NFL Replacement refs...What if?

Rodger Goodell is trending on Twitter lol SHOCKING

That's because twitter is overrun by idiots. Roger Goodell works for the owners, not the other way around. He does their bidding, not the other way around.

Wanna have a scapegoat? Pick the right one: the owners.

Please keep these fuck ups. So much entertainment these guys are providing.

The hand-wringing going on in the media, on twitter, and message boards is amazing. I'm waiting for people to start jumping off buildings over football officials. :lol:

Seriously, one call does not determine a game outcome. That was one of the worst played games I have ever seen by the Packer Oline, especially in the first half. The Pack need to look in the mirror and realize their shitty play had a lot to do with the outcome of the game. I can think of a lot of shitty cals over the years and the media is just feeding the firestorm here. You also have to question the validity of replay at this point. Isn't the point of replay to get the call right? If so why can't they review possession in that case?

In the end the fans will pay the price for all of this BS whether it is having to watch the replacement referees or in increased ticket prices and concessions to pay for whatever the existing referees eventually get.

Joe Reedy ‏@joereedy
League spokesman says a 10-second runoff should have been applied on the Redskins injury with 1:07 remaining.

yea, fuck you refs

Reedy should have known this rule already since the rule was created because of the Bengals. Well really because of the shit Joe Nash was pulling against the Bengals.

People are upset when entertainment on which they prepaid hundreds or thousands of dollars subsequently loses all integrity? Yeah, those people are real jerks. :roll1:

I'm sorry, but when I hear "union busting" tossed around with regards to millionaire football players, and the attorneys, CEOs and bank presidents who collect 6 figures for officiating their games, I have a tough time taking it seriously.

This guy will be fine in his retirement, be it with a defined pension from his second job or a 401(k). He's not Norma Rae.

It has nothing to do with anyone feeling sorry for the real refs, but nice try at changing the subject. The real refs--or, more aptly, the replacement refs--have clearly shown that the real refs have a set of skills that few others have in society. Scarcity like that results in a higher salary--check out Econ 101.
