Based on a 7 week rule, not going to the same venue twice in a season, and Coleman having the Giants/Skins game, here’s who’s eligible for this week. I did not account for any primetime games since it doesn’t seem to be totally accurate.

San Diego/Tennessee – Riveron, Hochuli, M Carey, Corrente, Leavy, Morelli
Buffalo/Atlanta – Boger, Cheffers, Morelli
Kansas City/Cincinnatti – Winter, Coleman, Hochuli, Parry, Morelli
Oakland/Cleveland – Triplette, Hochuli, Corrente, Leavy, Morelli
Seattle/Green Bay – Cheffers, McAulay, Steratore, D Carey,
Baltimore/Pittsburgh – Green, Coleman, M Carey, Corrente, Steratore, Morelli
Houston/Miami – Winter, D Carey, Leavy
Jacksonville/New England – Boger, Cheffers, D Carey
Tampa Bay/New Orleans – Winter, Boger, Riveron, Parry
Carolina/NY Giants – Winter, Triplette, Cheffers, Hochuli, M Carey
Denver/Philadelphia – Green, Anderson, M Carey
St Louis/Arizona – Winter, Cheffers, Riveron, Anderson
Detroit/San Francisco – Coleman, Hochuli, Steratore
NY Jets/Indianapolis – Coleman, McAulay, Steratore, D Carey
Dallas/Washington – Green, M Carey, D Carey
Minnesota/Chicago – Boger, Triplette, Cheffers, McAulay, Steratore, D Carey

Walt Anderson only eligible for Den/Phi and Stl/Ari.
John Parry only eligible for KC/Cin and TB/NO.

Mike:

Not sure about Morelli’s history with PIT, but he hasn’t done Baltimore all year, the only ref who can say that.
Then again, Green did Preseason Week Two (NYJ at BAL), so it’s been a while. M.Carey and Coleman did Ravens in Games Six and Seven, respectively, and Steratore and Corrente worked Ravens in Weeks One and Two, respectively.
Hope that helps,
Joey P

Morelli has not done PIT all year, either.

Both you are correct. Pete Morelli’s Crew has the Ravens-
Steelers game this Sunday

Reply

Mike December 21, 2009 at 2:41 pm

I thought Hoculi’s crew did a good job. IMO he likes to overofficiate and get his camera time in. They threw flags but the game was not all about Ed getting his guns on camera. He also stepped into a good fight between Steven Jackson and Bernard Pollard, and they both stayed in the game and played without further incident.

Mike,

Parry is also eligible for DAL and WAS- he has not worked either team this season…

Reply

Sonofanump December 23, 2009 at 8:45 am

Jacksonville at New England – Don Carey

confirming.

Confirmed Parry in WAS

Reply

Kenneth December 23, 2009 at 2:54 pm

unless Scott Green gets the Bye week, he is only eligible for Car-Giants, so:
that would be Green – Panthers-Giants
Triplette – Minn-Chic

Reply

John December 23, 2009 at 3:31 pm

With Mike Carey working Denver/Philly, these assignments should be known…

Anderson – St. Louis at Arizona
Boger – Buffalo at Atlanta
Riveron – Tampa Bay at New Orleans

Reply

Kenneth December 23, 2009 at 6:06 pm

only if cheffers is off.

Reply

John December 23, 2009 at 9:23 pm

No

Even if Cheffers is not off.

Reply

mike December 23, 2009 at 7:02 pm

With the updates posted per above, 7 week rule, no return venues, it seems to me the following should happen:
Scott Green – Off (not eligible for any remaining games)
Walt Anderson – Stl/Ari
Al Riveron – TB/NO (only had left this game and Stl/Ari)
Jerome Boger – Buf/Atl (only had left this game and TB/NO)
Carl Cheffers – Car/NYG (only one left eligible for this game)

Leaves the following
Sea/GB – McAulay or Steratore
Det/SF – Coleman or Steratore
NYJ/Ind – Coleman or McAulay or Steratore

If Steratore in Ind, Coleman in SF, McAulay in GB
If McAulay in Ind, Steratore in GB, Coleman in SF
If Coleman in Ind, Steratore in SF, McAUlay in GB

Reply

John December 23, 2009 at 10:16 pm

McAulay is in Indy

and it’s a better chance it gets added quicker.

