Gene Steratore never did an NFL game this season involving either the Chicago Bears or the Detroit Lions…I hope he gets the chance to officiate the Bears-Lions game at Ford Field.

Shane Spencer December 29, 2009 at 8:02 am

Actually, I saw Steratore officiate the MIN @ CHI Monday night season finale, so he will not officiate the CHI @ DET game.

Reply

John Sandlin January 1, 2010 at 11:29 pm

Actually, Jeff Triplette worked the Chi-Minn last Monday night

Russ January 2, 2010 at 1:39 am

No John, it was Steratore, check NFL.com

As people start pouring into look at WEEK 17 assignments I just want everybody to take the time and click on Mike Carey’s profile to see all the comments Mike Carey received from his trash job this Sunday in Philadelphia….

This time around, let’s provide documented proof for what crew works what game so we don’t go through the hassles we’ve gone through.

Frank December 28, 2009 at 12:00 pm

Shane , I have a feeling Steratore might be doing the Cinn-Jets game.

Reply

Shane Spencer December 29, 2009 at 8:04 am

Really? He officiated a game involving those same two teams at the same venue last season.

Reply

Frank December 28, 2009 at 12:01 pm

John 2, I agree with you about the hassles we have gone through, but at the same time guessing is the fun part of this website.
Hope to see R

John 2 December 28, 2009 at 3:42 pm

Frank –

Guessing is fine.

It’s saying that so and so is working this game. For example,

Washington at San Diego – Mike Carey

That’s without a link to back it up.

That’s what causes all the hassles.

Frank December 28, 2009 at 12:03 pm

John 2, I agree with you about the hassles we have gone through, but at the same time guessing is the fun part of this website.
Hope to see Ron Winter do the Phil Dallas game because he has never officiated a regular season game in Dallas.
Also, across the state, I would like to see Walt Anderson do the NE-Houston game because he has never done a Houston home game regardless if he resides in Houston or not

Frank December 28, 2009 at 12:05 pm

Yesterday was Mike Carey’s first game in Philly since 2000. I think he may have done a playoff game there a few years ago. I gotta research that

Reply

Matt Rafferty December 28, 2009 at 12:51 pm

It was an absolute joke what happened in Philly yesterday and his job should be reviewed thoroughly following the year

Reply

John 2 December 28, 2009 at 3:43 pm

That Maclin catch WAS A CATCH.

It’s not his or any offical’s fault the Broncos are 2-7 in their 9 games.

Reply

TIM December 29, 2009 at 3:06 pm

what are you talking about matt rafftery? mike carey is the best nfl referee. you are a f*cking fool to bash him. get a life.

Reply

Matt Rafferty December 29, 2009 at 5:01 pm

by no means is he the best @ all. his crew is bad, therefore he as a whole is not the best.

Reply

bill December 28, 2009 at 1:25 pm

Matt,

Take a hike Carey is one of the best refs of the last 10 years and hasn’t missed a playoff season since 1998. His U Steve Wilson is a joke. He is a motivational speaker and seems like a nice guy but he hasn’t made the playoffs since 2003 and is rated as one of the lowest officials each year.

Reply

Matt Rafferty December 28, 2009 at 2:21 pm

I know that Carey has been regarded as a very good official. But in watching this year I feel like he has begun to lapse. His crew yesterday changed that game, but there have been a couple other occasions this year where he missed IMPORTANT calls. Overall I think he is a good ref and controls good, but he tends to miss those big and important game changing calls.

Reply

Jimmy December 29, 2009 at 11:16 pm

Mike Carey is outstanding. You must be from Denver. I cant think of 1 game where the outcome was altered due to a bad Carey call.

Reply

John December 28, 2009 at 1:29 pm

Morelli is in Cleveland.

What’s your source? Or are you taking a wild guess?

I have not seen Ed Hochuli at any Dallas Cowboy game this year. Why is this??

Hochuli will not be doing a Cowboys game this year.

No problem Jan.

FYI, the eligible refs of Eagles@Cowboys are Ron Winter, Jeff Triplette, and Walt Anderson.

The Texans post the info but not until later in the week when they post the “flip card”.

Reply

Kenneth December 29, 2009 at 2:04 am

Hi all –
If you are interested, the only games that Boger is good for, following the 5-week rule, and no returns to the same home venue, are: Chicago-detriot and Kansas City-Denver.

Don carey can only be in buffalo, miami or minnesota
Corrente is only eligible for Baltimore-Oakland unless I made a mistake somewhere

Reply

John 2 December 29, 2009 at 12:06 pm

It’s SIX, NOT FIVE. Week 11 or before and teams not worked twice. If also not 2 home games, here’s what I have eligible. This is based on what’s listed and Corrente having Baltimore-Oakland (I tabulated as that being the case.)

