Found this

The misidentification led to conspiracy theories about McKinnely's involvement, due to his time spent as a player with the Rams and Atlanta Falcons. McKinnely's Wikipedia page was the subject of constant edits throughout the day, at one point referring to him as legally blind, another saying he was an "undercover referee working a special assignment to market the Rams."

McKinnely was a member of a Thursday Night Football crew during a 2017 Saints loss to the Atlanta Falcons, after which Payton questioned the officiating. He was also the official who ruled Broncos player Justin Simmons inbounds as he returned a blocked extra point for two points during a game in 2016.

UNACCEPTABLE!!!

In no way should a former player be able to call(Aikman) or OFFICIATE a game for teams that they have previously played for. It's BS

How do you not make this rule when you invent the game of football. It’s such an obvious conflict of interest I just assumed it wasn’t allowed.
The NFL is broken and it starts with Goodell. Too much authority falls to one man.
