> they have the tech to let me see a 3D rendering of this play on my phone while sitting on my couch, from whatever angle i want, but it’s not challengeable.
> sure yeah that makes sense.
yeah
Honestly the 3D rendering makes it look a shit ton closer than what the replay showed, and looking at this I see how the umpire made the call he did
