NFL | Refs Asked To Quit? - posted at KFFL (http://nfl.kffl.com)
20:46 PT: Mike Freeman reports for the NY Times the NFL has reportedly asked eight game officials to resign. Lawyer Mike Arnold, representing the officials, said it is the largest number of referees who have ever been asked to step down at one time. NFL spokesperson, Greg Aiello, declined to discuss the requested resignations, except to say that they were connected to the officials' performance. Reportedly the names of the officials are James Duke, Dave Warden, Tom Johnson, Dave Anderson, Lloyd McPeters, Bill Spyksma, Ron Spitler and Tommy Moore.
This shows that the NFL is doing something to keep referees accountable for their calls. Officiating will never be perfect but atleast they are getting rid of the lower end ones.
