REAL Refs Coming Back! Possibly. Agreement not Made yet.

[Inimicus]

I just hope they have to work under the exact same level of scrutiny.

Not to say the current refs have been peerless, but I hope that the "regular" guys have to live up to the very high bar that's been set in their absence.

There just went your chance to win this game!

[The Saltman]

fixed.

[Chaos]

It is going to be funny when these guys come back and the world feels as if games will now be called flawlessly and perfectly...until the first blown call on the first Sunday they are back in action.

These guys used to fade into anonymity - now they will be under the microscope like never before. "Hey, you're no better than the pop warner division two guy!" will be heard early and often.

I hope they are happy with their new deal.

And as soon as they blow a call they'll be hated just like the good ol days.

Yes, the wonderful reporting of Chris Mortesen same guy who said Cam was seeing a "mind coach."

I missed Ed Hochuli's biceps.

Labor always wins in the long run because it's what makes America work.

[Proudiddy]

I look forward to the games once they've been back about 3 weeks or so.

I'm telling you, a lot of people are going to be disappointed and/or pissed for the first few weeks their back, because they're going to make calls that these "replacement refs" have been ignoring - illegal contact and pass interference namely. Players are going to have to adjust to the real refs again, and it's going to be ugly for a bit.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

And they'll suck too like they always do

[Strawman]

So if the "real" refs come back, does that mean the Pats, Saints, Steelers, and Packers miraculously start winning again? If so, I'll keep the scabs.

I know everyone likes to be cynical thinking it will be the same bullshit anyways, but I, for one, would much rather bitch about refs that I know have experience, are qualified for the job, and whom I'm already familiar with. When we get a certain referee crew assigned to a game, I would appreciate knowing what I'm in for, or at least have somewhat of an idea based on experience watching said crew. Feels good, man.

People bitch no matter what.

"These refs are ruining the sanctity of the game!"

"Oh, the real refs are going to suck just as bad anyways!"
