Not reported, but which 30 seconds of research would reveal: The bats have been part of the Panthers pregame rituals for a large part of the season. For whatever reason.

90 percent of the officiating crews in the league should be suspended.

Yeah, I don’t buy it either, but mostly because he plays in NYC.

I have no idea what the first line means, unless you’re agreeing with me. No, most of them won’t agree to become full time. I don’t think you’d have to hire a few new ones, I think you’d have to hire a lot of new ones. The money some of these guys are making in RL dwarfs what they make in the NFL.

Well, currently some of them make as much as $170,000. 16 games a week times, what 6 officials a game? That would come to (conservatively) around $15 million. Not including the playoffs or preseason. And not accounting for having to pay them MORE because the majority of them have lucrative second careers that provide…

It would also likely mean having to hire an entire new staff of refs, since virtually all of these guys have lucrative other careers.

Dean Blandino, the man who’s never officiated a football game at any level anywhere, ever in his life. What could possibly go wrong??

Not without an arm transplant.

I’m sure you meant that to read “The Corpse of Peyton Manning is Coming Back Soon”.

See, I love this. It’s so typical. The idiot media, without any justification, picks some scrub team as their new darling, and then when the predictable happens, the coach is gone. Not that Pagano is a good coach. He’s a horrible coach. But he’s no worse at his job than any of the idiots who picked the Colts to be…

It would be really great if a meteorite could come along and do for the Kardashians what it did for the dinosaurs.

Also pink breasts!

No. You aren’t seeing right. Maybe you should use more than a ‘glance’.

I doubt it. They also want him to ‘brake his leg’.

Wow!

Great. Doesn’t make you right. Frankly, anyone who swallows the NFL company line on ANYTHING at this point is bordering on being an idiot anyway.

No, but listening to him continually rationalizing blatant errors does.

This.

Right. This from the guy that’s never officiated a football game at any level in his life. Leave it to the NFL to decide HE was the guy to run the officials.

Even Mike Carey? Not sure if serious.
