well...wanna learn more about NFL

Steve Young analyzed this perfectly after the last MNF game. The NFL knows they have a perfectly inelastic product and a monopoly on football. People will watch no matter what, and they have propagated this fallacy that having replacement refs does not matter because the regular officials miss calls too.

Keep in mind that the regular officials have not made this process any easier (they are part-time employees and have other jobs to support themselves during this lockout). They are demanding more than it has been made to look like by the media; however, that being said, the NFL is a billion dollar annual industry. And given how obsessed Goodell claims to be with the integrity of the game, you would think he would be looking for a way to compromise, but with the player hold out over renewing the CBA last year, and with his authority being challenged on the whole Vilma/Saints issue, Roger Goodell is taking this opportunity to re-assert his power. This is why the NFL will not budge; they are saying, "We don't need you, you need us, so take what were giving you or GTFO!"

Pretty much it, in a nutshell !!!

Shout out to Monday night football fans

I hate how the refs are the headline for so many of the games. Those old officials weren't perfect but they knew what they were doing. These refs are sometimes lost and take forever to make a simple decision. They dont have any respect which is the main problem. Once the old officials come back, people will realize that they miss calls as well and call a lot of the ticky tack stuff that people said was the No Fun League. Now when there are big hits and no flags, theres talk about how the nfl isnt safe now. So many people just forget what they were complaining about in the past...

There has always been bad calls in any sport. We can live with that. Problem is with these refs, is that they are losing control of the game. Players treat them like substitute teachers. Sooner or later they will lose total control of a game and somebody will seriously hurt. Only then will the Owners(who control this whole situation) will bow down and finally address the issue.
