Louisiana eyecare clinic offers free exams to NFL refs

An eye doctor from Louisiana, who is obviously a New Orleans Saints fan, is offering his services for free to NFL refs following Sunday’s debacle against the Los Angeles Rams.

In case you missed it, the refs officiating the NFC Championship Game absolutely shafted the Saints with a no-call on a blatant hit late in the fourth quarter (watch here). The hit should have garnered both pass interference and helmet-to-helmet penalties, but not a single flag was thrown.

Had the correct call been made, the Saints would have been able to run the clock down almost all the way and kicked a game-winning field goal. Obviously that didn’t happen. They had to kick with almost two minutes left on the clock, the Rams tied it up and then won in overtime.

After the brutal loss, Louisiana Family Eyecare offered its services for free to NFL refs before next season “to prevent the atrocity that occurred” in the NFC title game.

it would have been a tough judgment call for anyone in real time.

There is simply no excuse for the missed pass interference call in the Saints/Rams game though.
