Frank Deford in Referee Magazine

[Bart Tyson]

Good point Mark. I don't think the press is interested in the officials point of view. They have access to many people who can explain the rule. i.e. Officialforum.com, Referee Mag. Many people can explain any situation in a game. This would only give the press an opportunity to catch an official saying something wrong. There is no such thing as a perfectly called game. Many opportunities to hammer officials and get them to say "yes i blew it". Then the press would be calling for penalties for the officials.
