This gives you a lot more respect for how hard the game is for the referees and make the correct call for the nfl game
-
I know we rag on the officials all the time but I really do appreciate the job they do, it's not easy
-
Frankly I love what the UFL does with broadcasting the conversations regarding close calls It gives transparency and you understand what the referees are seeing. I think that makes them seem a lot more fair.
-
As someone that’s been a referee, umpire, etc, it’s a very difficult job. It’s all hate and no love from the fans, players and coaches. I can’t imagine the pressure of pro level refs.
-
Good video NFL Throwback! Idea for a video: Do a list of the best and worst teams to lose in the conference championship game round.
-
Man these explained videos are some of the best videos I’ve ever seen
-
You guys really gotta do a series summarizing each decade of the NFL at some point.
-
People will never appreciate and give refs the credit they deserve for how difficult and nuanced their duty really is. They have faithfully performed the most thankless job in all of professional sports and are almost only ever mentioned when it is in a negative context like when the call on the field was incorrect, etc.
-
Your YouTube Channel Is Number #1 NFL Throwback
-
Love these comments from those whom have NEVER officiated a game and don’t have the intelligence to know what they DONT know. Keep officiating with a beer in one hand and a remote in the other
-
People ask me what should I do when I referee my first game. "Have fun and don't suck"
-
Refs used to be sports writers?!?! That's amazing and so bizarre nowadays lol
-
Always wanted to be a ref, not a player. Hats off to those guys, its a lot harder than many people realize along with the fact that everyone hates you.
-
We may give referees a lot of shit (some of it justified, some of it not), but we need to keep one thing in mind: at the end of the day, they're only human
-
McNally is the most marine looking dude I've ever seen
-
never knew how complicated an NFL referees' job is!
-
What a fantastic video. This honestly changed my perspective on refereeing
-
Great video!
-
You gotta remember that we watch with our 4k TVs looking at it from all angles. There is only 7 refs on the field accounting for 22 players. Its hard for them to catch everything. Then when rules have it set up where they cant correct certain things it forces them to be right on first glance.
-
I think this video and the big piece Peter King did in 2014 following Gene Steratore's crew for a week are the best illustrations to what really happens behind the scenes. Every time a fan or NFL reporter or analyst says NFL officials ought to be full time, they need to watch this. They ARE full time.
