Back Judge Down! Pitt/Minn

[HossHumard]

Am I the only one that thinks # 83 for the Vikings deserves a big fat fine for mowing over the Back Judge in that k/o return yesterday?

He was well away from the play, there was no block to be made, the player seemed to have a good vision of the play and made no effort to avoid the poor official.

Not only that, it looked to me like the player gave the official a "get the heck out of my way shiver" on the way past.

As an umpire, I am well aware that contact between players and officials is sometimes unavoidable...but that one looked COMPLETELY avoidable IMHO.
