      Does anyone have knowledge as to who will be the referee for Green Bay at Chicago? It sure as hell better not be Clete Blakeman. He sucked last year for the game in Chicago.

      It was terrible to watch. Totally lost control of the game early on. I would never put up with that shit. One time I was doing Giants/Bears and Simms took at hit from Gary Fencik and didn’t like it and went after him. I pulled Simms aside after the play and told him I’d break a 2 x 4 over his ass if he pulled another stunt like that. That’s how we rolled back then. These officials are pussies.

      I don’t think so. Per the aforementioned Titans’ game release, Tony Steratore is listed as the back judge. Dale Shaw is the normal back judge on Pete Morelli’s crew. Whether or not Morelli’s crew is off this week has not yet been determined.

    Is the NFL fixed? Or, maybe that should read, “Can the NFL BE FIXED?’

    The officiating this year has been absolutely horrid, especially during Rams’ games. The Rams were lucky to pull out a single win because they are playing against the team on the field AND the officials. No wonder they have lost 2 of 3.

    If the NFL doesn’t clean up the officiating soon — maybe by hiring FULL-TIME officials? — How much money does the NFL need anyway? — then I will no longer live for NFL games.

    It started with Spygate and all of that cheating, progressed to an amazing number of ticky-tacky rules changes, and has reached the point of the officials very obviously favoring one of the teams in every single contest that I’ve seen during the past year. This is absurd. It is supposed to be a level playing field, but in the NFL it is anything but level.

    If officials were full-time employees — and if the head of officiating wasn’t seen chasing ‘hos’ in Jerry’s bus — maybe I could believe the NFL was presenting ‘games’ and not ‘entertainment.’ If officials were full-time employees, well, then there would be time each week to rehash each game and an opportunity to tell officials when they got it right and, more often than not, when they got it wrong.

    I mean, how many times did the Cowboys hold the Rams’ defensive line? JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME! And yet the Cowboys had 15 total penalty yards vs. the Rams’ 119 penalty yards.

    Yeah, right. And this is somehow considered to be ‘FAIR?’

      You said it all, K. Etling!

      The whole game was fixed against the Rams — Just like Super Bowl 36. Even the Umpire admitted he didn’t know why the last holding call was made against the Rams. Rams: 119 penalty yards, Dallas: 15 penalty yards. Complete B.S. This isn’t the only game Clete Blackman has gotten into hot water, he’s been involved in controversy in the past. He might as well be Ed Hochuli 2.0.

      Cowboys fans are sent me emails and IMs. EVEN THEY know they got the game handed to them last Sunday.
