I saw the commercial and it sure didn't help the reputation for officials. Neither did the first few minutes of the Packer game. In the first six minutes, two calls were overruled. I sure could see the ref's first game as a ref in the NFL had its effects on the crew. I certainly don't blame them; I know I would have been as nervous as anyone. After that start, though, they settled in and did a nice job. Funny, but now I watch games on Sunday to see the officials, not only the teams.
