Did the NFL Tell the Ref's It's Time for Another Giants Super Bowl?

ESPN - The go-ahead touchdown came after Manning threw 29 yards to Victor Cruz, who stumbled to the ground, got up and left the ball on the ground on a play the Cardinals insisted was a fumble. The referee said the call could not be challenged because Cruz "gave himself up" on the play and therefore was down.

Are you freaking kidding me NFL? What, did the Manning family pay the league office off again? What is going on here? I've never before heard of anyone "giving themselves up," unless you count a QB sliding feet first or a kick returner taking a knee.  Certainly never heard of anyone giving up by slipping and falling face first and leaving the ball on the ground before being tagged down. What an asinine ruling.

And if that's not bad enough I had to relive Eli's 2007 "close my eyes, wing and a prayer" touchdown heave play like .30 seconds later to Nicks. Between the ref's playing for the Giants and yet another Eli prayer, the end of the game was just eerily reminiscent to 2007. Renewed my hatred for that hick with a touch of Downs all over again. 

Only explanation is the league is acting in cahoots with the Giants, again. I mean how else do you explain the "Dream Team" sitting at 1-3 and Romo blowing double digit leads every other week? The league must have the ref's doing everything they can to clear an easy path to the division championship for New York.
