What a Joke......

As a life long Chicago Bears fan it's always fun to watch the Green Bay Packer's lose but even I have to admit they were screwed out of a win tonight.  The NFL needs to end this Referee lockout and bring back the real refs and kick these replacements ref's to the curb.  I counted at least 3 or 4 obvious missed calls that resulted in the outcome of this game and that is just unacceptable.  The horrible refereeing isn't just isolated to this one game its occurring in every single game and it just amazes me that the NFL has let it go on for 3 weeks and counting.  This is a multi-billion dollar sport we are talking about and they are fighting over a few million dollars and some benefits, that is pocket change for the NFL.  If Roger Goodell doesn't act fast and get the real ref's back on the field ASAP the NFL will suffer catastrophic fan backlash.  We are starting to see signs that this is starting and it will grow more and more each week before it hits the boiling point and causes a major hit to the NFL and its bank account.

Steve Young stated it best when he basically said the NFL doesn't care about the bad job the replacement ref's are doing because we are all sheep and will tune in each week regardless of the controversy.  This may be true but another week or 2 of such horribly obvious bad calls the fans will start to tune out and the NFL doesn't want that to happen.  The videos below are well worth watching and Steve Young really articulates the problems quite good one is from last week and the other was moments after the clusterfuck that occurred on Monday Night.
