They are so well compensated they work full time jobs all year; they are not coming back for less. Joel Send a noteboard - 18/09/2012 08:49:49 PM
And the rest will be some much needed new blood.

We are getting that "much needed" new blood: That is precisely the problem. Someday you will learn paying minimum wage gets you minimum wage labor; hopefully you figure it out before your next house fire/burglary. Of course, NFL refs do serve no purpose so vital, so I am content for the market to set their wage, but it is doing so, and the price is rising weekly. The owners won the '87 players strike—ON PAPER; the scabs hurt the league brand so badly the owners will never repeat that error.

Seriously, NFL owners. Pay the refs. - 18/09/2012 03:52:25 AM 538 Views
I have seen no difference in the quality of officiating over the past two weeks. - 18/09/2012 04:29:39 AM 440 Views
Agreed - 18/09/2012 04:42:12 AM 418 Views
You mean, if players decide to respect scabs? - 19/09/2012 06:24:27 AM 427 Views
Depends on the game I guess - 18/09/2012 05:11:35 AM 415 Views
Whom would they rehire? - 18/09/2012 06:14:36 AM 455 Views
By law, you can hire 50% back after busting the union..... - 18/09/2012 02:54:36 PM 449 Views
right.... "bust the union".... - 18/09/2012 03:25:02 PM 472 Views

Then you haven't been watching the games. - 19/09/2012 06:18:39 AM 440 Views
Agreed; even as a Denver fan I was disgusted they marked off the wrong yardage on that penalty. - 18/09/2012 05:54:07 AM 356 Views
Exactly. 10 yards for a 5 yard penalty is inexcusable - 18/09/2012 03:57:05 PM 448 Views
My favorite one was week 1 where the Seahawks got 4 timeouts. - 18/09/2012 07:33:28 PM 457 Views
