Jerome Boger (pronounced BOH-ger) (born c. 1955] is an American football official in the National Football League (NFL) since the 2004 NFL season. He wears uniform number 23 since 2006; before that, he wore uniform number 109. He started in the league as a line judge and was promoted to referee in 2006 after two seasons. Along with Gene Steratore, he is one of two new referees for 2006, replacing retired officials Bernie Kukar and Tom White. Boger became the third African-American referee in the NFL after Johnny Grier (1988), who previously wore uniform number 23, and Mike Carey (1995).
Boger played quarterback at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia and was a four year starter. Realizing that he did not have the football skills to make it on a professional level, he decided to get into officiating, allowing him to stay close to the game. He started working high school and recreational league games before moving up to small colleges. He spent 11 years in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and five seasons in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference from 1996 to 2000.
Boger has a son, Tra Boger, signed with the Green Bay Packers in the 2006 offseason, but was subsequently released. He currently plays defensive back in the Canadian Football League.
Boger resides in Conyers, Georgia. Outside of officiating, he is an underwriter for Allstate Insurance in Atlanta.
Boger has also served as a referee in Conference USA, Arena Football League, and NFL Europe (where he officiated in World Bowl XIV).
Boger was promoted to referee in 2004. He became just the third African-American NFL official after Mike Carey and Johnny Grier.
Boger served as referee for a game between the Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys during the 2006 NFL Season. In the 3rd quarter of the game, Titans defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth was ejected for stomping on the head of Cowboys offensive lineman Andre Gurode. Haynesworth received a 5-game suspension as a result of the incident, the longest suspension for an on-field incident in NFL history.
Boger also served as referee in 2006 in a Monday Night game where the Chicago Bears defeated the Arizona Cardinals in one of the greatest comebacks in league history.
Boger's 2011 NFL officiating crew consists of umpire Carl Paganelli, head linesman Jerry Bergman, line judge Tom Stephan, field judge Doug Rosenbaum, side judge Joe Larrew and back judge Tony Steratore.
Was the GB/Hou SNF crew last week

Did they just not like the gold pants anymore?

Wouldn't it be black on white? White on black would be black jerseys with white numbers. Sorry to nitpick

X on Z I think is more commonly referred to as the jersey on pants color, not the the color combos of numbers on jersey. Am I wrong or right, anyone else?

That is correct
Black on white would mean black jerseys with white pants.

Man, you can really tell Freeman lost a lot of weight since that pic. He looks like he is about to busy out of that jersey

Was gonna put up their old logo. Is that not the gayest evah for the NFL?

Boger has gotta be among the worst refs. The Saints benefited from some WTF calls but suffered as well. I haven't discussed it with anyone yet...
Did anyone else wonder how in the world the pick by Harper that was called incomplete not overturned? To my eye it was conclusive video evidence. The replay clearly showed air between the ball in his hands and the ground.
This was a 14pt error IMO. This resulted in being down 14-0 six plays later rather than being 7-7 with a pick six. Harper with interceptions in two consecutive games might have been too much for my heart though.

the only thing I can think of is that they could argue that there wasn't conclusive evidence because of the shadow on the field.
BTW, back to Jerome Boger. Your bio mentions his son Tra. It omits that Tra played football at Tulane.

I dunno, it looked like light under his hands to me
oh, anyone else catch how Boger talks like he has food in his mouth? He created some new words a couple of times adding "ed"s to words that elicited some "What?!"s here. Did he really get a college degree?
