Around the NFL halfway mark.

I'm sure it's a Ref Union thing too, because the NFL can't just switch to full time ref's if they want too, they have to get the union to go along, and that probably involves "painful" give and take from the NFL.

Whatever the reasons against it, the NFL needs to make getting full-time officials a priority.

I'd like to amend your motion....

"Get Full Time Ref's AND cut the rule book".

A full time ref who has his livelihood depending on how well he performs would surely raise the stakes for people to try to do a better job.

And talk about bull shit calls...illegal formation.
I don't care where anyone stands on the line of scrimmage (or 1 yard off, etc.)

Eliminate the illegal formation BS and pass a rule that anyone wearing a number in the 50's, 60's or 70's cannot be a receiver and be done with it.
Anybody else in the game...well, you better cover them if they go run a route.

No more having to report in as an eligible receiver, etc.
