Ref from Rams-Saints controversy gets confronted by fans while officiating college basketball game

Some students even made a sign asking Vinovich not to screw their team over.

According to a BYU radio host, Vinovich was not happy about the sign and he actually asked for it to be removed after the first media timeout of a game that BYU eventually won 71-66.

Hmmm... Did the check from Kroenke Sports & Entertainment LLC bounce or something? Or is he still working those games to not arouse suspicion about the sudden cash flow?

Re: Ref from Rams-Saints controversy gets confronted by fans while officiating college basketball game

See, one thing I always took pride in was how other fans were complementary of us as fans...

It's not like I wasn't devastated with the rest of the #WhoDatNation over that FUBAR missed call, among others...

But damn'it, these lawyers, politicians, and FANTATICS are taking some of this sh*t too far and we're losing face now...

Looking like fans from you know where...

As competitive as I am, some here know me personally for years can attest to this...

You Still Show some class for those around you even if you lack it for yourself - Bad Behaviour reflects on all of us...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Oh I'm sure the check cleared. People just heard about his good work and his "efforts" were needed elsewhere.

I agree about some of what you are saying but the facts are the facts and he cost us a trip to the superbowl. All of these idiots in the media can say that we don't know what would happen even if he threw the flag but we know. I hope fans confront him about it until the day he dies or retires. Its damn near a crime the way he robbed us and im just sick Saints fans being the N.F.Ls door matt every since the suspensions that where also BS.

I know what you're getting at, and I agree with the sentiment. I wouldn't encourage harassment, even for someone who might deserve it (unless we're talking about a murder or rapist, or some such criminal), because there is a way to be forceful in making a point, without acting like a maniac.

But much of what I see (not all of it) has not been what I would call maniacal behavior. If someone wants to hold up a sign telling the ref not to blow it for their team, I don't think it's over the top. Depending on the exact language.

And who says this was even a Saints fan? It was in Utah. Sure, there are Saints fans scattered all over the place, but this has been a controversy that most fans of OTHER teams have sided with the Saints on. So, it isn't just people here who are reacting to the no-calls. There's a way to be respectful and still take a stand against corruption. Make no mistake, what happened last Sunday was corruption. We've all seen missed calls. That wasn't a missed call. It was deliberate. We can spend all day theorizing the motives behind it, but it is clear that this was deliberate, imo.

Take President Trump as a perfect example: He doesn't play the "let's all be friends" game. He knew that people needed to be called out and exposed for who and what they are. And it's working for him. Everyone could stand to learn something from that.
neugey and st thomas like this.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

See, I don't have a problem with this...


It's this kinda of stuff that makes us look bad, especially while the non-essential government was shut-down (though the optics from #fakenews media put proper perspective vs Cassidy, not Richmond)...

Nonetheless, both ARE unaccountable morons...




Even this is fair...

Was it last year that the NFL re-assigned an official from a Saints game because there was a pic of him wearing a Saints jersey?

Re: Ref from Rams-Saints controversy gets confronted by fans while officiating college basketball game

How the hell can you be allowed to officiate a game involving a team you played for? That's so F'd up it's hilarious. Aren't there enough physically fit men in this country who never played in the NFL to fill the NFL ref jobs? Oh yeah, let's let Tom Brady be a ref and work Patriot games. Put him in charge of checking the pressure in the balls, too. Might be kinda tough for him, though. He'd have to throw those flags further than he ever had to throw a football.
