But it happens a hell of a lot more to the Saints than a lot of other teams. Ask yourself this; when was the last time you remember a bad call going FOR the Saints in a game ending drive situation?

I was fortunate enough to be a rugby referee for over forty years. One man with a whistle can control thirty players effectively. Why can't the NFL do it with all their money? I know what good refereeing looks like and this ain't it. It is the main reason I can't stomach the NFL anymore.
We constantly work on making refs better and will retrain most rugby refs annually. I've been a ref coach for over twenty years. Even the good refs still need to learn to the new laws of the game. In short we invest in referees but the NFL still refuses to do that! And yes, we play by our own laws in rugby. Not rules. We never play by the rules. :p |
