and their replay officials can be even worse

BlueK

That's hard for me to understand. Why would they do this? But I have to admit

Tricky

9/23/14 12:34pm

The Pac has had several boneheaded calls or no calls that have impacted games

Refs aspire to be in the NFL, they aren't going to ruin their chances

zuxvon

Maybe they get fired for not making the right calls for the right teams.
