I'm going to repeat myself, because people keep bringing this up. There's no way that's an accurate number. Either the evaluation method was flawed, or the evaluators wanted to make a point and skewed the reviewable plays.

There's no way that even ONE official on each crew missed 32% of his calls in ONE game. So it's inconceivable that 100 of the best officials in the country ALL missed a full third of their calls over the course of 64 games.

I'm nowhere near one of the best 100 officials in the country -- nowhere near -- and I haven't missed 32% of my calls in a game (let alone over the course of 64 games) since I was working 5th grade games.

Until I see every call they charted and see which ones they charted as incorrect, I consider this "study" to be completely non-credible.
