There’s a new suit on the docket at the Civil District Court for Orleans Parish and it’s directly related to the Saints’ controversial loss in the NFC Championship Game last weekend.

Frank J. D’Amico, Jr. says he has been approached by several season ticket holders to take official legal action against National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell after the Saints were victimized by a missed penalty call in the game on Sunday, according to WWL.

D’Amico, Jr. released a statement in which he will seek to force Goodell to enact Rule 17 of the NFL’s rule book, a statute which allows the Commissioner to reverse the result of a contest if an “unfair act” played a part in the final score of the original game.

“There’s language in the rule book that could, in the right circumstances, allow the Commissioner to take extreme action in the face of a grossly unfair result,” the statement read.

The rule in question was brought to public attention by Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas, who cited the rule verbatim in a message to Goodell on social media.

“The Commissioner’s powers under this Section 2 include the imposition of monetary fines and draft choice forfeitures, suspension of persons involved in unfair acts, and, if appropriate, the reversal of a game’s result or the rescheduling of a game, either from the beginning or from the point at which the extraordinary act occurred,” according to Rule 17, Section 2, Article 3.

“In all cases, the Commissioner will conduct a full investigation, including the opportunity for hearings, use of game video, and any other procedure the Commissioner deems appropriate.”

However, Article 2 states, “The Commissioner will not apply authority in cases of complaints by clubs concerning judgmental errors or routine errors of omission by game officials.”

Here is the full statement from D’Amico, Jr.

Technically, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has the power to set back time, giving the Saints first and goal at the spot of the foul, put 1:49 back on the game clock, and let the game proceed, with the score tied, 20-20, with the Rams having one time out left.

In theory, however, such an “extraordinarily unfair” act is deemed to be related to something like a fan running onto the field and blocking a field goal attempt, but not a game official missing a call. Which makes it virtually impossible that the NFL will do anything as drastic as reversing the result of the NFC Championship Game.

Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman appeared to be guilty of pass interference when he ran into Saints wide receiver Tommylee Lewis, striking him in the helmet, before a pass intended for him arrived. The collision sent Lewis into the air, but the two officials who were watching the play did not throw penalty flags.

The missed call was immediately met with a widespread negative reaction from fans, NFL players, and the national media as one of the worst missed calls in playoff history.
