First of all, I agree with everyone else that a pro official has plenty of incentive for making the correct calls (playoffs, being around next year, etc.)--not that we all don't have that incentive, even if we have no chance of working next year's Super Bowl.

The other thing, though, is how are fines going to make split second calls better? Obviously, I'm not in a position where I are going to be (ever, hopefully) fined for a "bad" call. I don't understand how a monetary reason will make my vision any better. If I do happen to miss a call (which has occurred), there are plenty of negative things which might happen, and I don't need a possible fine to make me more gun-shy.
