But being new to this forum does make your opinion less "respected". Respect is earned, not something that is freely awarded. The only thing we have heard from you is that the officiating was terrible. I don't think I would feel comfortable walking into the teacher's lounge as the newbie and telling the teacher's how terrible other teachers are.
This is why you are a poor excuse for an official. You have an idea and are unwilling to hear any other sides. You defend another official's work because everybody else in the world is coming down on them, and you get defensive.
Many of us who frequent this forum are always willing to listen to the other side of a discussion. However, this isn't a discussion of a call. This is simply someone with no record here submitting an overly general opinion. If we come across as defensive, it is because we have yet to hear a rational argument as to why the officiating was sub-par.
Just because people disagree with your opinion doesn't make them terrible officials.
The Super Bowl was officiated poorly. You think it wasn't because you're a poor excuse for an official.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion. My opinion is that the Super Bowl was well officiated. But just because people don't agree with you doesn't mean we are poor officials or that we are somehow circling the wagons. You have yet to say
WHY you feel the game was poorly officiated. You really can't bring up the controversial fouls because they were in fact controversial. In order to have controversey, people must have polarizing views of the call(s). In other words, there are an equal number of people who felt the calls were correct. The argument that I'm right because I'm on a certain side of the issue isn't very compelling.
The NFL (and truly the ones whose opinion really matters) agrees with us. If the game were that poorly officiated, you can bet the NFL would have said something about it. They have a history of admitting when mistakes are made in games.
I refuse to play in the mud anymore. I doubt anything anyone says here will sway your opinion.
