Obama watched the Lions game and told The Detroit News in a Tuesday interview he couldn’t “remember a circumstance in which a good call by one of the refs is argued about by an opposing player of the other team with his helmet off on the field, which in and of itself is supposed to be a penalty. The call is announced and then reversed without explanation. I haven’t seen that before — so I will leave it up to the experts to make the judgment as to why that happen — but I can tell you if I was a Lions fan I’d be pretty aggravated.”

“I’m a Bears fan, you beat us twice. But even a Bears fan has to admit that that was a little suspect. I had never seen anything like that before. I would’ve been pretty irritated.”
“All I can say, cause I’m used to saying this, I’m a Bears fan, there’s always next year. And look, you’ve got a lot to be hopeful for. First of all, you’ve got one of the best defenses in the league. Fine young quarterback, Megatron and, if there’s one thing that you can take to the bank when talking about Detroit, is that Detroit always comes back.”

I couldn’t help but feel the same way after watching the Broncos game… Peyton strikes with an opening touchdown, then the referees let everyone start holding… I guess you got your four favorites, huh Roger?
