NFL refereeing has to become a full-time job. That will never happen, and for good reason. The NFL insists on using officials who are well-paid, highly-respected professionals in other walks of life -- because it makes them far less likely to fix games for gamblers.

because it makes them far less likely to fix games for gamblers. That makes sense. But that could be mitigated by allowing the other refs to override a bad call.

As opposed to fixing games for the networks, specifically NBC (widely believed to have turned the NBA into a fix-them-all league when they held the broadcast rights)?
