Re: LETS BE HONEST!!!!
I have once with 07, because I was mashing on the fair-catch button on two successive punt returns and it never called the fair catch, so I was tackled which caused a fumble which was returned for a touchdown both times. It wouldn't have changed the outcome (I was up like 66-10) but it pissed me off. I don't mind losing at all, but I can't stand it when the game screws up. (And yes, the returner was selected, and yes, I know how to call a fair catch, etc. etc.)
The only other time I was tempted was when my QB ran a ball into the endzone, was hit AFTER the ball crossed the goal line, fumbed it, and the fumble was returned for a touchdown. Challenged, the play stands. Looking at the instant replay, it was OBVIOUS. I'm glad I didn't quit though, that game had one of the more exciting endings I've ever played. That fumble return gave them a 1 point lead with 2:25 to play. The very next offensive play, they intercepted it and returned it for another TD, so they were up 8. I drove the field and managed to score a touchdown, but failed on the 2 point conversion, so I did an onside kick and, for the first time ever, recovered it. Then I got into extreme field goal range (no timeouts left) and kicked the game winning field goal as time expired.
