    Honestly, I think the NFL has no reason to go back to regular refs. Everyone is talking about football, everyone is going to tune in to the car wreck..i think this is a good thing for the nfl in terms of ratings, revenue dollars etc.

    I heard some defensive player say(at least I think it was a defensive player)

    "I like the replacement refs, they just let us play"

    As a quarterback gets his helmet ripped off his head, loses part of his ear, on an illegal hit.....

    Just sit down and settle with the refs..
    Get it done in the next 2-3 days...
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Well those part-time employees are obviously a pretty vital part of this league.
    yeah but they are greedy for wanting to get paid a fair wage. i mean they work at most 21 weeks a year and get the other half the year to line their coffers with other jobs. sure they have to prepare for the upcoming season by staying in shape and knowing the rulebook, but those old refs, once they have been around long enough and know they aren't going to get fired, just don't give a shit. fuck the unions man they make no sense.

    pretty sure it's not about the wages...it's about the pension vs. switching to a 401K system.

    my point is that the rich people always win they make the rules and change them how they see fit.

    that's partly true (espescially that heyward-bey hit)...however, i heard a stat on the score this morning that pass interference calls are up 200% this year vs last...

    That was Cortland Finnigan. Doesn't seem like the most level headed dude to get an opinion from. It's nice having him on one of the teams I'm pulling for while my Colts rebuild, but he's about as dirty as they get.


    And that's gotta be a suspension for that hit on Schaab. The Broncos are the other team I'm pulling for but that was dangerous and the defender made no attempt to tackle him.

    :think:

    OK, but let's take it another step and have special guest referees like in the WWF. Just think of the level of intrigue that will be added when Commissioner McMahon ... I mean Goodell ... announces just prior to the coin toss that Bill Romanowski will the the head of officiating in a Giants / Broncos matchup.

    I'd love to see Tom Coughlin argueing a call in the endzone and see Romanowski climb up on the goal post and unleash a Superfly Splash on him.
