Was talking with my lady last night about this. My primary point was; if the NFL is going to take buckets and buckets of money from casinos & gambling sites, allow the Bet MGM Grands and Draft Kings of the world to advertise during games and dedicate time on pre-game shows to talking about betting on the games, you better
goddamn be sure that your refs are spotless and consistent every game and every week.
The NFL demands that players and coaches be available to the press, how about doing the same thing for the refs? Make Cheffers and his crew sit at a podium, take questions and defend their calls and explain why they made a certain call at a certain time.
Players and coaches are not allowed to speak about the refs. It's like they are the Lord Voldemort of the NFL, we do not speak their names. The inconsistent nature of some calls by these officiating crews begs the question; why is the NFL so protective of the refs?
As Abe Lemons once said; "Y
ou can say something to popes, kings and presidents, but you can't talk to officials. In the next war they ought to give everyone a whistle."
