Week 17’s list is now completed! Many thanks to Kenneth for taking the time to chart out all the possibilities.
– Preth
I have edited your list, to help reflect that crews cannot work teams three times.
Preth, can you please correct the following:
DAL @ NYG – Anderson, Boger, Corrente
SEA @ AZ – Boger, Parry, Triplette, Steratore
why is Cheffers not eligible for DAL@NYG?
and thanks for catching my location mistake…it is in fact SEA @ AZ, not AZ @ SEA
I’ve been updating your post, as assignments become known. I missed that one instance of Cheffers.
ah ok. i didn’t notice you had been removing someone once their assignment was known. good idea though.
Thanks Shane, the DAL @ NYG correction is made, and multiple corrections were made on SEA @ AZ.
You’re welcome.
If I had to guess of the remainder
SF@STL – Morelli
BAL@CIN – Triplette
PIT@CLE – Parry
DET@GB – Winter
NYJ@MIA – Boger
BUFF@NE – Green
DAL@NYG – Anderson
IND@JAX – Leavy
TEN@HOU – Corrente
KC@DEN – Riveron
SEA@AZ – Steratore
Well, my predictions are:
BUF @ NE – Leavy
NYJ @ MIA – Green
IND @ JAX – Parry
TEN @ HOU – Anderson
BAL @ CIN – Riveron
PIT @ CLE – Boger
KC @ DEN – Morelli
TB @ ATL – Carey
CHI @ MIN – Coleman
DET @ GB – Winter
DAL @ NYG – Corrente
SF @ STL – Triplette
SEA @ AZ – Steratore
I believe John Parry is also eligible to work DAL@NYG
Yes.
If Triplette gets SF @ STL, then Morelli must do KC @ DEN, which means Boger must do NYJ @ MIA, Parry must do IND @ JAX, Riveron must do PIT @ CLE, and Steratore must do SEA @ AZ.
But if Morelli gets SF @ STL, then it will depend on who will have to officiate the remaining games.
Oh I did leave those out. My bad.
Blakeman is doing SD-Oakland, McAulay is off.
Hi Mickey:
Carl Cheffers’ crew is finishing his regular season assignment next Sunday, January 1st.,in Philadelphia (Washington Redskins @ Philadelphia Eagles, Lincoln Financial Field, 1:00 P.M., ET)
Im pretty sure Morelli is also eligible for NE/BUF
No – he’s already worked two NE games, including one in NE.
OK guessing Early but here goes Anderson will Be in New York Because he wont be doing Houston Ron Winter lives 4 hours from Greenbay in Michigan so hes gonna get the Helm there and Corrente I think gets Houston based souly on them 3 Refs being only ones can do the game Scott green will finish in New England and these are only guesses but Its wat my young brain thinks 😀 Happy New Year to everyone
Coleman/Carey 1 of each can be found in Minnesota the other will Head to Atlanta Its a guess also
Triplette for KC/DEN? He worked the DEN/SD game in Week 12.
Technically, he was off in Week 12. As a fill-in, he doesn’t become ineligible for those teams.
lets hope my Packers lock up homefield advantage this week vs Bears in case we get Ron Winter next week! luckily he hasn’t done a GB game since week 2 last year vs Buffalo! haha
I hopeanderson gets the dal@giants game
i hope john parry gets the cowboys-giants game
Ron Winter is ineligible for Bal-Cin
Al Riveron/Pete Morelli/Gene Steratore are eligible and I believe it will be one of the three, hopefully Steratore
Winter IS eligible for BAL-CIN. The only game he worked for either of these teams this year was CIN @ BAL. This does not make him ineligible for the rematch @ CIN. Ed Hochuli worked both WAS-DAL games this year. I’d say unlikely Winter gets the assignment, but its not improbable. Please correct me if wrong though.
I hope it is either Morelli or Steratore for the Ravens- Cinn. game !!!
you’re correct. Boger also worked both battles of Ohio last year I believe. This is when we figured out that was not an exclusive rule
DAL @ NYG is the Sunday night game in week 17, a re-match of the Sunday night game in week 14. The winners make the playoffs, the losers watch the playoffs on TV.
has their always been a night game on week 17? I feel like in years past it was always games at 1 and 415
There was a time when there was a Week 17 Monday night game.
And sometimes it was a meaningless game. Now they make sure that the final game of the season (on Sunday night) means something.
Yes that is correct my fault Boger did work both Clev-Cin games last year and Winter has only worked one Cin game and one Bal game which was the head to head matchup obviously but unless he wants to get ran over again I suggest he gets a different game lol and I agree with David hopefully Steratore or Morelli more Gene
What happened to Mickey?
Nothing, he’s still around.
Coleman’s crew in Green Bay for week 17. Hope they know about the untieing of the shoestrings.
Source?
He didn’t say it was a guess…
If he said it was a guess, I wouldn’t have replied to him. He’s a first-time poster and I want to make sure the chart is accurate.
My source is a very reliable. Was I correct?
Yes, it’s been confirmed. Thank you very much!
TB @ ATL, PIT @ CLE, & BAL @ CIN moved to 4:15.
