    Tuck rule without a doubt.

    Hand of God also up there, maybe even above the Tuck.

    OU/Oregon

    Pac 10 Refs blatantly screwed OU on a late onside kick that Oregon recovered.

    The play went to review and the review official ipheld the terrible call on the field. It was 100% obvious it was incorrect.

    I believe one of not two officials either retired or were fired as a result

    The OU player walks away with the ball and after review they still give it to Oregon

    There was some crazy ass call that went against Pippen. Want to say it was deep playoffs, but I might be way off.

    It was a big deal when it happened.

    how anyone considers the tuck rule the most controversial ever is beyond me....it did not completely directly effect the outcome of the game.....the call itself wasnt a good one...i can admit...it lead to the patriots scoring a td which lead them to trail 13-10....the raiders then had the ball......with a little less than 3 minutes left( i can fully admit it may have taken wind out of their sails/ changed momentum).....the raiders picked up 7 yards on first down...then had a 2nd and 3....then a 3rd and 1......then failed to convert.....then lechler(a great punter) got off a bad kick even though it was in bad conditions....pats got the ball.....drove to kick a fg to tie in regulation(they kicked fg cause they had no choice)........pats got ball first in ot.....moved ball down the field....in ot ...had ball at raiders 30....had a 4th and 4....rather than attempt fg....they went for it.....and converted.....picked up a first down on a pass by brady.....then ran ball into fg range........again....the game didnt end on the bad call.....raiders had chances

    too many idiots look at the actual bad call.....and forget the pats were still trailing and made plays after it to win the game

    I still vividly remember Don Denkingers blown call in the '85 world series between St.Louis and Kansas City!...Arguably, one of the worst calls in the history of baseball!..(PS...the only saving grace was that legendary all-star George Brett won a World Series ring)

    i actually meant to say.....the call came after the game was 13-10.....not before it.....same difference....raiders had a chance to salt game away and didnt......

    1972 was a good example how bad calls were pushed to politics later. the decision of the board had nothing to do with sports.
