They only follow the rules when it suits them (or their favorite team, or the spread they bet on that week) and nothing ever happens to them when they screw up. There should be a fine schedule for refs that make horrible calls...not just keeping them from calling a playoff game, but take their money just like the rest of them. At the bare minimum, the fans should have more access to the refs to exact some barbaric justice...maybe if they get their asses kicked after screwing a team over on a bad call enough, they will start to make the right calls. Personally, i think they should find some new ones or develop a computer program to make the calls because their judgment sucks. It’s funny just how close referees are to politicians.
