Honestly, I wish the NFL had a similar rule to FIFA when it comes to the on-field officials. Make them retire at a certain age. You are right, Triplette looked like a man who did not want to be out there and he’s also well in his 60s (as is Corrente and Hochuli, despite his physique). This is another mark against the…

I liked the part in the first half of the game yesterday, when on a punt, a chiefs player hit a titan well out of bounds, and the side judge threw his flag, blew his whistle. ESPN was juuuuust about to go to commercial between possessions, and they waited it out to see what the flag was for.

If you want to know how fucked up the NFL is when it comes to officiating: these playoff games are given as rewards for having a good season. There are 10 playoff games plus the Super Bowl so 10 referees get selected for 10 different games. 7 get left home or are selected as alternates. Tripplette was one of those 10…

It’s remarkable that it’s not even really up for debate that Triplette is the worst referee in NFL history.

The year is young, but this may be “Reply of the year“...I hope the academy doesn’t forget about it in December.

Do they have a replacement yet? Because I’m available and I know all kinds of stuff about the football sport. For example you’ve got your hails mary, your fleaflickers, unnecessary jawing, illegal use of the hams, that gronkowski guy, etc.

How can the Chiefs be the Browns of the playoffs when Marvin Lewis and the Cincinnati Bengals exist?

Shank is a miserable piece of shit and I don’t know anyone in the New England area who disagrees. He actively tries to detract from the fans’ enjoyment of following the local teams, the Pats in particular. I understand it’s a troll job at its core, but the Globe considers him a star and it’s ridiculous.

The dude was so bad at his job he managed to blind a guy in one eye while calling a football game.

I’ll admit that it would’ve been interesting to see how Andy Reid still would’ve fucked up the game if that field goal never happened.

My guess is continue to hide them. He has just as much to lose if everyone finds out about his fetish of dressing up like a goat.

Jeff Triplette is not the reason the Chiefs lost yesterday, but good god did he give it the old “one for the gipper” try.

Jeff can take a routine blown call and Triplette

I wonder what he’ll do with those pictures of Roger Goodell fucking a goat that enabled him to keep a job for so many years.

Meanwhile, Phil Luckett is still trying to figure out how to properly call a coin flip.

God, I hope James Harrison wins it...

Honestly, you have no idea what you’re looking forward to. It won’t get rid of annoying elements of the fan base, and sustained mediocrity is the worst thing to sit through because it gives just enough hope but never pays off. You would be better off being really bad.

“Patriot of the Week” sounds like some fake MAGA-style award for school children.

Other than some idle speculation by local media, no one has previously reported anything close to the bit about why the Garoppolo trade happened. Beyond that, the piece sketches out details on things that people only knew about in a general sense beforehand, such as the weird split between Guerrero and the Patriots…

Watching the Patriots descend into mediocrity is going to be oh so sweet
