Official in Seahawks-Cardinals game had Seahawks ties

Lost in Sunday’s report regarding the league’s decision to pull a Saints fan/replacement official from Sunday’s game between the Saints and the Panthers is the fact that the league didn’t pull an official from Week One’s Seahawks-Cardinals game who has more tangible ties to one of the teams involved.

According to Albert Breer of NFL Network, Jeff Sadorus worked as a field judge for the September 9 game between Seattle and Arizona, even though Sadorus has officiated Seahawks practice for three years — getting paid by the Seahawks for doing so.

Breer’s ultimate employer — the NFL — declined comment. But the fact that either Sadorus didn’t disclose the connection or he did and the NFL didn’t see a problem with it should be cause for concern.
