You were a great referee. I wish you could stay on the field as I liked your calls minus the Lee Evans drop in the endzone, which I thought was a TD. But I moved on from that! Buenas suerte!!!!!

As for how good a ref he was… I think last year showed us that the veteran “real officials” weren’t a whole lot better than the lockout replacements who only had a crash course in NFL rules.

I cant really pass judgement on who was better or worse, but i always thought he had the most unique delivery of announcing calls.

Plus when the league was celebrating certain cultures, hed do the calls in Spanish!

I liked that guy. Good dude.

Peter principle at work.

Yep, that sounds about right.

Sounds like they’re masking a demotion/firing with a cushy desk job instead.
