Standing up for mistakes
If there is a bad call, its a bad call. It happens, I think people have more respect for officials and conferences when they admit they made a mistake, rather than lieing or hiding from it. Sometimes being a man is harder than hiding from the truth. That doesn't meen you throw your officials under the bus, but admitting an error and learning from it, is ok.
I will be interested to see how the NFL handles the bad "judgement" call by the official in the Sea-Gb game. I sense they will hide from it, thus promoting the feeling of incompetence among the general public toward NFL officials. Which then reflects on how the general public feels about us as college and high school officials.
I know many on here don't think officials ever make a mistake, but we do. If I make a mistake, I will admit it.
