If that didn't happen in the end zone, and happened in the field of play I have no doubt that it would have been ruled a catch then a fumble. Jennings had possession took 2-3 steps then the ball was stripped. But because it did happen in the end zone it should have been ruled a catch, touchdown.

I think this is more of the example that the officials are confused on how to rule the change this season with keeping possession through "A football move". Jennings got three feet down, then went out of bounds.. then the ball came loose. Bad call by the official in a replay.. more of a reason to hire full time refs.

BTW.. just giving my opinion.. haven't read through the three pages.

Same thing teachers do the three months they are off. That's really irrelevant. They get paid a salary, a yearly favorable salary.

Train... take part in the competition committee.. attend all the camps of the clubs and take part in training the coaches and players..

Or like a construction worker in the northern climate, they are laid off for X amount of months a year.

most of those guys are rich lawyers though. I doubt the NFL would pay enough to get them to quit their day-jobs. I mean, I think being an NFL ref the perfect advertisement for their firms. Tell me Ed Hoculi doesn't the majority of his clients based on the fact that he's a ref.

The whole point would be to get dedicated full time refs whom live, eat, breathe and shit football.. and their livelihood is tied to their performance upon the field.

We are talking about a Billion dollar business here.. springing for full time crews shouldn't be that big of a issue.. Hack the Commish's salary by a million or two to clean this nonsense up.

Mike Periera or however you spell his name, the head of the officials, said if he were to switch them to full time, he'd lose more than half of the current official staff.

Of course you don't make a wholesale change at once.. but from this point forward, when you add an official.. they are a full time official.

Offer it to all current officials and then start turning the crews over to dedicated officials.

IMO.. the NFL is hiding behind this excuse.

Furthermore, some of these guys need to go into retirement..
