The stupidity of having a player report as eligible BEFORE THE GAME is probably the stupidest rule I've ever heard. That needs to be eliminated.

There was nothing wrong with the call in the Steelers game. It's a judgment call by the referee, who I personally agreed with.

MLB Umpires work 6-7 games per week, for all but 4 months of the year. They have to be full time. I don't see making NFL officials full time that big of an advantage. The truth is that the players are faster, stronger, and quicker than they have ever been. That makes it a difficult job. I think they are the best at what they do. THere's nobody soitting at home who could do the job any better.
