This is always a band-wagon cry after "controversial" calls. For once I'd like someone to take that statement and explain to me what they're actually proposing.
I don't think the mistakes are because officials aren't full time. And there's already more than a "certain amount of schooling". What MORE can they be doing?
Officiating mistakes are going to happen. You're going to tell me that MLB umpires are always correct? Officials in the other sports are full-time primarily because of the amount of games played.
I think the technology of replay from umpteen angles makes us notice things that were never considered in years past. There is no way the officials can sell a close call like we would do in a high school game.
Oh- and the running into the kicker call was textbook by the rules. And Cowher knows it.
