Maybe the greedy part-timers will be happy with only $150,000 per year, great medical benefits and a 401(k) instead of a six figure lifetime pension. I know they were anxious because they all needed fresh NFL stories to spin around the country club.

They’re just now changing numbers and ideas? Lovely.

Without realizing it, the full time refs have put a significant amount of pressure on their own performance. They blasted the temps for blowing calls and getting so many fundamentals of the game wrong, but when they come back, they need to be as close to perfect as they can be since they’ve touted they’re the best.

And I guarantee it won’t be long before one of the full time crew blows a call that is “obvious.”

Hopefully they get something done cause the calls in last nights vikings/texans game were pathetic… 15 minutes to figure out 1 foul and they didn’t even get it right.. and there were a bunch of other horrible calls going both ways… watching the replacements for these first few weeks sure makes the regular officials look much better

My one hope is that if/when the regular refs come back this site and all the other people pointing out every little mistake the replacements make keep doing it to the regular refs.

Have the referees dropped the pension argument yet?

ive been thinking that they just wanted to get the preseason off while they could.

What happens when the locked out officials cost a team a game?
