"The City" of Green Bay doesn't own the Packers. "The People" of Green Bay, and other cities own the Packers.

Correct. I was too mad to correctly articulate the point.

Me too, Erik. Me too.

Also, it's interesting that this whole thing started as a dispute between NFL owners and the refs. And the team that got bent over and berked, with a handful of aquarium gravel, is a publicly owned team. :(

So when the pro refs come back will people stop complaining about bad calls?

Actually watch a game and you will see the difference. Of course there are always bad calls, thats why there are challenges and reviews. It's very rare that a bad call is not fixed during a challenge or review. Last night, there was no way that should not have been called an interception after the review.

None of them want their season screwed because of calls like that. Its not the money that the NFL is losing that will change this, it's the guys running the teams wanting titles.

not all owners care about titles

Even my Seahawks buddies were going WTF? at the calls. That last "play" was just, I mean, wow, there's not even words. Touchback?

FTFY

this is not the first time this season the refs have taken an awkwardly long amount of time to review something that, from my perspective, should take less than a minute or two to come to a conclusion.

Those two were definitely the best I have seen.

In reply to failboat:

No doubt. After the play itself, they had no control of what was going on.

Oh man, that is classic!

This one had me laughing hard

I have nothing to add except this just appeared on google news and I giggled.

A handful of the scab refs who have marred the NFL season with a series of blown calls are washouts from the Lingerie Football League, the underwear league said. The bra-and-panty league said at least one crew of refs now working NFL games couldn't hack it on their girly gridiron and were fired.

roflroflroflrofl

"You'd have to be a real boob to not be abreast of the LFL rules to the point they call you a bust," one Deadspin commenter wrote.

Am I the only one that cares about the blown off pass interference call more than the touchdown/interception? I (as well as everyone who has a TV) has seen this a million times, I can see why they ruled it a touchdown, but the play should have been negated by the penalty anyway.

Point is as already stated, the refs need to control their game and not let the players or coaches give them lip. If they want respect they need to start earning it on the field.
