Not even sure why this corrupt crew is even still in the city. I guess Goodell gave them some extra days off to have a vacation for doing his bidding. Hope they make it to the Quarter and take in some culture.

The NFL officiating crew that worked the NFC championship game was moved to a different suburban hotel Sunday night, after being harassed both in person and even by cellphone at their first downtown hotel, Postmedia has learned.

Screw those officials. None should be working at the NFL level next season. They might be good enough for the college FCS level or maybe a 3A high school level.

Imagine how bad this would be for them had they done this to a NY or Chicago team, these guys lives would be ruined.

No it’s not just a game

It’s a multi billion dollar business.

People need to be held accountable

There should be no quarter given, no rest, no time outs. This isn’t a game, it’s real life. You had 1 job, one.....and you missed multiple fouls on one play, with 2 officials within 5 yards...costs one team millions..$$$

So the saints players won't be paid for the game yesterday because the lost?

Atlanta is going to miss out on revenue because pats and rams do not have the fan base to fill the stadium?

As I said in another thread:

That is what is so infuriating about the "it's just a game everyone calm down" line. I understand it's just a game, and I understand players play it and the fans cheer, however I spent a couple of thousand dollars just yesterday and a few more thousand over the past season to watch my team play. I've had season tickets for over a decade. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars supporting my team and the NFL.

You're goddamn right I have and deserve an opinion about a questionable product.

So to have the entire season come down to shity officiating call is truly infuriating. It robs the team and the fans of the integrity of the product and the promise of a fair sporting event. And it turns the tens of thousands of dollars I've spent supporting that product from an honest and professional experience to theft.

To say: it's just a game, get over it is pathetic ignorance at best. It's a gross over simplification.

There are absolutely people in the world who deserve an asswhipping. These are some of those people. I’m not talking about a little scuffle, I’m talking about beaten unconscious and stomped down into a puddle of bourbon gravy.

Don't let your puss get moist, they were fine.

About 30-45 minutes later after arriving at the second hotel on Sunday night, at least five members of the officiating crew came down from their rooms and watched some of the AFC championship game at the lobby bar, and ordered food and drinks, including wings.
