If not, who is worse?

NFL officials would have to improve dramatically just to be bad.

Are you limiting to pros?

Because I'd put the B1G football officials in that Pepsi Challenge.

I think the fact that it is one and done amplifies how shitty they are but it’s a guarantee that a team will get fricked bad resulting in a loss before the end of the weekend.

Thing is Joe was very good in his prime. But he has definitely mailed it in the last 10 years or so.

Hernandez and Gregg are/were dreadful.

It’s ridiculous to me that the NFL makes God knows how many billions of dollars every year but refuses to hire full time referees.

baseball has gotten almost unwatchable with its floating strike zone.

No. College basketball is easily the worst. Close 2nd is SEC officiating of any sport.

Umps think people come to watch them. Baseball has by far the biggest issue with officiating

That may be but ever since they started showing that strike zone square on tv I have been blown away by how good they are at calling balls on the edges.

A little too much reviewing, and way too much discussing between themselves. Before Vietnam and Watergate, Presidents spent less time worrying about whether killing a couple of hundred thousand innocent people, is fair to anyone. than these NFL refs do over a first down.
