Goodell is scapegoat for ref debacle
It's no surprise to see NFL players kicking away at Roger Goodell, an attack by Twitter, mostly. If you've seen enough prison movies, then you know how it goes: The warden portrays himself as righteous, but really is just making sure the prisoners are broken into submission to help him get what he wants. You can't wait for the comeuppance.

It was nice waking up this morning knowing that the NFL was back in the hands of real referees and everything in the world order was back in place. A nice added touch from the league was when I received a letter from Roger Goodell via email apologizing for the lockout and more excuses for the inconvenience of putting amateurs on a professional field.
That's a good start...

Keep taking a stand over refs
It's time to stop waiting on the NFL to fix this debacle. Roger Goodell has shown he and his league are hell-bent on domination, not a deal.
It's time to accept that the locked out officials have no reason to come back for anything less than their full demands. This circus is an absolute vindication for the argument they are essential to the game, and they now find themselves...

Protect the shield. It's the number one mission of Roger Goodell's NFL. Well... that and an evil plan to control the world's water supply. (Probably.) The NFL will do any and everything to protect the NFL shield. Fine players, suspend coaches, shout from the mountaintops about their hypocritical commitment to player safety, conduct a questionable investigation...

Well, all of our complaining and cursing did it… just kidding. The NFL owners and Roger Goodell did it – they got the referees to agree to a new deal and come back to work for Thursday Night Football. It had nothing to do with ESPN announcers going nuts on Monday Night Football (something the network, of course, boldly proclaimed was the reason for the new deal) or TJ Lang...

These days, you can’t have a cause celebre in the sports world without the folks at Next Media Animation applying their skewed version of reality to it. No complaints here. Anything that features toddler Kyle Shanaham using flame breath on a scab ref is all right by me. As expected, the Taiwanese animators weighed in on the scab ref fiasco. The result is a video that features...

According to Judy Batista of the New York Times, even though Monday night’s football game was a complete mess when it came to how the replacement officials handled the game, “the NFL owners are dug in and opposed to further compromise.”

As the debate rages on as to just how horrifying the impact of the replacement refs (and the “Inaccurate Reception“) have been to the NFL and its brand, and as the league meets with the NFLRA for the fourth consecutive day with hopes of reaching a settlement and ending the madness, we thought it important to take a step back and at least look at what are keeping the two sides...
