Hey at least he won't get injured in the game. Glad he wasn't a seriously hurt and doesn't appear to be at fault.

glad his nose....seems to be clean on this

Well....talented physically does not necessarily equate to talented mentally..

The replacement refs weren't that bad, compared to the "regular refs". Until the NFL hires and trains professional refs (not the part timers they've always used), way too many bad calls most games are going to be exposed by the networks 100 on-field cameras and HD TV.

If those had been replacement refs, the officiating would have been called what it was. Pathetic.

The replacement refs were a joke and couldn't control a game, remember the Rams game? Or how about the Packers/Seahawks debacle? I mean come on its not even worth comparing. The regular refs are far from perfect but they are far superior to the replacements.

I can agree the replacement refs were slightly worse, but both groups are horrible IMO. Not that I could do any better myself. But for as much money as we devote to the game, including the costs paid to televise in ever greater detail at every angle possible in high def, why can't the NFL afford to pay refs like professionals?

edit: What gets me about the Packer/Seahawk game: it was the missed offensive pass interference, not the possession rule that everybody focused on, that was the wrong decision, right?

PI never gets called on hail marys in the end zone, it's practically an unwritten rule among refs

Sounds like a normal night in the city of Philadelphia.

McCoy grew up in Harrisburg, the "other" dumpster of the Commonwealth of PA, so none of this classiness shocks me.
