An interesting NFL comment...

I think the NFL is who the original poster was criticizing, not the individual official.

He was saying, and some may disagree, that the league office is the one not letting the officials make the judgement call. They are making the call on Tuesday and down grading the game officials since they don't have the luxury of super-slo-mo during the game.

This at the cost of game officials not knowing what is a ticky-tack foul and what is not, due to league changes from week to week. So game officials call games tighter than they would if the league was not breathing down their neck.
