Exactly how much does it cost...

...to buy an NFL ref these days?

I'll admit, today being the first Sunday since February in which I couldn't find at least some sort of racing to watch has left me in a not-so-pleasant mood, but this has been going on for at least 3 weeks now. I have never seen so many bad or missed calls before. Not just one game, either, but each one that I have watched. It really takes the fun out of a game when the outcome is decided by the officials inabillity to make a correct call, rather than the teams that are playing.

At this rate, if even Cinncinatti can come up with the money, they're Superbowl bound!

Take care,

I would agree Pkr accept with the major rule changes they have had over the past few years watching them in replay the refs have called right for the most part the crap is that the rules are written so a bunch of p\/$$y$ could go out and play now the crap about if the ground can not cause a fumble...I think is the biggest load out there.

In the past 3 weeks, I have seen 7 fumbles that were CLEARLY fumbles, but the refs whistled the play dead, and the team retained possesion. Oddly enough, the majority of the suspect calls went towards helping the same teams in each game.

Who knows. Who cares. Daytona & Pomona will be here before long.

Take care,

No kidding, did you guys see the St. Louis vs Washington game?? The rams got screwed big time by the refs! I am a redskins fan, cuz of spurrier, but i mean, it seemed like every play there was a penalty against the rams. There are also way too many penalties now a days. It seems like on every big play you see, it gets called back because of a flag. Its making the game not near aas fun as it used to be to watch. I say let em play, just like hockey, back up and let em fight.

The poor job being done by NFL officials has been prominent for a couple years now. They have been screwing up WAY to much recently. I remember it started around 3 years ago. It was to the point it was almost ridicuolus. I was hoping they would improve, because it ruins the game, but they havent yet.
