The Worst No-Call In NFL History

The New Orleans Saints deserve without a doubt a spot in Super Bowl LIII.

Am I bias because I am a dedicated Who Dat fan, probably so, but I think even a non Who Dat would agree that they were robbed of victory!

The New Orleans Saints were denied a spot in Super Bowl LIII after losing to the Los Angeles Rams due to the referees not making the right call about a pass-interference play. The play was between Drew Brees who threw a pass directing it to Tommylee Lewis. The Rams player Nickell Roby Coleman tackled Lewis before the play was even carried out. A flag should have been called but the referees did not call the play. The game itself had been a frustrating back and forth points lead game all throughout, then it went so far as going into overtime.

Saints fans are so furious, that even local New Orleans attorney Frank D'Amico Jr. filed a lawsuit against the NFL and Roger Goodell who is the Commissioner of the National Football League.

The New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton was informed that even the officials of the NFL have admitted to them costing the Saints the game by not calling the pass-interference call that was also a helmet to helmet hit as well.

Thousands of fans are wanting a redo of the NFC Championship that then will determine the rightful team's spot in the Super Bowl.

From hype songs to local and online support and dedication to the Saints, fans from all over were getting ready for the Saints to have a shot at winning another Super Bowl since our win in 2009.

Even dedicated Rams fans themselves agreed that this was one of the worst no-calls ever seen in NFL history!

Losing because you didn't play up to snuff is one thing, but to lose because of the blatant wrongdoing of an official, a call they admit to having missed, just feels like a robbery. Hoping the Saints get a chance to earn their spot; but regardless, always a Saints fan.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
