A quality reason to hate ESPN
http://www.footballzebras.com/2018/0...rules-analyst/

They literally hired Jeff Triplette to be a "rules analyst"

Quote:
Nearly six months off*his retirement, Jeff Triplette is slated to join ESPN as a rules analyst along with newcomers Joe Tessitore and Jason Witten in the*Monday Night Football*booth, according to officiating and network sources.*Football Zebras*has also learned that the NFL specifically steered ESPN to hire Triplette.*He will be replacing former referee Gerald Austin, who has served on the*MNF*team since 2012.

An ESPN spokesman declined to comment.

Triplette worked in the NFL for 22 seasons as both a back judge and referee and worked his final game,*the Titans-Chiefs Wild Card game, last season.

He worked 11 postseason games, including 6 Wild Card Playoffs, 4 Divisional Playoffs, as well as the 2007 AFC Conference Championship.*Triplette served as the alternate referee for Super Bowl XLI and was the referee for the 2010 Pro Bowl.

On the field, Triplette was not immune to controversy, even among casual fans. Notably, after a controversial replay decision by Triplette in a*2013 Bengals regular season game, he was*assigned to a Bengals postseason game, which thrust Dean Blandino, who was the vice president of officiating, into the replay booth to monitor the game and consult or intervene if necessary. This was seen as*a precursor the*eventual centralization of replay*at league headquarters in New York.

His final game was also not without controversy; his former boss*Mike Pereira reluctantly criticized the crew*for its performance in the game.

Triplette is the CEO of Arbiter Sports, an online portal for high school and college officiating coordinators that streamlines the assignment and payment of officials. He is a*retired*Army Reserve*colonel*and was awarded the*Bronze Star Medal*during the first Persian Gulf War. Triplette was also the*president of the NFL Referees’ Association, the officials union, from 2013 to 2017.

ESPN reports that Austin is joining his former*MNF*compatriot Jon Gruden, as*a consultant with the Oakland Raiders. Austin is expected to remain the officiating coordinator for Conference USA.

I'm of the belief that Adam Teicher only has his job at ESPN to report a deliberately negative spin on the Chiefs.

He wrote an article, today, about how they didn't do enough to fix the defense after losing DJ and Peters. He didn't bother mentioning Berry and Dee Ford returning...or that their injuries played a big part in the defense falling off last year. Didn't bother pointing out that both Fuller and Hitchens were higher rated players last season.

He was also the one responsible for reporting Mahomes single bad practice and creating a national buzz about it....he didn't bother emphasizing that they were testing out new plays to see what works.

Chiefs closed their practices to media this year..mainly because KC lost their beat writer and this tool would be the only outlet. They were correct because his one report was the aforementioned Mahomes bash.

If you analyze his writing style EVERYTHING has a negative caveat built in...no other team's reporter on ESPN does this.

Denver's beat writer is almost the exact opposite...optimistic even when they suck.

It's like NFL wants everyone in KC to expect the worst outcome....so they can pull off Triplette like horseshit and the fans are preconditioned to accept it.

**** over the Chiefs, get rewarded by the league. Worked for Pioli, who I will always believe was sent here to do exactly what he did, and now it's worked for Triplette.

Small market teams that attempt to challenge the order of things are bad.

Makes perfect sense when you think about it. There is no forward progress at ESPN.
