I thought that was because it was owners against players with Roger and the owners against Demaurice smith and the players union (Foxworth, Saturday, etc)

I think refs are a different case, because they're a whole other union and aren't owned by the players or the owners, their owned by the league office which is roger.

I read a peter king column a few weeks back talking about this and peter said something along the lines of "...if the NFL won't budge on signing these referees then an upset owner like Jerry Jones may just go ahead and say 'here roger let me just cut them a check and get this over with', because he doesn't want his team losing over these officials..."

Why do people want to keep blaming Goodell? This is the owners doing, NOT Roger Goodell. They simply care more about profits than the game of football. Always have, always will.

Somewhere there's a gang of NFL referees at a sports bar watching MNF and popping the cork on a bottle of Dom Perignon cuz they are about to get paid.

Watching Rogers post game interview. Man, he is doing everything he can to avoid losing it. The reporters keep asking him stupid "Does this make you feel bad?" questions.

The frustration level is going through the roof with players,coachs,and fans,it's just a matter of time till someone does something stupid.

$60,000 per club is what's holding up the real refs from being back. Let that sink in...lol

Yeah true but is their any comfort in the entire world knowing you really won? Lol.

Since boycotting is not an option, coaches should trot out their 2nd and 3rd stringers next week. Let see how the ratings fare with a whole bunch of backups playing.

If the refs make the wrong call on the last play of th game, the league should overturn the ruling and award the win to the packers

We need to have a fan union so that we can make sure that nobody attends another game until the real refs are back. Lol. This is really sickening now - i cant believe the last play in the game -an innocent hail mary - just took this to a completely other level!

I hate reporters. They know that players and coaches are subject to discipline by the league for criticizing the officials and they play on the emotions of players like A-Rod and yet to goad them into those comments. Makes me sick.

I still don't see it happening anytime soon, crazy as it sounds the NFL is at full attention and ratings will still be crazy high because you never know what will happen next with these refs.

We need for the coaches to put the backups as a sign of protest. It will be like preseason and people will stop watching.

Too much money on the line for the coaches to play with there future like that. Plus, I just don't see any coach giving their owner the big "FU" and still being employed.

Maybe the players could do something like refuse to play, not sure if, under the CBA, they reserved the right to refuse play when safety is an issue.

Again, I propose a ban on the purchase of all NFL merchandise until the refs return.

Ref that called it had Tate on his fantasy team.
