The Super Bowl is coming up next Sunday, and for Tom Brady,
this is his ninth one, which is amazing.
You realize, one more Super Bowl,
and he gets a free sandwich.
But despite all the excitement for the big game,
many football fans are still talking about the the team
not playing in Atlanta, and for more on that,
we turn to our very own Roy Wood, Jr.,
-everybody! -Mm-hmm.
-(cheers and applause) -Yeah.
Shut up. Silence! Silence! No! No!
Let's get right to it.
Let's get right to it, Trevor.
The wrong team is playing in the Super Bowl.
-(audience mumbling) -Last Sunday's game...
Last Sunday's game had the worst call I've ever seen
since I decided to go commando under a graduation robe.
(laughter)
There was no way to know that the lights
on that stage would be so intense.
It showed the outline and everything.
I'm sorry about that.
Anyway, Saints fans are pissed,
and they have every right to be.
You don't have to be a Saints fan to be upset by this.
You don't have to be a football fan, even a sports fan,
but just a fan of basic fairness.
NEWSMAN: It's being referred to
as one of the worst missed calls in playoff history.
The New Orleans Saints missed a place in the Super Bowl
after referees didn't throw the flag on this play.
Many call it a glaring case of pass interference.
The player made an illegal tackle
right in front of the ref,
and that ref didn't take out the penalty flag.
He didn't take it out of his pocket.
Trevor, I'm pretty sure this referee
is the first dude to get in trouble
for not pulling something out of his pants.
(laughter)
Penis. I'm talking about pen...
Look, I'm gonna just come out and say it, plain and simple.
This is the worst thing to ever happen
to the people of New Orleans.
Nothing else comes close.
-Uh, Roy... -Nothing!
Roy, I think you're forgetting about Hurricane Katrina.
Oh, yeah, that... My bad.
This is tied with Hurricane Katrina
-(laughter, applause) -as the worst thing...
to happen to New Orleans.
But unlike a hurricane,
Saints fans can take this disaster to court.
NEWSWOMAN: The Saints lose the game.
The fans lose their minds-- buying billboards in Atlanta,
where the Super Bowl will be played without them.
Robbed, they say.
A petition with over half a million signatures
calls for a rematch.
So does a lawsuit filed today
on behalf of season ticket holders,
alleging "emotional trauma,"
and nothing less than the "loss of enjoyment of life."
(laughter)
"Loss of enjoyment of life."
You know how upsetting something has to be
to make people from New Orleans
stop enjoying life?
They got Bourbon Street. They got Mardi Gras.
Even the funerals look like a halftime show.
"Oh, you heard Granddaddy died?"
"Yeah." "Well, let's have a parade!"
(imitates trombone)
Yo, yo, Roy, I'm sorry, man.
Refs mess up calls all the time.
It's part of sport. It's not a big deal.
It's not a big deal?
It's such a big deal, this happened.
NEWSMAN: Meanwhile, one sports book in New Jersey
is refunding all wagers on the Saints, tweeting:
(laughter)
Bookies.
Bookies. The people who break your knees when you don't pay
are giving refunds.
Refunds. They're... probably going around door to door.
"Hey, uh, sorry about the Saints, man.
"That's a tough break. Here's your thumbs back.
-My apologies." -Yeah, okay, but...
okay, what do you want the NFL to do about it?
They can't just replay the whole game.
You don't have to replay the game.
This is a easy fix, man.
The problem is that the NFL doesn't allow refs
to review this type of play. Which is stupid.
'Cause any other questionable call,
they go and huddle around that little TV
like they're watching a peep show.
So the NFL should just allow instant replay
for pass interference, too.
That's all you got to do.
-It's simple. -(whooping, applause, shouting)
You know what? That's a great idea, Roy.
-Mm-hmm. -I agree with you.
In fact, we should just use instant replay
for everything in life.
We've already got cameras everywhere--
traffic cameras, body cameras.
Did you know that iPhones are built
with the camera already inside of them?
Yeah. I think everyone knows that, Roy.
Well, they must have just started doing it.
Look, the point is, anytime there's a disagreement
about anything, anything in life,
we should be able to throw out a flag
and check out the instant replay.
Two people fighting over a parking spot?
(imitates whistle blowing) Go to the replay.
The pickup truck got there after the Prius,
therefore the vegan gets the parking space.
-(laughter) -Just throw the flag.
Oh, oh, you want to split the check 50/50 at dinner?
-(imitates whistle blowing) -Go to the replay, Debra.
The tape shows that you had more drinks
and ate my cheese sticks when I was in the bathroom.
I'm only paying ten dollars!
But... but, Debra, if you're watching this,
I do hope we get a chance to go out again.
I really did feel a connection.
You know what, you really convinced me.
That's also a really great idea.
I know. I have great ideas, Trevor.
That's why you said you'd give me a 20% raise.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you talking about?
I never said that.
Oh, is that what you think, Trevor?
(imitates whistle blowing)
(whistle blows)
Roy Wood Jr. has challenged the ruling at the desk.
Let's go to the replay to see what Trevor said to Roy
about giving him a 20% raise.
You know what? That's a great idea, Roy.
-Mm-hmm. -I agree with you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no, wait. No.
-(applause, whooping, cheering) -No, no, no. No, no.
You took me out of context. You took me out of context. No.
The challenge is upheld.
Roy gets a 20% raise,
and so does the referee.
-See? We can't lose. -(cheering, applause)
Get out of here. Roy Wood Jr., Michael Kosta, everybody.
