NFL is even pissing off the refs...

again.

The first call was Washington defensive lineman Chris Baker's cheap shot on Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles in Week 3, which drew a 15-yard penalty and ejection. NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent strangely said Baker did nothing wrong and wouldn't be fined, even though he clearly broke the NFL rule on blindsiding a player away from the play.

The NFL was quick to say a 15-yard penalty on Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah, who slid to the ground after a touchdown and went into Muslim prayer, was incorrectly called. The league didn't even wait 12 hours after the call was made on Monday night to say it was wrong.

The NFLRA said that the league is saying one thing and doing another.

“In the last two weeks, two penalties that were called in games that drew national attention were publicly announced to be in error by the League office, however the Officiating Department later graded the calls as correct. This has caused confusion for NFL officials as to what the League does and doesn’t want called,” the Referees Association said in a statement, via Pro Football Talk.

I read the rulebook and even I agree the Baker hit was a cheap shot and against what the rules state.

I'm not usually one of those "FIRE GOODELL types"....

 

 

But please... please... get rid of him. 

 

This league is crumbling under him.

 

The dude should be allowed to pray. The Golden Calf of Bristol was allowed to. The blindside block should've been penalized. The refs were actually right in those cases.

people love high scoring but my goodness make it fair, let's bring back bump and run or something.I would also like to make it unsportmanlike to call for pass interference . Every incomplete pass play some receiver is running around with their hand up in the air.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
