Worst officials (unofficial survey)
ESPN's Page 2 ran a "State of Sports" survey, where fans answered 50 multiple choice questions about their sports preferences, etc. Obviously an unscientific survey, but here's one of the questions:

40) Which sport do you think has the worst officiating?

44.7% NBA
24.5% NFL
12.5% College basketball
10.8% College football
4.9% Major League Baseball
2.7% NHL

I think I read somewhere that polls are a waste of bandwidth.

Thanks for confirming.

Actually, I think it's soccer. People leave soccer games in ambulances.

Just to be fair, perhaps I should change "worst" to "least knowledgeable about rules" and change "fans" to "coaches"?

I think the darts guy gets his calls 100% correct.

You never hear him say "one hundred and twenty" when it really was "one hundred and eighty".

The NBA has a had a rash of negative publicity with their officials lately.
The NFL is the most watched.

The results are hereby explained.

I think M&M is full of crap, and polls are great.

10.8% College football

From the games that I see, these guys seem to struggle the most.

No kidding. I'm pretty critical of NFL referees (I think that's more the NFL itself than the referees to be honest), but college football is worse.