My ref source here in BAL has nothing for me so far on BAL-CIN, but I’m reading some good detective work from you guys so far. Stay tuned…
Can someone answer my question, does a referee’s crew live in the same vicinity and or city/town as said referee?
not at all. here’s an example:
Hochuli lives around Pheonix, AZ
Hittner lives around Kansas City area
Don Carey lives near San Diego I believe, while Adrian Hill lives in Maryland, last I checked (doesn’t he work for NASA?)
i dunno why that comment was submitted, but Craig Wrolstad works for Seattle University…
no clue about Torbert
Anderson has SNF this week.
http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4688827/officials-breakdown-walt-anderson
One of my predictions was wrong. 🙁
Yes , as I stated a few days ago he has not done a game in florida and atlanta in a long time
Actually, it’s Bill Leavy who is going to officiate the BUF @ NE game…in fact, one of my predictions was right! 🙂
Green is in ATL this week! haha
Everything is on the line for the Ravens this week, so I hope Professor Winter enjoys his NYE in Cincinnati.
Mike Carey in Minnesota..

Yep, we’re aware of Biggs for Bears assignments. Thank you!
Another one of my predictions was wrong. 🙁
Ron Winter has the call for the TITANS – Houston game
Per/ Titans
Thanks!
That means 4 crews the Titans will not see this (regular) season:
Cheffers (2nd straight year), Hochuli, Corrente, Green
3 Double-Ups: Carey, Parry, Morelli
Giants miss 4 crews: Cheffers, Coleman, Leavy, Parry
Double-up on 3: Morelli, Triplette, Winter
Why is that Steratore, Boger and Triplette never do Stiller games? I know Mean Gene lives in Washington, PA but still…these 3 guys seem to never get the Stillers. Triplette did the AFC playoff game between Pitt and Balt last year but never in the regular season it seems. WTF….Keep Corrente, and Coleman the hell away from Pittsburgh.
Steratore usually works about one Steelers game per season, on average.
There could be any number of different reasons why the other two officials generally don’t.
Walt Coleman will be in Green Bay for Detroit/Green Bay.
Thanks for the confirmation!
The officialest beat writer has Tony Corrente’s crew spending a lovely holiday weekend in the great city of Cincinnati. No word on the ref working with them.
If that is true, then it will be Tony himself doing the game !!! McAulay is off but did the Cinn. game last week ??? Preth what do you say about this ???
Ed Hochuli worked back-to-back Browns games in weeks 13 and 14, due to being a replacement.
Jeff Triplette worked back-to-back Chargers games in weeks 11 and 12, due to being a replacement.
In the same way, Terry McAulay could possibly be a replacement here.
Thanks, Scott.
if only one of us knew someone on Triplette’s crew, we’d finish this thing up.
wait, is Parry eligible for KC@DEN? On my chart he is, but I didn’t type him on the list you’ ve been narrowing down, Preth
Parry’s worked DEN twice already (weeks 3 & 9).
ah ok. i always forget about the 2 time rule. haha
Preth, thanks for the follow up on my question. Looking back, Boger and Triplette have not done a regular season Pittsburgh game since the 09′ season.
Hey Preth its confirmed. Carl Cheffers will be in Philadelphia for the Eagles Skins game.
And I found out that Boger will be in MIA on Sunday on the New York Jets website.
I’ve never known that information to show up on their website. May I have a link?
To clear up an earlier thread, my ref source tells me that Corrente WILL BE ON THE FIELD for BAL-CIN, which, of course, is great news! McAulay can relax, I guess… Corrente did the PIT-BAL game in Week 1…
Flip card says it is indeed Al Riveron who shall attempt to avoid beer bottles being tossed at him postgame in Cleveland and handle the Steelers at Browns contest.
This will be Riveron’s first ever regular season game in Cleveland
Yeah, and quite possibly his first EVER stillers game.
2011 preseason week #1;
2009 preseason week #1;
2008 Week 14 vs. DAL
Wow, that’s why I don’t recall it. Been forever and a day since a meaningful game. Thanks again Preth. We get stuck with Corrente, Winter, Morelli and Leavey quite a bit.
Two Morelli assignments last year, none this year. These things generally tend to even out over time. It’s quite rare to have officials work a team completely evenly.
Interestingly, Kansas City accomplished that feat this season. In 16 regular season games, they never repeated a single crew, so they’ll have had 16/17 crews exactly once.
I agree with you about Leavy, the Steelers have him twice just about every year. However, they generally only see Winter and Corrente once per season. With 17 crews, that’s on par with expectations.
the Steelers like Leavy 😉
Unless someone has mentioned this, but did I see Walt Anderson referee the Holiday Bowl on December 28th?
The white hat for that bowl was Matt Moore, of the SEC.
So glad to see Steratore working a Seahawks game. He’s my favorite ref, and we haven’t had him all year.
Steratore is a great ref and shows a ton of personality on the field. I love to see that but I’m sure his bosses frown upon it.
When Riveron was coaching Pop Warner football(135 lbs)division in Miami a few years back. He was a wild man towards the officials and also was ejected a few times. His attitude is still the same today when he attends officials clinic in Miami in the summer!
I’m so sad…the regular season is almost over already!!!
@Nina………….. Where are you???? I hope u get this message in your mail…. Hurry back!!!!
Becky
Just a quick question. Has Terry McCauly worked a game in Cleveland since the 2001 Bottle Gate game vs Jacksonville?
Sure. In fact, he worked this year’s Week 11 game vs. JAX.
My brother recommended I might like this web site. He was once totally right.
This put up truly made my day. You can not imagine just how
so much time I had spent for this info! Thank you!
