Yet this same league, that is worth billions, cannot come to a basic understanding of and fit the bill for camera usage standards for replay determination. It’s no secret that some games have more camera coverage than others. Hence they have more angles to determine replays. The fact that they have not even attempted to establish rules to govern this is just another indication that the NFL does not care if they get the calls right. It’s all about league promotion.

This exact subject was discussed last week on NFL Radio. I forget who said it, but they said that the NFL has enough money to install permanent camera setups to ensure all games have the optimal coverage for full replay reviewal of plays and calls.

Once again, hopefully the addition of the gambling industry as a major stakeholder will help in finally getting something done.
