NFL memo urges team silence on replacement officials

Clarke · 08-10-2012, 12:47 AM

Not to be pro-Goodell here, but it really hurts the leagues stance in these negotiations if coaches and players start complaining about the poor quality of reffing in the preseason. That gives the striking refs a serious leg up.

I personally want these negotiations to be over with before the regular season, and I don't think Goodell will cave as easily as the refs will. The NFL will go on regardless, but will the striking refs work? The easier these negotiations go for the NFL, the better.

DAMN! Does this mean we're not gonna' be able to talk about the NFL's first female ref? I was gonna' blog,

... and excuse me for being sexist, but I thought she had a cute butt,

... and last, but not least, if we're gonna' have women refs, I'd like to see Zoey in a zebra suit calling a game,

Watch out Slomotion, talking about a ref's butt could get you on roger stalin's ever growing "list".

The best any team could hope for would be that the sorry assed calls and no calls will at least even out. In a way I guess that's not much different than what we have with the regular refs. I'm more concerned about injuries due to slow whistles and the stripes losing control of the game. Not that anyone'll say anything about it. I wonder if the nfl network and spen got the same memo....
