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.

Those rule "experts" are annoying. They always defend the refs.

The fact that "rules expert" is a legitimate role in NFL broadcasts tells you all you need to know about the state of the league.

Along with the fact that the "rules expert" knows less about the rules than the average chiefsplanet member.

I would have to call in and compliment him with his ability to run up and down the field so effortlessly with his head up his ass.

In all seriousness, why Jeff f*****g Triplette? He was widely considered to be one of the worst referees even before the forward progress gaffe. There have to be some competent retired referees who could've done this.
