I think you're letting your bias against football officials cloud your judgment. As a fellow official, I think it is pretty sad you are not even willing to give these guys the benefit of the doubt.
How would you feel if we started slamming basketball officials in the basketball forum the way you do football officials?
There's a reason we come across as defensive with you, and that's because we put up with enough bull sh#% from ignorant fans and coaches, we don't need to put up with it from fellow officials!
Your tirades are tired. Why don't you pick up a flag and whistle if you think you can do so much better than every other football official you've seen work?

I agree with you, they stayed on top of a chippy game and did a good job overall. I don't necessarily agree with some of the calls but I had the luxury of sitting in my easy chair.
The umpire caught some good holds by the line, especially a couple of take downs by offensive linemen that were beat.

Just my, "I'm a baseball umpire," opinion.

Ah bull, you're a respected official. Thanks for chiming in.
