They are so well compensated they work full time jobs all year; they are not coming back for less. Joel Send a noteboard - 18/09/2012 08:49:49 PM
And the rest will be some much needed new blood.

We are getting that "much needed" new blood: That is precisely the problem. Someday you will learn paying minimum wage gets you minimum wage labor; hopefully you figure it out before your next house fire/burglary. Of course, NFL refs do serve no purpose so vital, so I am content for the market to set their wage, but it is doing so, and the price is rising weekly. The owners won the '87 players strike—ON PAPER; the scabs hurt the league brand so badly the owners will never repeat that error.

I have seen no difference in the quality of officiating over the past two weeks. Anonymous2000 - 18/09/2012 04:29:39 AM 473 Views
Agreed Praziquantel - 18/09/2012 04:42:12 AM 447 Views
You mean, if players decide to respect scabs? Dannymac - 19/09/2012 06:24:27 AM 465 Views
Depends on the game I guess Dark Knight - 18/09/2012 05:11:35 AM 446 Views
Whom would they rehire? Joel - 18/09/2012 06:14:36 AM 486 Views
By law, you can hire 50% back after busting the union..... Anonymous2000 - 18/09/2012 02:54:36 PM 482 Views
right.... "bust the union".... moondog - 18/09/2012 03:25:02 PM 501 Views

Then you haven't been watching the games. Dannymac - 19/09/2012 06:18:39 AM 471 Views
Agreed; even as a Denver fan I was disgusted they marked off the wrong yardage on that penalty. Joel - 18/09/2012 05:54:07 AM 387 Views
Exactly. 10 yards for a 5 yard penalty is inexcusable Dark Knight - 18/09/2012 03:57:05 PM 481 Views
I do not fault our D for last nights performance; they played outstandingly well. Joel - 18/09/2012 10:13:39 PM 507 Views
My favorite one was week 1 where the Seahawks got 4 timeouts. Jragghen - 18/09/2012 07:33:28 PM 495 Views

Another reason for the regular refs: They do not hero worship star players. Joel - 18/09/2012 09:11:10 PM 606 Views
they have no respect because the NFL is not really enforcing the "respect the refs" rules moondog - 18/09/2012 03:22:26 PM 460 Views
Yes, what is $189,000 a year, for 17 days' work and no accountability! Mere crumbs!!! Cannoli - 19/09/2012 12:12:40 AM 498 Views