Walt Anderson – NE @ HOU, PIT @ MIA, PHI @ DAL, CIN @ NYJ

Jerome Boger – CHI @ DET, KC @ DEN

Don Carey – IND @ BUF, PIT @ MIA, NYG @ MIN

Mike Carey – IND @ BUF, NO @ CAR, PIT @ MIA, SF @ STL,WSH @ SD

Carl Cheffers – IND @ BUF, NE @ HOU, NYG @ MIN, GB @ AZ

Walt Coleman – IND @ BUF, NE @ HOU, KC @ DEN, BYE

Scott Green – ATL @ TB, GB @ AZ, KC @ DEN, BYE

Bill Leavy – NE @ HOU, PIT @ MIA, CIN @ NYJ

Terry McAulay – NYG @ MIN, SF @ STL, ATL @ TB, KC @ DEN

John Parry – IND @ BUF, NO @ CAR, CHI @ DET, NE @ HOU, KC @ DEN

Alberto Riveron – NO @ CAR, CHI @ DET, NYG @ MIN, WSH @ SD, CIN, NYJ

Gene Steratore – NO @ CAR, ATL @ TB, GB @ AZ, CIN @ NYJ

Jeff Triplette – NE @ HOU, NYG @ MIN, PHI @ DAL, WSH @ SD, CIN @ NYJ

Ron Winter – NO @ CAR, NYG @ MIN, SF @ STL, GB @ AZ, PHI @ DAL, WSH @ SD

Anyone know who got the Giants/Vikings game??

Reply

Shane Farmer December 29, 2009 at 11:06 am

What happened to the rule that every crew gets 1 Monday Night game? Gene Steratore officiated both Vikings Monday Night games this year.

Reply

bill December 29, 2009 at 12:20 pm

The rule was changed this year to where they try to get every crew to visit 15 different stadiums this year (not having 2 assignments in the same stadium). They also made sure every crew had at least one SNF or MNF game.

Reply

Frank December 29, 2009 at 3:49 pm

Off the subject a little for what I believe is the fourth year in a row, both FOX and CBS will televise two games each into every market this sunday regardless if the local team is home or not.

Reply

Frank December 29, 2009 at 3:50 pm

just to add to the last post, that of course only pertains to the last regular season sunday of the year for the fourth year in a row

Reply

Frank December 29, 2009 at 3:55 pm

In the New York area of course we will get Giants-Minn and probably Pitts-Mia at 1:00 I am guessing at 4:oo it will be Phil-Dallas and Balt-Oak

Reply

John December 29, 2009 at 11:43 pm

Corrente is in Oakland

Reply

bill December 29, 2009 at 11:55 pm

And what is your proof?

Reply

Kenneth December 30, 2009 at 12:15 am

not saying this is a guarantee, but going back and eliminating any teams he has worked at home, plus elimiatin any teams from week 12-16, he is only eligible for Baltimore Oakland…

Reply

Joe Platania December 30, 2009 at 8:15 am

Not only that, Kenneth, but Corrente hasn’t done any BAL games since Week 2 in SD. You could be right…

Reply

Rich Kalahiki January 3, 2010 at 10:54 am

As a Raiders fan please don’t send either of the Walts (Walt Anderson or Walt Colman) to referee the final game of the season against the Baltimore Ravens.

Raiders are crybabies. If they had their way no one would ref their games. Thank god they still suck.

Reply

Kenneth December 30, 2009 at 11:45 pm

its Corrente 99.9% sure

Reply

Frank December 30, 2009 at 1:33 pm

I don’t think Coleman has worked a Raider game since the tuck game. I don’t see why he should not be assigned to a Raider game now. Nobody goes to Raider games anyway

Reply

Kenneth December 30, 2009 at 11:45 pm

haha true, i doubt he will though, b/c Corrente is only eliglbe for this game…he isnt eligible for any other game

Is Mike Caray ref for Packers/Cardinals?

Reply

John 2 December 30, 2009 at 4:51 pm

I doubt it since he’s been to Arizona already despite John Parry working 2 Giant home games.

he isnt even eligible.

Gene Steratore will be in Tampa Bay for Falcons/Buccaneers.

He refereed a college basketball game tonight between Canisius and St. Bonaventure, and I asked him where he’d be. He told me Tampa Bay.

bill –

I asked Gene to come to my buddy’s New Year’s Eve party, but he declined because he was flying out out of Buffalo to head to Tampa Bay last night.

He told me to have two beers for him, though, and I fully intend to do so. We may also do a shot for him.

There’s the proof that he was at the game last night that I mentioned.

I believe John Parry was the only referee to work two home games for a team this year. He did the Oakland-Giants game and the Philadelphia-Giants game.
