Although I will be the first to admit I'm not an expert on rules, I heard the interview and saw the play. Could it have been called a penalty...absolutely. The point is, it wasn't and that's just sports...not an exact science. You win some and you lose some. IMO Francesa was badgering Revis to admit on public radio that there should have been a penalty called on him. I give Revis credit for doing the interview and for keeping his cool much longer than I would have. I also believe that Francesa had no intention of moving on, he's an egomaniac that was hell bent on getting what he wanted out of the interview and only later began backpedaling. I can see why few want to be interviewed by him. That said, I think the PR tool "listening in" and advising Revis to hang up hurt more than it helped.
