After yesterdays horriable US vs Slovenia ref and the goal that was dissallowed and the missed perfect game by Jim Joyce it got me wondering what are some of the worst calls in sports. Here are a few from me:
US Soccer vs Slovenia dissallowed goal
Jim Joyce takes away a perfect game
The no call on Jordans Push off
Colorado 5th down
Brett Hulsl goal in the stanley cup
maradona hand of god goal / henry goal to qualify for the world cup this year
the snowjob
the thanksgiving coin toss

About every foul called on the Celtics in this year's NBA finals has to top the list.

The Refs going back and over turning a play after a play had been ran in a game with playoff implications when the Browns played the Jaguars. Now known as "Bottlegate".

The Thanksgiving Day coin toss. All others mentioned were calls made in the heat of the moment. Hearing whether Bettis calls heads or tails isn't a judgment call.

The interference calls FOR the COlts vs Patiots and the non-interferece calls when the Pats had the ball in the final 2 possessions of the AFC champ game the first year Indy won it all
Dekkinger's really helped decide that series
Joyce's call

1972 Olympics...
Russia/ Soviet Union vs. USA
We got hosed big time with the controversial ending and refused to accept the silver medal...
sad day for basketball

Ben Worthlessbooger reaching into the endzone from about three yards out and refs calling it a TD. (Super Bowl XL)

Smilin Jack Childress and his ACC crew
2003 Swindle in the Swamp , F$U at Florida
This game is the reason college football has instant replay for refs.

1. sq_crazies ugly collapse of the Celtics call.
2. sleeper's annual prediction of a Lebron Championship.
3. sleeper's call on Bill Russell and Magic Johnson not being All-Time Great players.

dat dude, I was 4th row 40 yard line right behind the Arkansas bench. One of the worst calls I've ever seen in favor of Florida. Gators were driving anyway and it was already first down inside the 20, so it didn't decide the game.
But the F$U was the whole game. Herbie was there and talked about it all week after.

I didn't watch the game, so i certainly wasn't implying that the call decided the game.
In reference to the title of the thread, it was just a horrific call.

agree, they later gave Tebow a +1 yard spot on a 3rd down, but those calls don't compare to the swindle or 72 Olympics, '88 Roy Jones Jr., or
Mich. St. vs. tOSU when Woody snapped the yard sticks.

I give another nod to the 1972 US-USSR basketball game. Also, the Rich Karlis FG that was called good, ending the game now known as "The Drive".

Gotta be 5th down. Some others were bad judgment calls (some horrible), but to allow a 5th down? Doesn't even take bad judgment, it takes extreme stupidity.
