Bad News for NFL fans
Just reported on ESPN that the replacements refs will be working until Week 3 because there is no deal in place for the regular refs
This is horrible news. DAMM

I don't think it's that big of a deal. The regular refs wern't doing that great of a job in the first place. |

Not really! I think some trained monkeys could do just as good of a job, as the regular refs. That being said I think the replacements will do just fine. It’s going to make very little to no difference once so ever. |

Not any worse than a regular referee, which is obviously my point. They might actually do a better job. |

How can they do a better job if they are already messing up in preseason? |

It doesn't matter who is wearing the zebra suit, they are all going to mess up. What have the replacements messed up on? |

I'm sure it hasn't been that bad. It's just a over dramatization. And I see those same things when the regular refs are making the calls. They are terrible at making calls. I don't know how many times. I have seen refs affect games. But still for the most part it's not that bad. I will see if I notice a difference. But honestly big deal lol I could see if we we're talking replacement players or something. |

If this is the worst news for the NFL, then the NFL is in great shape.
At least you have football. No labor dispute disrupted the actual game. |

I don't really care. We get screwed by the refs no matter who is out there. I'm sure they'll get better as the weeks go by.
