I no longer watch or care about football games.
I haven’t watched in over 2 years.
What’s this ‘football’ you speak of?
Methinks thine team hath been scourged by the fire of unfavorable decisions.
I could get behind the press conference idea, but there is no reason whatsoever to provide their home address. What were you thinking to suggest that?

There is one way the refs can cheat, admit they made a “mistake” and no one can do anything about it.
The inadvertent whistle.
Well this subject may stir the pot.
Are we saying there is evidence the referees are trying to tip the balance in close plays, to favor certain players or teams, and hurt others?
I don’t watch enough sports to have ever seen such evidence but waiting to see what people say.
I think the names, addresses, and phone numbers of every official should be posted on the stadium scoreboard and your home TV screen.
Your pissed about some game. Why don’t you lead by example and post you Name, Phone Number & home address in your reply. Then you can expect an equal response from a ref, maybe...
The only time I recall an official has admitted he screwed a call was during game 3 of the 1992 world series. A potential triple play was called wrongly as replays showed it so. The ump later viewed the tape post game and admitted he got the call wrong. It didn’t change the outcome of the game or series but it would have been only the second triple play in world series history. You can view the play here.

Not much is done though because I see the same ones every week.
Give `em their own TV show. Call it “What Happened”
Do you mean high school football? Because the college system and the National Felons League is just theater anyway.
All sports franchises are suppose to check on and police their refs and umpires much like the legal system and the governments are suppose to check on and maintain a certain standard with judges.
They don’t always do a good job as ref, umpire, or judge and those who are suppose to keep them honest and above board don’t always do their jobs either. Welcome to the human condition.
Referees and their explanations a big part of why I haven’t watched for almost 3 years.
I think they should dress like rodeo clowns, put a little color into the proceedings.
You still worried about a stupid game being played by thugs? There is no hope for some I guess. Really most of us here could careless anymore what happens in the world of professional football. So why not take these kinds of discussions to a sports chat board and quit wasting broadband space here.
you’re bitching because the brass fittings on the titanic are dull. it’s all going down, man.
dumb ass officials are the least problematic in that thug-infested spectacle. there was a fistfight on the field today over jewelry. that’s a problem. griping about the officiating is just missing the point.
How about doing away with refs and let the thugs kill each other.
I am sure most refs call it straight. I suspect that if a coach or player rubs them the wrong way, they might be tempted to call a really close one the way he wants it to be.
I have seen some pretty bad mistakes but only twice have I seen a ref blatantly cheat. Oddly both were in the same game and so obvious that some action should or maybe was taken against him.
It was Alabama vs. Penn State and both calls were by a ref with ties to Penn State. They made the difference in a national championship game so they had a permanent impact.
Once he ruled an Alabama TD reception out of bounds when he fell maybe six feet in bounds. He did just the opposite on another play. Now six feet may not sound like much but it is actually easy to tell if a player is six inches out or in. They usually even get it right when it is only an inch or so.
