The date: September 24, 2012. The place: CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington. The scene: With only eight seconds left in the fourth and final quarter, the Green Bay Packers held a 12-7 lead over the Seattle Seahawks. With their backs against the wall, the Seattle Seahawks tried, in one last ditch attempt to win, throw a hail mary from the Green Bay 40. What ensued next would go down in history as one of the biggest disasters of the replacement referee experiment in the NFL.........
(The QB for the Seahawks is Eridan. The recievers for Seattle are Vriska, Karkat and Sollux; the Packer defenders are Tavros, Feferi and Terezi.)
JOHN GLASGOW
Fourth down and ten; the Seahawks are down by 5, and need a touchdown to win the game.
PHIL SIMONOFF
Ya talk about a roll of the dice, this is it.
JOHN
Ampora ready.... takes the snap out of the shotgun, tries to evade a few Packers.... this is it, the final play, Eridan throws it, into the end zone! There a few Packers there...... and
(the quagmire in the endzone ensues)
OH, MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS! KARKAT VANTAS AND FEFERI HAVE BOTH GOT THE BALL, BUT THIS COULD BE VERY CLOSE! IT IS......
(Vinyl Scratch and Dr. Stein, two of the refs come close to the pile; Vinyl calls no time, Dr. Stein calls it a touchdown)
TOUCHDOWN! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
PHIL
NO! This has to be reviewed
JOHN
In a stunning turn of events, Vinyl Scratch said no time, but Dr. Stein said it was a touchdown! They're trying to determine who has it, but the Seahawks are celebrating like crazy; we cannot say with certainty about this yet; but the Seahawks have won!
PHIL
They are saying it will be reviewed.....
DR. STEIN
The play will be reviewed.
JOHN
We cannot say with absolute certainty who got it, but from our vantage point, Karkat had it at first, but Feferi Pexies also had it as well........ it also looked liked that Feferi tried to push off Karkat, and if that is the case than that would be a penalty.....
PHIL
Watch Karkat; he was trying to fight for the ball, but Feferi tries to get her hands on it, I believe that Feferi had intercepted the ball, but in the rule of simultaneous posession, you have the offensive player get credit.
JOHN
Packers coach Rose LaLonde is fretting a bit, she seems to be in tears; but coach Egbert of the Seahawks is in celebration mode. OK.... they seem to have reviewed it, and now here's Octavia with the call.
OCTAVIA
Upon further review, the call on the field stands, TOUCHDOWN!
JOHN
UNBELIEVEABLE! THE SEAHAWKS HAVE WON, ON ONE OF THE MOST CRAZIEST AND UNBELIEVEABLE FINISHES IN THE HISTORY OF SPORT!
(We see Rose accost Octavia, in tears, while John is in full celebration mode.)
ROSE
YOU SON OF A b***h! HOW COULD YOU?! FEFERI HAD IT FIRST, YOU IDIOT!

Technically, the game was not over; an extra point had to be tried. But the Seahawks prevailed in what would the tipping point in the replacement referee fiasco of the NFL; a few days later, the real refs struck a deal and were back on the field for the following week of action.

Here it is, the first segment of the play! Feedback is welcome; this is only a rough draft.
