And I agree--they ought to pay the friggin refs and make them work all offseason to hone there skills. Why not? Are you telling me the NFL doesn't have the money to do so???

I actually like the idea of making the replay sort of similar to what college football has. The refs stand there with the head set on and wait for the booth up stairs to say good or no good. But we should still keep it the same in regards to the coaches being able to challenge the plays. That way, it keeps the refs out of the decision making regarding reviews. They are emotionally (even though they are not suppose to be) in the game. They are running around and no matter what the replay shows, they feel obligated at times to keep the play as it was originally called.
