friends is a 'Boys fan. He and I have had honest discussions throughout the year. We both want our teams to win, but we want them to win fair. We both agree that it's better to win, even if it's tainted.

And we both agree this 'Boys victory is HEAVILY TAINTED.

It's going to take a while for me to swallow this bitter pill. I have nothing against the Cowboys or the City of Dallas but these refs are just plain criminal IMO.

I also find it interesting how this situation brings out the Detroit haters. (Not necessarily referring to you, trumad.)
