    Replay Review needs to Change !!!

    All sports. The delay this causes, and they often still make the wrong decision!

    Many coaches misuse it, challenging really close inconclusive plays.

    Solution = the leagues already have the home office watching the games, so what they can do is chime-in when a really obvious bad call is made, and correct it. As many times as needed. We all can see when a terrible call is made. For the borderline calls, let it stand. Not for balls and strikes, either.

    Let's see the games flow and just reverse the obvious bad calls.

    I'd prefer a game without replay, slows the game down too much.

    But since that won't happen, let's use it for its actual purpose, to correct obvious errors. Look at 1 slow mo replay, maybe 2 if it's not obvious you made the wrong call it stays. Put a shot clock on it.

    We should not be using NASA level cameras to slow down a play to a super slow mo to see if a ball rotated a quarter of a centimeter from the 14th angle.

    Delays do suck for fans and players.. Throws off everything when there is a long stoppage and especially in hoops... Can change the way the game was going... NFL is bad with the delays and instant replays also.. Nothing instant about it...

    Good time to take a leak or get a snack from the fridge though ..

    Totally agree, They've over fuk'in technology'd the game. Sadly, it's not gonna go away and will continue to slow the game. Computerized laser ball tracking, the stuff you see when they replay and pitcher's throw locations, will probably eventually replace the need for a home plate umpire. All the camera angles we have now, there is no human umpire judgement calls anymore. Kinda sad really.

    the intent of Replay Review was to avoid costing a team a possible win because of a very bad call.

    All sports have over-complicated it. Just have oversight from the home office, halt play on an obvious wrong call, and overturn it. There are examples of costly wrong calls we can all remember.

    Don't need the coaches challenges, IF there is integrity by the league.

    The reality of the situation is that no matter what happens people are still going to complain. I find it funny that the same people that are upset about replay now are the same people that wanted replay. The fact of the matter is you can't have it both ways and we are learning that even with replay the calls aren't always going to be right. So instead of just accepting the human error element, like we did for 100 years, we not only still have errors but it takes an extra 5 minutes per challenge. Only now it just pisses people off even more when refs fuk up a call they had 9 different refs look at for 10 minutes. People are always trying to fix shit that isn't broken and here we are still not satisfied.

    I like the coaches challenge on off-side in the NHL....The goalie situation now is up to people in Toronto, no longer the refs.....Only 2 challenges a coach can make. The goalie must be protected and players live on the edge around the crease.. Not bad and i want them to get the call right......I would rather watch paint dry than BB so that's out...FB takes way to long...

    I would like them to get rid of the off sides challenge. Make it not challengeable. They are splitting hairs with these calls. Most goals do not happen because a guy was a quarter inch off sides. Then they have to rewind the clock. They can challenge this but they can’t challenge delay of game penalties when a defenseman hits the puck off the glass and it goes out of play? Ridiculous!

    I like goal reviews though.

    Without replay review, big-market teams always get the favor over small-market teams. Replay review is must.
