As much as we\u2019d love to carve the name \u2018John Abraham\u2019 into a freshly lacquered Tuesday Teabag Award for his double obstruction dandy last night, we can no longer endorse the 4 million pound gorilla hanging from our flat screen TV every Sunday, Monday and Thursday: The Replacement Referee\u2019s.\u00a0 These guys have run away, in Usian Bolt fashion, with the title of biggest idiots on TV; which is no small task considering the field includes ESPN\u2019s First Takers, the Kardashian trainwreck, and The Peoples Court participants!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Listen guys, we had your back, we really did.\u00a0 It was but two weeks ago that we carpet bombed the NFL announcers for their relentless critique of every call\/non-call.\u00a0 And while the games didn\u2019t have the same flow to them, by and large they were tolerable.\u00a0 We can live with the ball being miss-spotted occasionally; or with defensive backs mugging receivers beyond 5 yards; or coaches getting extra timeouts and replay reviews; or a few unnoticed chop blocks; or receivers and quarterbacks getting their heads taken off without a flag.\u00a0 Hell, it\u2019s kind of like watching a game from the 70\u2019s. \u00a0BUT we have to draw the line with last night\u2019s game-deciding \u201csimultaneous possession\u201d horseshit!\u00a0 What are you jackasses looking at?!\u00a0 Okay, Golden Tate\u2019s pass interference was overtly blatant, but I can see swallowing the whistle on that.\u00a0 But how the hell can you tell me Jennings didn\u2019t cleanly intercept that ball only to have Golden Taint throw an arm around him after he was down?! Get up off your knees, you guys blew this game.\u00a0 Maybe this gig wasn\u2019t all you thought it was be cracked up to be and you gave yourself an out.\u00a0 Or maybe you just really are in over your heads and this was bound to happen and will continue to happen as long as you\u2019re on the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bottom line, we need to go back to hating on the regular referees as soon as possible.\u00a0 Roger, I know there are few things in life as thrilling and satisfying as crushing a union, but these ass clowns are turning the shield into a California dumpster fire.\u00a0 End the insanity!\u00a0 Until then, we can\u2019t promise that these dickholes won\u2019t win multiple Teabag Awards.<\/p>\n
