Rank the refs

[ChuckElias]

I recently read a column stating that the NBA has the worst pool of officials among the four major sports leagues. This guy has no idea what he's talking about, but it got me to thinking about comparing the officials of the different leagues. If you have thoughts, and especially if you ref more than one of the "major" sports, maybe you could list how you would rank the officials in each of the leagues, from best to worst.

Without giving it a whole lot of thought, my preliminary ranking would go as follows:

1) NFL - best overall
2) NBA
3) MLB
4) NHL - worst overall
