Apparently, the line judge for today's game is a Saints fan.

NFL found his photos on Facebook where he was at a preseason Saints game in Saints gear and some status updates regarding the Saints, and took him off the assignment for today's game.

He was actually going to be the side judge. That would've been helpful for some pass interference calls!

Surprised they didn't let him coach, and THEN some pencil neck like Schefty break the news accusing us of yet another scandal.

What's up with the "Honey Boo Boo" chick to the right with a fresh cancer stick shoved in her pie hole?

Someone give the woman a light!

Touche!

All these refs are most likely fans, this guy just had clue he'd be officiating in the NFL this year and had photos up on Facebook.

Even the regular refs probably have favorite teams, hide it, and officiate their games anyway.

Those last 2 pics are from before he was a replacement referee. I personally know Brian. His wife is in those pics and she passed away from cancer this last Easter Sunday.

All these guys are fans of some team. This guy just didn't clean his Facebook after getting the gig.
