There are, at least, thousands of words in the English language that start with the letter A.
It’s anyone’s best guess which one Sean Payton was referencing Monday, in discussing yet another controversial defensive pass-interference call on Broncos cornerback Riley Moss during Sunday’s game against the Packers.
“He continues to compete. I can’t say the word, but it begins with an ‘A,’ relative to that call,” Payton said on a Monday conference call with reporters. “And it’s just — holy cow.”
Awful? Asinine? A three-letter synonym for donkey? Fill in the blanks.
Tony Romo himself dismissed the call live on CBS’s broadcast Sunday afternoon, as Packers rookie wideout Matthew Golden isolated on the right side against Moss on a third-quarter third down.
