... you hardly - if ever - hear the announcers in NFL games question the refs call. The NFL announcers are a bunch of cowardly yes-men.

Interesting take. I am always amazed at how observant the announcers are, often calling things as soon as the flag goes down, usually before the refs call the call. I would get a headache trying to learn the endless rules, old and new. And the networks have walking, talking encyclopedia type observers who review the calls and voice their professional judgement. By and large, really good work, IMHO.
