His "analysis" is typical player BS. 10 out of 10 times the player always thinks he's right. 9 out of 10 they're not and replays prove the ref correct. But this is nothing new. Something to think about replays in general: a ref is trained to call on the fly, that's part of the game. All replays should be viewed with that dynamic in mind. In that light, Kyle's perspective just doesn't fly. It was dangerous play, period. While I’ll grant that Marrufo is a bit of a wild card as a ref, sometimes, this time Kyle deserved what he got.
