Welcome back students if you haven’t been watching the NFL
has experienced a shock to its system. That shock is replacement referees they
have blown call after call as they stumble their way thru the preseason. Today
im going to let off some steam about these guys because I tell ya kids if we
are stuck with them all season?...
Then
this is going to be a very long season. Although I have not experienced a
horrible call in any of the games I have watched. I know that every night as I watch
ESPN Sportscenter they show me play after play with these poor guys blowing
play after play. This bugs me that the NFL has taken such a hard stance against
such a vital part of the game of football. The Referee’s the normally officiate
the game and they control a lot of the pace and sometimes in the outcome of
games. To hand this important duty to anyone other than the professionals that
have been doing this for the past 25+ years. Now don’t get me wrong its not
like they put in trained monkey’s these are skilled referees they just aren’t NFL
ref’s. So they are not as familiar with the pace of the NFL game and have to
get used to it but they are trained NCAA officials and have years of experience
at what can be considered the NFL’s Minor Leagues the NCAA. So they do know
football they just don’t know it at the NFL level. I make one final plea to the
NFL to go back to the negotiating table with the normal referees and lets get
back to football as we all know it…
Well
students we will have to hold our breath in order to find out when the old ref’s
will be coming back. But lets just say lets hope it is soon because I feel
sorry for the ref that blows the a call late in the game that cost a team a
playoff spot. That’s enough ranting for now till tomorrow…Class is Dismissed…
