‘A Disgrace!' Merrill Reese Went Ballistic After Awful Fumble Call in Dallas

It's not like you want to relive anything about Sunday's truly awful game down in Dallas, especially anything at all remotely involving a referee.

But if there's one man who can help us have a cathartic moment while doing so, it's the voice of the Eagles himself, Merrill Reese.

Not surprisingly, Merrill was absolutely livid when the officials stated the Eagles didn't clearly have the ball after the fumble recovery to start the game.

And Merrill let the listeners everywhere know it.

"WHAT! WHAT! WHAT! Oh... that is unbelievable. That is a disgrace! That is a disgrace! That is a disgrace we do not have a clear recovery. That is a disgrace! The Eagles simply came up with the football, you can look at the replay. Two Eagles came up with it. It was clear as day," Merrill screamed into our hearts.

You need to hear it for yourself though.

Obviously Merrill wasn't the only person who thought it was a truly bat[stuff] call. Former NFL refs said it was wrong. And of course Malcolm Jenkins had a lovely take on the whole thing that will surely cost him money.

Shoutout to PhillyVoice's Jimmy Kempski who shared Merrill's audio of the call on Twitter.
