I would like to see Mike Carey. He's my personal favorite to watch and it doesn't hurt that he's a local. ;-)
I'm surprised that so many on this forum buy in to the belief that they call playoff games differently in the NFL than regular season games.
Mike Pereira made a comment last week that they absolutely *don't* ask officials to call the playoffs any differently. He attributes any difference in the number of flags to the fact that the best, most disciplined teams are the ones playing in those games and the best crews are the ones officiating them. Whether he was speaking the truth or saying that for the cameras I guess is up to you. I have no proof either way but that reasoning makes more sense to me.
It doesn't surprise me that commentators would claim the officiating is different and that the general public would believe that but I am really shocked at the number of officials on this forum who buy in to it.
I feel like I have to ask the obvious question... Do you (or would you) call YOUR championship games differently? Do the leagues or associations ask you to call things differently?
