If it wasn't true,it could almost be funny. I bet they wern't laughing at NFL's Zebra Central though....

And certainly nothing against Tom White personally, but when you realize he was an R in the USFL(!!),it shows you how long he has been around.Demoting Rs to Line Judge seems to be the NFL's way of saying, "gee,youve worked REALLY hard for us for a long time,and we think you ..ahem...deserve...ahem.. a less demanding position." nudge,nudge...wink,wink...
You are referencing a "bashing board", to link us to a conversation where fans are blasting officials! You could find fans bashing each crew of NFL officials each and every week of the season. We are officials and shouldn't be jumping on the bandwagon of bashers! The problem with most fans and announcers of NFL games is they do not understand all the rules, and some of them are so unique to the NFL and seem strange so the fans and announcers do not understand them. There are many rules and guidelines of what can and can not be replayed. They often have to get together and discuss what another official called to make sure they get it right. The rare times they do make a mistake you here it from the NFL league of officials, and they will make it public when a major mistake is made. So other than that, get off their backs. They are the best in the world, and make fewer mistakes in a year then most of us probably make in a couple of games. Don't get sucked in to fanbashing! I am now off my soapbox.
