I will agree about the NFL Officials.

I will have to say this, NFL Officials get it right much of the time. But the nature of the game is different than the other sports. Remember they have 7 officials helping each other out. Many times they do not make a call independent of another officials. Unlike the other sports.

I really do not think this is fair to really rank any of this also. I realize that this if for fun sake, but each sport is entirely different. I do not understand most NHL rules and applications and do not have a clue what is a good call or what is a bad one. NHL has rules or penalties like "Interference" and they can call this almost anywhere on the ice. I do not understand why they call it when they do or why they do not call it, but I am sure I am like most fans that do not have a clue, but at least I am smart enough to keep my mouth shut or even complain about bad calls.

I only say this because Hockey is a sport that most of us do not have a clue about. I like the sport and watch the playoffs, but I do not understand many of the rules and what NHL officials are looking for.

Peace
