They're more likely to be seen at the top of the Swap Zone than they are 3 pages deep in the main forum...and what do you think we should do, make the entire first page of the main forum a bunch of stickied threads?Originally posted by OpIv37Comment

Re: One Ticket Available for the Jets game
I would love to go but I have made a commitment to not purchasing tickets, merchandise or television broadcasts that flow into the coffers of the NFL. The league has ruined the greatest game on earth and I'm not happy about it. Many, many fans know this yet they continue to support the league. You are all enablers. When people take a stance then something will be done.Comment

Re: One Ticket Available for the Jets game
why should I not watch the games? I will watch the games that are free broadcast or on regular cable. No more Sunday ticket. No more being forced to absorb full price tickets for pre-season games. The playoffs last year were a joke...and watching some of the games last week was the final straw. Too many games are being decided by the refs. I don't expect them to be perfect...but they don't even call what they see. It's very clear to me the see some indication there might be a foul there...and if it suits the team they want to win they make a call. I'm tired of it and I'm not going to support those activities any more.Originally posted by BufftpComment

Re: One Ticket Available for the Jets game
Well Kieth if you are going boycott the NFL then don't watch the games. It may be free to you but Networks pray a pretty penny to air them, and advertisers pay the Networks. It is the single largest source of revenue for the NFL.Originally posted by Typ0

I don't think that level of response is required though. If enough people do something that impacts their bottom line because of this they will certainly have a response to not continue to lose those revenues. The league needs to admit they have a problem in this area and take some corrective action. Instead, they spin it like they don't have a problem which I believe is insulting to all fans of the sport.
For example, they should have come out this week and apologized to the Giants and all their fans. There was a call made in that game that was the difference between the Giants winning and losing. There is no way the official saw pass interference, what he saw was the defender move away from the receiver in a way that looked like there was pass interference and offensive pass interference was called. He saw the indication of a foul but he didn't see the foul and he still made the call. This is at the very core of what the problem is with the officials.
The NFL needs to do the following:
1. admit this is a problem and take a stance with officials that they actually need to see the fouls in order to make a call.
2. add an official on the field for every game on the schedule.
3. have better training and mentoring of officials, which could include two months of workshops and officiating NFL Europe making them full time officials.
4. consider adding penalty calls to the review process. If a team feels they were called for a phantom penalty make the review officials queue it up and prove there was a penalty there. If this was the case, the Giants call would have been reversed and the Giants would have won the game.
5. stop it with the spin doctor crap. Any idiot can see Music City Miracle was a blown call. Possibly, it cost the Bills a trip to the superbowl. Heck, they even blew the review. Stop talking to us like morons who don't know anything and take some responsibility.
6. have a disciplinary/penalty system in place for offiials who do not follow the philosoply of "have to see a foul to make a call"...ie, the ones who call fouls that aren't there.
7. add more cameras. Why is it that the XFL could afford it but the NFL can't?
8. have the same amount of cameras in each stadium. It's a well known fact that featured games have more cameras and a more extensive behind the scenes broadcast crew. Well guess what, these games are being officiated differently than the others because of better camera angles on replays. In short, the Clevelend Browns games don't have the same officiating support that the NE Patriots have and this is perhaps the biggest injustice in the league.
It's a great game. Boycotting the league is not required. All that has to be done is something that impacts the corporate wallet of the NFL. Anything else will just be laughed at by the league but something that costs them $$$ will get them to listen and respond appropriately.Last edited by Typ0; 09-17-2006, 01:48 PM.Comment

Re: One Ticket Available for the Jets game
That's the most homeristic statement I've seen ever and shows not only homerism but a total lack of knowledge of the review system.5. stop it with the spin doctor crap. Any idiot can see Music City Miracle was a blown call. Possibly, it cost the Bills a trip to the superbowl. Heck, they even blew the review. Stop talking to us like morons who don't know anything and take some responsibility.
First of all, let me say I think it was a bad call. The line judge that game, Byron Boston, was behind the play when it happened. It was a close call and his being out of position caused him to make that call. Had he been in position, he might very well have called it differently.
As far as the review, there has to be definitive proof that the call was bad in order to overturn it. There wasn't...the camera angles weren't good enough to offer definitive proof either way. Had Boston called it a lateral in the first place, it still couldn't have been overturned because of the camera angles. Luckett was a screwup on the coin toss (in 1998's Lions-Steelers game) and at various other times in his job as NFL referee..but on that call, he did his job properly....no matter how bad it sucked for us
The other 5 points you made, I agree with completelyComment
