          why is Cheffers not eligible for DAL@NYG?

          and thanks for catching my location mistake…it is in fact SEA @ AZ, not AZ @ SEA

        BAL @ CIN – Riveron

      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.

    Al Riveron/Pete Morelli/Gene Steratore are eligible and I believe it will be one of the three, hopefully Steratore

    • Brian BAL Fan says

      December 25, 2011 at 6:57 pm

      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.

    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

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.

        Jeff Triplette worked back-to-back Chargers games in weeks 11 and 12, due to being a replacement.

    • Preth says

      December 28, 2011 at 10:48 pm

      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.

    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!
