Jesus Christ, Mort just reported the side judge from the Saints/Panthers game because he was apparently a huge Saints fan :|

And he's not even going to be reffing now, they pulled him.

 

[Bowser]

Yeah that's what I meant to post lol. Kind of crazy, the guy should have come forward and said "hey NFL, I'm a huge Saints fan, I probably shouldn't ref this game."

Dont you think every ref is a fan of a certain team?

 

[jakncoke]

robot ref future

 

[Bowser]

This guy had plenty of Facebook pics and posts of him in Saints gear and expressing his Saints fanhood. He even posted on Facebook and gabbed with other Saints fans about how he was going to be working today's game. A little over the top, don't you think? I'm glad he was pulled.

I think Keyshawn was saying that. Every ref is a fan of certain teams. Only difference is they aren't taking pictures or claiming allegiances to those teams in public.

That's totally different. Agreed

Thanks for the details.

Yeah, NFL is just concerned with the image of impropriety.

 

[jakncoke]

i dunno just thinking, but shouldn't the nfl be like aware of this? like in the interview process shouldnt they ask what teams you lifelong to avoid this?

You would think. Like Darin Gantt of PFT says:

Part of what makes this replacement ref/Saints fan story so mind-blowing is it didn't take an FBI investigation to uncover. Amazingly lazy.

Sundays are so grand when you already have the W

Great win by the Badgers yesterday. Way to dominate.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Dammit drank to much last night and looks like I lost my phone, might have to make that iPhone 1 upgrade this week.

Isnt he a Spartans fan?

 

[effzee]

Start Ridely against Cardinals

OR

DeMarco Murray against Seahawks?

I wasn't even thinking about it but read how the Seattle D is good against the run and LOL@ Cardinals.

Thanks friend! I think it really sucks that Minnesota eliminated their football program, no matter how embarrassing it had gotten.

Oh look snes finally got an alt

On the contrary. The reason that Wisc, Iowa, and Mich St are all down is no doubt due to Jerry Kill pillaging their states of talent.

Club teams cant offer scholarships though, so i doubt anyone is too worried.

 

[Sanjuro]

lol refs.

 

[eznark]

So the NFL pulled the Saints fan ref before he was able to ref the game...why is that embarrassing?

Because he was a Saints fan.

He is a Saints fan.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

You would think. Like Darin Gantt of PFT says:

He shouldn't be working any NFC South games.

By the way, on the map for this week, who makes this stuff up? Why would Memphis and Nashville get the NYG/Tampa game instead of the NO/Car game?

 

[eznark]

Yes that is embarrassing for him and speaks well of the league.

 

[Kave_Man]

Feels good to be sitting here watching Countdown. I missed this last week.

Looking forward to sitting my ass on the couch all day and just watching football again.

 

[BlackGhost]

Not even a question, Murray.

Pretty much how I feel

 

[beast786]

Will be back for SNF.

it's football Sunday .

 

[effzee]

Still salty about starting James Jones and netting -0.10 points.

Should have kept in Boldin in the flex spot.

Watch him go off and score 2-3 TDs.

On a brighter note I am back in the States! Europe was great but man oh man was I ready to come back. Now I can vent about the Eagles, Vick, and Reid in full force! I wonder how many times he calls passing plays against the Ravens D when they showed some vulnerability to the run against the Bengals.

They allowed someone who is involved in professional gambling to work as a replacement official. These are desperate times.

They allowed David Stern to ref an NFL game?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I want to see the evidence that this guy is a Saints fan. I just don't believe it.

Colts Pro Bowl pass rusher Dwight Freeney doesn't just have a sprained ankle. He has the dreaded high ankle sprain.

Chargers running back Ryan Mathews is unlikely to play today vs. the Titans.
