Re: Replacement refs: The story the NFL wants to keep quiet
Gah... I thought they did. My bad. You can tell I dont watch baseball lol. My point however was more that the NFL is proving the refs worth it and that the other sports are not all that comparable.
Lets face it, MLB is review technology away from needing almost no refs whatsoever. They have close calls, but dont have to make that with 22 different players flying around in all directions. They know when that call is coming and SHOULD always be in the proper position. That cant be said for NFL refs when they also have to make sure they arent in the way. And sometimes making sure the play can happen means they move themselves out of prime location to make the needed call. Comparing NFL refs to MLB umps is like comparing the SEC to pop warner. |

Re: Replacement refs: The story the NFL wants to keep quiet
I'm betting that we'll see a lot of Coaches saying along the same line of "Boy am I glad to see you guys again" or "boy never thought I'd miss you" to the refs. I also expect a lot of cheers from the fans whenever the refs make their first calls. Possibly even hear Ed Houchuli say "good to be back..we have holding offense ..."
Bottom line this is great news that we have real officials back.

Re: Replacement refs: The story the NFL wants to keep quiet
Super happy about this being resolved because even though they aren't perfect either, the real refs are light years better than what's been calling these past 3 weeks worth of games, now how many quarters into tomorrow nights game before fans boo a call? Hahaha

Re: Replacement refs: The story the NFL wants to keep quiet
Finally! As has been mentioned the real refs are far from perfect but this will solve a lot of the issues the replacements were struggling with.
