You're welcome, but I didn't know I was necessarily agreeing with you though. The refs are doing an awful job (including the ref in the booth who didn't call for a review of that lateral).
I guess it's a question of semantics: is the man in the booth a ref or an official?
He's part of the officiating crew, and he blew it big time.
he's an official that was at one point an on the field guy who has either retired or been brought back for whatever reason.....