Added, thanks!

Any confirmation on:
Walt Anderson – St Louis/Arizona
Al Riveron – Tampa Bay/New Orleans
Jerome Booger – Buffalo/Atlanta
Carl Cheffers – Carolina/NY Giants
Gene Steratore – Seattle/Green Bay
Scott Green – OFF

I’m pretty sure this is the only way it can go.

Are u sure Leavy is in Atlanta? Didn’t Bill Leavy do the Atlanta @Carolina game in wk# 10.

Reply

John December 26, 2009 at 3:20 pm

Bill Leavy in Atlanta, Triplette in Cleveland.

Reply

russ December 26, 2009 at 3:27 pm

who’s at Chicago. I would guess Steratore or Don Carey.

Reply

big man December 26, 2009 at 3:42 pm

If leavy in ATL and Triplette in CLE then Boger must be in CHI since he has never done a CHI home game…

Reply

russ December 26, 2009 at 3:53 pm

But Boger has done 2 MNF games this year, I do not suspect we will see a third. It could also be McAulay in Chicago. Right now that is my new pick because Steratore I do not think would do 2 MNF games involving the Vikings. McAulay has done a SNF game with the Bears this year but we saw this with Scott Green and the Patriots tthis year. I guess we will just have to wait till tommorow for the assignments. I am getting annoyed with all these wrong assignments. I think people should provide their sources from now on. This makes it tough for Mike.

Reply

John 2 December 26, 2009 at 4:25 pm

I agree with russ. It is getting ridiculous.

I think everything should be taken down and left blank with the exception of…

San Diego at Tennessee – Tony Corrente
Houston at Miami – Ron Winter
Denver at Philadelphia – Mike Carey
Dallas at Washington – John Parry

first time ever Scott Green gets to do a Giant home coincidentally in the Giants last home game at Giants stadium

Reply

Frank December 27, 2009 at 1:37 pm

If Coleman is doing Green Bay and Leavy is doing Atlanta, I guess the “7 week rule” does not apply. Coleman worked the Seattle game six weeks ago and Leavy worked Atlanta six weeks ago as well

Reply

Rich Kalahiki December 27, 2009 at 1:44 pm

Exactly thats what I was trying to point out……But then again if the NFL needs certain outcomes in games and factor in weather i guess they can get around the 6 week rule.

It has to be Steratore. Cheffers has only been off once while Steratore has been off twice.

Reply

Vince December 27, 2009 at 8:06 pm

For what it’s worth…Cheffers reffed the MIN @ CHI game last season…Cheffers hasn’t been off since Week 3, but Steratore officiated a Vikings MNF game previously this season (10/4 vs GB, well past 7 weeks). It’s anybody’s guess, but I put cash on Steratore.

In past years, each referee did one Monday night game. But this year, Winter, Hochuli, Mike Carey, and Parry did not have one, while Green, Boger, Cheffers, and Steratore had two.

Frank December 27, 2009 at 8:24 pm

Yes Barry , in past years each referee worked a MNF game. Parry will not only be working his third sunday night game, but his third in the past four sundays

Morelli and his band of crooks did a number on the Ravens yesterday. 2 td’s called back on phantom holding calls . No,I’m not a sore Ravens fan and I bet on the Steelers but boy they sure gave me a gift.Why are the Steelers seemingly involved in shady games on a regular basis? Alot more than their fair share it seems.

Mr S- I have written to the league about your display of favoratizm toward Bret Farve during the 12/28/2009 vikings/ Bears game. You have no business helping any player up off the deck. You have no business helping another player with their uniform. You should have called Farve for unsporting conduct after spiking the ball in anger during over time. Where was the call for the Cutler helmet to face hit during the game?
