For cheap too $500 per game. Give me a call NFL. The refs you have are horrible, and don’t deserve anything more than what they are getting.

the scrubs wouldn’t be any worse. in the limited number of games that i watch there were several times last season, on replay, that the live audience as well as the tv audience knew what the call should be and yet the ref got it wrong.
is there any penalty for these guys when they screw up besides not getting to work the superbowl?

also florio, how much do these guys get paid?

They’re all useless.

Looking at some of these guys I question they can even see well enough with their terrible calls. It would also help teams for the refs to get the ball to the line of scrimmage faster or running down field watching the play.

I am sure the NFl could implement an off-season training program for them.

This type of thinking brings the group down to the lowest contibuters level, instead of making the group as a whole excel, and strive to be better.

Thank god for Unions.

Of course, some of the idiots posting here don’t want you to know that if it wasn’t for Unions, non-union workers would be working for 50 cents an hour.

They cost teams games, PLAY OFF games and a run for the super bowl with horrible calls. NFL has no hesitation fining a guy 10 20 50k for what they deem a bad play how bout fining the Refs for horrible calls? A refs bad call has , more impact on a game and a team than a questionable hit or a guy taking his helmet off on the field

Replacements can’t be any worse can they? This most recent post season was the sorriest excuse of officiating I have ever seen.

That’s laughable. Other than the NCAA, unions are the most corrupt organizations in the nation.

Replacements really can’t be any worse than the ‘part time’ refs we have now…and if replacements turn out to be better…I hope the NFL holds it in the face of the current refs and say “See? They’re better for less, so stop f*&#ing around and learn to do your damn job.”
