        Per Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. While in Buffalo to cover the Minnesota Wild, he ran into Hochuli and his crew Sunday night after Hochuli worked the Bills game earlier in the day.

    Bill Leavy has not worked a Broncos’ game in nearly two years (since Week 11 of the 2011 season). Of the 17 active NFL referees, he is the only referee who has not worked a Broncos’ game within the past two seasons. He is one of seven referees who are eligible for DEN @ SD (the other six are Blakeman, Carey, Corrente, Parry, Steratore and Vinovich).

    WAS at MIN: Ed “Big Guns” Hochuli
    PHI at GB: Jerry ‘Boges’ Boger
    JAC at TEN: Waltie Coleman
    BUF at PIT: Billy the Vinster Vinovich
    OAK at NYG: Jeffy ‘Trips” Triplette
    STL at IND: Eugene Steratore
    SEA at ATL: Bill “Botox” Leavy
    CIN at BAL: Carl “Cheffs” Cheffers
    DET at CHI: Walt “Novocaine” Anderson
    CAR at SF: Scottie “Brownie” Green
    HOU at ARI: Clete “The Cletester” Blakeman
    DEN at SD: Ronnie Winter
    DAL at NO: Tony Corrente
    MIA at TB: Johnny Boy Parry

      Anderson has the Bears Monday night plus he is off in Week 10. Mark is reliable on what game his crew has weekly.

    Hi Harry,

    Those are almost the same predictions that I made. The only difference is I think The Cletester will be in Chicago for the Bears game and Novocaine Anderson will be in Arizona.

      Of course, Winter’s ineligible for that game, but Tony Corrente is (he did SD @ TEN back in Week 3).

      Now, speaking of DEN-SD, there’s a video I made with Britney Spears as a Broncos fan and Christina Aguilera as a Chargers fan…enjoy!

    What a terrible personal foul call by Jerry Boges crew. The Cletester had a good game. Can’t wait to see Novocaine Anderson in action tomorrow night!

    Harry, The Cletester? Where did you come up with that? We call him the Blakester. Get it straight or do not post on this board. And Walt Anderson is not known as Novocaine here. We call him Fluoride. Please show some respect.

      Leave Harry alone. He spends most of week trying to figure out which crew will be working which game. It is his passion. He puts his heart and soul into this. If he wants to call the Blakester the Cletester, then so be it. I personally know Novocaine Anderson and he just loves it when people call him Novocaine.

      Harry – do you think Botox Leavy got an extra injection for his trip to Miami??

    I can confirm from my sources that Brownie is, in fact, in SF this week. Also, Jeffy Trips has the Raiders-Giants game.

    Eddie, as to y0ur question, it’s up to the teams’ individual discretion. Some may not want certain info out there… As for the CIN-BAL game, my usually-impeccable source tells me it’s WALT COLEMAN, who hasn’t been in Baltimore since Christmas Eve, 2011, when the Ravens beat the Browns. Remember when the Ravens could beat the Browns?

      The Ravens don’t release the flip card until game day, Eddie. I just have a guy who lets me know who the ref is. Not sure what the deal is with other teams…

    HOLD IT: Triplette worked the SD-OAK game in Week 5, so that would make him ineligible for OAK @ NYG.

    Based on their performances on Sunday, the Vinovich and Green crews could use a week off. Green’s crew botched a couple of personal fouls and Vinovich reversed two calls via instant replay that were textbook examples of a lack of incontrovertible evidence that would warrant an overturn.

    Seven referees are eligible for the Miami @ Tampa Bay MNF game: Corrente, Green, McAulay, Morelli, Triplette, Vinovich and Winter. Of those seven, only McAulay and Triplette have yet to work on MNF.

    Triplette would be ineligible for the NE @ CAR MNF game in Week 11 (since he worked at CAR in Week 1), so he would be the likely choice for Miami @ Tampa Bay on MNF, Veterans’ Day.

    Would somebody please explain why the “down by contact” call was not reversed in the Bengals-Ravens game? Neither elbow or knee was down and the ball was on it’s way out.

    Not a good day for Coleman and his crew. They missed two blatant pass interference calls: one on each side so I guess it balanced out.

    I am new to the topic of ref assisgnments. Can someone explain the process? By reading the posts, I gather that assignments are decided on a weekly basis.

      November 12, 2013 at 5:18 pm

      The league does try its best to have as many crews work as many different teams as possible. In theory all of the crews are roughly the same caliber so any crew can work any game, but you do see that the league tries to assign certain Referees to games that they know can get a bit contentious

      There are certain rules with crew assignments in the regular season. Preseason and Postseason do not apply to any of them:
      1) No crew can work a team more than twice during the regular season
      2) If a crew works a team twice during a season, both cannot be home games (it is possible the league does not consider neutral sites as a home game for this purpose)
      3) No crew working a team twice can do so any more frequently than 5 weeks later (so a team seeing a crew in Week 10 for the first time cannot see them again until Week 15 or later)

      Beyond these guidelines the NFL has not had Walt Coleman work an Oakland Raiders game since the “Tuck Rule,” Buddy Horton (FJ82) cannot work a Cleveland Browns game as his brother, Ray, is their Defensive Coordinator, etc.

      The league also tries to make sure that each crew has as the same amount, as practicable, of primetime assignments. Eventually this is not all possible because the number of games does not match exactly to the number of crews and the advent of Flex Scheduling means that a crew assigned to work a SNF game suddenly does not and the league does not adjust future schedules to make up for that

    Thanks for the explanation. So an official realy doesn’t know where he will be from one week to the next……..that could make planning travel arrangements rather difficult. Are members of a crew ever assigned to work with a different crew? Are the people working the chains and down markers part of the officiating crew? Sorry for al the questions.

      November 12, 2013 at 8:16 pm

      Officials usually get their schedules a few weeks in advance. Crew members will work with different crews in the case of injury, travel issues, situations like Buddy Horton (or when his son, David, played LJ18 Byron Boston), etc.
