Again maybe I'm in the minority but if I heard a guy, or the league, just admit when the call got ****ed up I would move on easier. NHL does it sometimes. NFL does it once in a blue moon.
Like when the ump admitted he screwed up the white Sox no hitter a few years back. I went from blasting the guy to respecting him. Same thing when I'm coaching baseball. Ump tells me he missed a call, I don't have much left to say.
It's when they won't talk to each other or to the coach, when they won't explain themselves or know the rules that I get mad.
Like tripplett. I don't care that a ref screws up. But this guy is in a game he doesn't deserve to be in and seems to care little that he royally blew a call. He just rides into the sunset. If he said "damn I can't believe my last act as a ref included that call", I could actually let it go. Nope. Nothing from him or the league.

NFL refs just walk around looking everywhere but the sidelines on questionable calls. Sorry, didn't hear a word you said.
