I agree with the stands. It was close but the initial ruling dictated. Good for Riveron/Yurk to stay with the standard that it not obvious that the call was wrong. Slight movement of the ball and slight bobble but slight is not enough to overturn.

Philadelphia police have reportedly upgraded from Crisco to thwart pole climbers (2:16 p.m.)

Out with the Crisco, in with the hydraulic fluid.
According to ESPN, after Crisco failed to prevent reveling Eagles fans from climbing on poles after the NFC Championship Game, Philadelphia police called an audible — and are using “hydraulic fluid” on Broad Street poles before the Super Bowl. From ESPN:
The crew tasked with applying a slippery substance to poles had labeled themselves the “Crisco Cops” for the NFC Championship. This time the crew that was working up and down Broad Street, where much of the postgame action is expected to unfold, some six hours before kickoff, went with “Pole Patrol.”
Read the full story over on ESPN.com
