NFL Officially A Joke With Replacement Refs
Follow
By DERON SNYDER
Headed into Week 4 of the NFL season, the national conversation is all wrong. Our football discourse is out of sorts and off course.
We should be talking about major surprises like the 3-0 Arizona Cardinals and the 0-3 New Orleans Saints. We should be discussing amazing games like Sunday’s Lions-Titans overtime thriller. We should be relishing outstanding performances like Kansas City’s Jamaal Charles rushing for 233 yards one week after the Giants’ Eli Manning passed for 510 yards.
But there’s only one topic on everyone’s mind and it has nothing to do with individual teams, players or games. It’s a subject that can’t be avoided, no matter where you are or which way you turn. It’s the NFL’s idiotic decision to inflict replacement officials on us and defile its own product.
The only thing more sickening than continuing to talk about them is continuing to watch them.
If the league doesn’t realize this is a crisis situation, it’s even dumber than we thought in letting the situation get this far. Monday night’s game brought us to a breaking point.
