I would guess the same. Who wants that kind of grief?

What are you referring to?

Games being decided by someone in NYC war-room instead of on the field.

I really don't like that guy's vibe on TV at all. He comes across as a real ******* to me. Not saying he's like that in real life, but I just don't like him.

If we are going to have replay, I'm fine with anything to speed it up. Always thought it was ridiculous an official had to waste all of that time running over to watch the replay when a guy in a booth could figure it out in half the time.

easier to control the games and point spreads that way

A bit cynical are we?

The only way to fix this **** up is to have players before they sign with a watch a video showing what all the head trauma will do to them and then take the rule book and erase everything put into it since Goodell became commissioner. Fixed.

YOU mean by "Big Money". That is who will decide games

it works for Hockey.

NOT even close to the amount of money involved with NFL football, like it or not (Ilove hockey)

never underestimate billions of dollars flowing through peoples fingertips

you just never know

Well said and VERY true !!!!!!!! Big money is who decides which games and what enhancement is needed. It's been that way for a long long time. At one time they were able to manipulate by using the TV time out. Anyone Remeber the "orange" sleeved guy??

When you put the "war room" in Canada, well, it ain't really a war room. lol

The replacement guy is saying they (ref's) are put in a bad spot having to "flag" players for excessive celebration. He would like it to go to an automatic fine situation reviewed by the "war room".
