That is just a wild pick. Like a total WTF move.
I'm not sure if this is true, but there are pictures of the owner down in the team room... allegedly not happy with that pick. Don't know if I buy that, but boy... Kevin Costner ain't walking through that door.

Yeah, agreed.
What bugs me the most about VAR is that when you slow down footage to a frame by frame viewing, EVERYTHING* looks like a serious foul/infraction. I don't mind freeze framing offsides and handballs, but fouls should mostly be viewed in real time mode.

As you kind of alluded to, it's not really his deal and he was reckless. But, still, that hit needs to get at least 2 minutes IMO. (I also did...
