TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: When was the last time the NFL and the leagues refs had a lockout?
A: 2001, and an agreement was met after week 1. — mlb.com
THE MORNING BREW Replacement officials affecting games
It's here. The NFL season has officially begun, but you may notice those replacement referees are still there.
In June, the NFL officially locked out the league's referees after failing to reach a deal in time on a new collective bargaining agreement. According to the NFL, the two parties started negotiating in October of 2011, with the two parties far apart on financial issues.
Under the current agreement, NFL referees make an average of $149,000 for the full slate of preseason and regular season games. The NFL has said it offered the officials a raise of between 5 percent and 11 percent depending on experience. However, the NFL Referees Association said the current talks do not include this raise in salary.
To me, this bickering is ridiculous and a shame. The referees are the best in the world, and while they make errors, never do they make the errors these replacements have made during the preseason. Each side is blaming the other for not getting a deal
done, and it seems the NFL is ready to use the replacements for the entire season.
Whether you believe it or not, these referees have just as big an impact on a game as any single player and deserve to be compensated fairly for the job they do.
If you watched any preseason games this year, it is clear the replacement referees just can't control the game like the NFL referees. While it is easy to blame the replacement refs, you need to understand most of these guys are from Division II football or even the Lingerie Football League. Yeah, you read that correctly: the Lingerie Football League.
Some blunders have been comical, but what will happen in the regular season when a clear bad call determines the outcome of a game? Some of the blunders seem to be unbelievable. When Washington took on Buffalo and the ball was downed on the 4-yard line after a punt, one would wonder how they could mess up the location of the ball. The ref decided it was a touchback despite the ball never coming close to the end zone, and after placing the ball at the 20-yard line, Buffalo had to challenge the call to get it correct. This is probably the most egregious call made during the preseason and shows that the possibilities are endless during the regular season.
While many errors were made in past regular season games, most were not common-sense calls. The biggest difference between these replacement refs and the normal crews could be on pass-interference calls. This is probably the most difficult call in the game because of the constant contact between receivers and defensive backs.
The NFL is the most popular sport in America and makes more money than most of us can dream of, so how can they not afford to give the referees the compensation they deserve?
These early blunders have only brought a larger microscope over all the replacement referees. The leading story heading into the opening weekend will be the effectiveness of these replacements, and I only can hope they have a perfect opening weekend. Football is back, though, so just sit back and hope your team isn't on the wrong end of a refereeing blunder.
