This will entail showing commercials during commercials, commercials on TV screens mounted on the players helmets, commercials on TV screens installed on the actual playing surface and of course commercials on the chests of the head coaches as they are shown standing on the sidelines after each and every play pondering their next move. For 2013 the NFL already has plans to install extra TV monitors in all of the viewers homes that will also show commercials while the game is on so that their actual goal of 200 million commercials per week can be obtained. This sarcasm was brought to by FORD—have you driven a FORD lately?

The refs did a credible job. Let’s face it, we always disagree on judgement calls, calls we felt should have been made, calls we didn’t feel should have been made, replacement refs or no.

The real holdup on the NFLRA signing appears to be the ability to replace a non-performing ref mid-season, which the NFL absolutely should be able to do.

The refs to me aren’t gaining any leverage whatsoever, they should just sign the contract and we move forward.

The only difference will be that we argue over the officiating of the ‘real’ refs instead of arguing over the officiating of the replacement refs.

Too bad we all had to watch high school referees.

—————————————————————

Exactly how many more calls did these “high school officials” miss compared to the big league refs? The answer is the same. But at least these “high school refs” didn’t blow the coin toss in the only overtime game. The real refs have done that one.

Sounds like a bitter fan of the only NFC north team to not win again. Then again, if I was on the verg of losing the 3rd straight home game and starting out 0-2, I’d be bitter too.

Expensive to park, watch, eat, etc.
Much easier to sit right at home. That’s what I will and continue to do.

And it would have been higher if the replacement referees were paying attention to the game as well!

Too much money flowing through pro football in the form of gambling to not eventually corrupt it. Don’t be surprised when it happens. What goes up must eventually come down. And it always does over the course of time.

Wow!
