He might run an insurance company for a day job, but I wouldn’t want to get on that ref’s bad side.
Interesting that players can’t lay hand on a ref without a fine, but the ref gets away with a great takedown. I suppose it’s just part of “breaking up a fight,” and totally within the rules.
Coach McCarthy spoke with the NFL office about it. He couldn’t share specifics of the conversation. However, the league acknowledged the ref was out of line.
Give that ref a taser!
Extracurricular activity is par for the course during a Packer-Bear game. Maybe John could invite Barnett and Quirk to guest on Cranky Geeks this week. I’ld suggest redecorating the set though. Think concrete benches. That way, only the cards could be thrown around on the set. It could be entertaining to see them take turns throwing the cards at each other.
@ RockOn:
That ref doesn’t need a taser! The player said, “Don’t throw me, bro!”
BigE:
LOL! that ref’s a bad dude! that player was head and shoulders bigger than him and wearing full gear! Looked more like WWF than NFL…
I was watching the game and I didn’t think the Ref was out of line…
The ref got fined his entire game check by the league ($8000ish) for the incident. Apparently he has a history of inappropriate contact with players.
