When this deal is finalized it will be a victory for the American people against immoral billionaires.

There is no way that the NFL can survive any longer being opposed to truth, justice, and the Green Bay Packers.

The NFL statement Tuesday exposed their lies, hypocrisy, and immorality and the American people will not stand for that.

Putting out an adulterated product at higher prices crapped on their NFL brand and shield.

They better start faking that they are interested in truth, justice, and the American way.

So we’re about to go from cheap refs that make mistakes, to expensive refs that make mistakes?

Coincidence? I think not.

Bring back the regular refs so I can start watching the second game from the beginning and not from the middle of the second quarter.

i hate to say this but Mort is usually wrong. I can’t stand Scheftler but he has better sources. I dont believe it yet.

I’m hearing NFLRA negotiator Scott Green has notified officials that a deal is not imminent. Stay tuned, obviously.

So Mort is once again full of crap. I hope you screw that liar to the wall, Florio.

So, how do we know this isn’t the NFL trying to bum rush the referees into making a deal that they don’t like? That’s pretty much how they did it with the players. I for one would like to finally see someone stick it to Goodell and the owners.

What happens if they settle on friday. Does that mean
the Clevland and baltimore have to play thur night with the replacements and the rest of the league get the regular guys on sunday. If this gets done it will have to be today or wait till next tuesday

Some of you are missing what the “Regular Refs” bring to the table. Yes, we’re still going to have some missed calls. But what you won’t see is Referee’s losing control of a game like last Monday Night with the Broncos & Falcons, or constantly having to review play after play. The flow of these games has been whack, the control over players and coaches has been whack, the consistancy in penalty calling has been whack. Get the real refs back out there, and get the replacemants back to NAIA and Lingerie Leagues.

“Now we’ll never see another blown call again!”

Har har, you’re hilarious.

How simple do you have to be to think that just because the old refs blew calls that there is no difference between them and he horror show that is the replacement refs? Try seeing a little nuance.

falcon they are not a 100% they have made bad calls I dont know what you are thinking and no the packers will not win every game from than on unless the refs are for the packers and the saints can also say they can start winning since they were also saying the replacement refs were costing them games which is all bogus

League has completely embarassed itself this year.

At the time of an announced agreement I hope they have the sense to issue an apology to the fans for having to endure this garbage.

Anyone else find it hilarious that “jobbed” is the de facto word of choice for what happened to the Packers? Tirico said it first and the rest of the world just ran with it. No one is saying they got “screwed” which I feel is a much more common term. The amount of times I have heard the word “jobbed” in my life just multiplied by 20 over the past two days.

Even if the real refs make mistakes, at least we know the best of them are making them and not rookies LOL.

Thank you to the Green Bay Packers, for taking one for the rest of the league.

The best thing about this entire deable is that the Packers are PISSED OFF and the Saints will soon be 0-4.

I want to see a Hochuli vs Tebow dead weightlifting contest.

I’m ecstatic at this development.

Now we will have perfect officiating. There will never again be any blown call of any severity in the NFL, and there will definitely never again be any blown call affecting the outcome of a game.

Happy days are here again!

If this report is accurate, it is hilarious that a Packers loss preceded an agreement. Hilarious and sad. Packers fans are the worst.

I bet you anything it was the Rooneys that got this done. They have been behind just about every NFL accomplishment. GO STEELERS
