This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

A judgment call on if that very offsides guy impacted play by spade

You're right I don't think he impacted it either, but I think the official was judging that exact fact.
That call was not black and white, unlike a normal offsides line is, but in this case it's by an line judge evaluating from 30 yards away, and that judgment shouldn't be overturned by a VAR or else every penalty and foul and judgment call would need to be scrupulously analyzed. Similarly, just as a video review can show zero Pass Interference occured, a la Ohio State v Miami, it still can't be overturned by the booth because it's a judgment call.

My blame is instead of the last player. If the extremely offsides player hurries back quicker, then he obviously can't impact the play, the he doesn't place the judgment in the hands of the line judge. I still think it was the wrong call, but a judgment call like that shouldn't be overturned. (PS I'm a Spurs fan = P haha COYS)
