If the regular officials don’t like what the NFL is offering they can quit.

I am really disgusted with the way the NFL is trying to spin this. Slightly better crap is still crap. The league wants us to believe they are focused on player safety and putting the best product on the field. So why are they putting officials out there that don’t know or understand the rules, who could get players hurt, and who could adversely affect the outcomes of real games through bad calls?

Oh, that’s right… because the NFL gets to save $6,000 per official per game. Hey Roger, paying real officials is an investment in the league, not a detraction.

There were glaring mistakes in nearly every game last year that I watched. It’s a difficult job. Hopefully surgeons dont go on strike… I need my bypass surgery, here’s a replacement surgeon. Things could always be worse.

I am quickly losing interest in the NFL.
Goodell is the best thing that has happened for college football in a long time.

Improving? Well, I guess they can’t get any worse. Though after watching them call a 17 yard holding penalty in last week’s Skins/Bears game they’ve sure got a long way to go.
