How is it not pass interference?

I hate NFL referees. NBA officials with money on the spread call better games than NFL refs.

On a crucial 4th and 10, Hood trips up Kevin Curtis as he tries to make the reception and the result was an incomplete pass, turnover on downs. Now, despite Troy Aikman's lawyering for a flag but barely justifying the refs view, the Eagles were cheated out of a chance to tie the ballgame.

Even though Curtis still had a chance at the ball, despite the contact, the flag was not thrown. What?

Excuse me? How does that register as a reason for not throwing the flag.

Breaking it down: Hood interfered with a receiver trying to play the ball. Hood was playing the receiver. Curtis as the receiver still attempts to catch the pass, but cannot haul it in because of the contact. The refs feel that this contact which prevented Curtis from catching a catch able ball is not worthy of a penalty which would give Philadelphia a first down.

See where I grew up and was taught about football, Ohio, when a defensive back comes into contact with a receiver on a catch able ball and the receiver cannot make the catch... it's PASS INTERFERENCE! This isn't rocket science! This is football! Philly was cheated.

I also wanted this put on record, I am not a bitter Eagles fan. In fact most Philly fans bother me. They threw batteries at Dick Allen (despite how he was their best player for most years). They hate Donovan McNabb (despite how far he has taken the team). They cheered when Michael Irvin got injured... wait, I actually thought that was a little bit funny.

When is baseball season starting?
