It has been a long struggle for NFL fans everywhere. Replacement refs have made watching football painful. It really is true that we don’t know what we have until it is gone and when the original NFL refs were gone we all noticed. It was hard not to with insane calls and refs each calling out a different things.
Finally the wait is over and the original refs are back in the game! Though now the original refs are going to have to be very careful and not make any mistakes. A lot of attention is going to be on them now after the whole replacement ref ordeal.
I enjoyed this article because it emphasized on how important the little things we don’t notice are. I think this is great news for all NFL fans and the article effectively explained how the refs are still going to be getting attention. Read more here.
It was only a matter of time before the replacement refs made a mistake that would impact a game… and cost owners, players and Las Vegas a lot of money. I would bet the owners were on the phone to Goodell within minutes of the end of the Packers/Seahawks game telling him to do whatever it took to get the real refs back. Money talks. Especially in the media.
