Player safety and protecting the integrity of the the game. Those are the two things Goodell always spouts off when asked about his heavy handed tactics. Those are also the two things that will be undermined by using these replacement refs. This is an absolute disgrace. Goodell is an incredibly petty man. They're saving pennies here and spitting in the faces of the FANS and players.


THIS. I know a lot of people who don't watch the NFL because they get turned off by all the stupid things that go on. Obviously they are making enough money to not worry about the people who are starting to hate the NFL but it is definitely growing. If it wasn't for the Saints, I would just watch college football. Also on that note...

The NFL Referees Association and the league have broken off talks after a third day of meetings Saturday failed to reach a resolution on a new labor deal.

"We are disappointed because it means that our members will not be back on the field for Week 1 of the regular season due to the NFL's continuing lockout," Mike Arnold, the lead negotiator for the referees, said in a statement. "We remain willing to negotiate with the NFL in order to reach a fair agreement.
