The umpire in the Pro Bowl game, Jim Quirk, is retiring after this season. Nice going away gift, a trip to Hawaii. Good for him.

As a side point, has an official ever had to be replaced during an NFL game (injury, illness, etc.)? Just curious |
Quote:
In the AFC final, the HL was replaced near halftime: Carl Johnson replaced Ed Camp (HL) towards the end of the 1st half and remained in for the remainder of the game. Morelli scrambled to the opposite sideline to notify Johnson that Camp was apparently ill/injured after the Ravens touchdown. Immediately after the extra point, Camp gingerly walked off the field and Johnson replaced him. This crew on a very quick turn around without missing a blink. Johnson jumped right in and the game continued smoothly. |
I can't see as needing more than 2 or possibly 3 alternates in any game. One ready to take over for the R, one possibly for the U, and the other for the wings and deep officials.

What I find interesting is that the responsibilities of the FJ and SJ are virtually identical. I can't imagine what one would do that the other wouldn't, aside some once-a-game procedural differences.
If the second-highest rated FJ graded better than the highest graded SJ, why not use two FJs as the deep wings? |

That's good news Bob. If the NFL guys are anything like me, the higher level they work, the more they don't want to leave unvoluntarily.

As usual, the NFL referees are terrible in the Super Bowl. The defensive holding on the Cardinals was flat terrible just now.
The personal foul for roughing the QB against Arizona that gave Pittsburgh the first down was horrible. The personal foul for roughing the holder was a joke on the field goal. They missed an obvious block in the back against Pittsburgh on the 100 yard return at the end of the first half. It was the same way the last time the Steelers were in the Super Bowl. |
