Former NFL Ref whines "They're not being fair!"
Well, bless his little heart! The most high-and-mighty, untouchable group of employees in the world aren't being treated fairly.
Well, boo f***ing hoo!
He complains that the head of NFL Officiating doesn't have the on-field experience necessary for making the final call on plays. Who needs a replay when Ed "All About Me" Hochuli botches a call, admits it, and does nothing to rectify it? Anyone else would have been fired!
Jeff Fisher criticizes the officiating after a notoriously bad game and HE gets fined.
A referee tells a Buffalo Bills player before a game that he doesn't like the coach or the team. Surprise. The Bills lose that game.
In this article Green states: "Officials who miss calls should be downgraded, and if mistakes are repeatedly made over time, the official should be released."
Loosely translated, they can make mistakes without fear of retribution. Oh, so maybe they don't get to officiate a play-off game but so what? They're back next year.

I Really Miss Janet Jackson!
There is an old joke about laws and sausages; both were ok if you didn't see how either one was made. The first three weeks of this year, I got a brief but behind-the-scenes glimpse of the NFL hiring practices and found it to be just as nauseating.
At least Corporate America is consistent: The bottom line. If you don't contribute to the earnings of the company, you're out and somebody who will is in.
But the NFL isn't like that: You contribute to your defense being top in the league, who cares? You're fired because we want someone else. You're good at your job, and one of the best defensive coaches but tough shit! We want someone else. Oh, we can't get anyone else? I guess you'll do.
This petty, childish bullshit was the reason that I didn't watch that football gigantic bowl thingy yesterday. The Knee-pads vs. Ellie Mae? Yawn. I think I heard somebody say that Ellie Mae won.
Let's make it exciting again and something worth watching. Everyone still talks about Janet Jackson's halftime performance from a few years ago. She should have performed again yesterday (nothing against Tom Petty cuz he's pretty cool, but I really don't want to see his breast).
