Pretty nifty conundrum for Goodell here. What do you do when your boss is the one openly calling out the refs for their incompetence.

Like Goodell gives a shit. He has a contact that they must pay worth a gozillion bucks. Do you realize Goodell is damn near a billionaire.

I see what you mean, here. When Irsay says "Anthony Richard's Surgery", what he really means is "Instant Replay in the final 2 minutes". And when he says "no new surprises" he means "no bad calls". Smart of him to deliver this encoded message so the league can't directly take him on.
Edit: Oh, wait. I'm seeing the full tweet on Twitter. What a strange throw-in at the end. Gotta love that crazy bastard. |

"Jim Irsay joins Sean Payton in being a crying bitch; demands to make league unwatchable because he's a pissboy"

Not sure why anyone thinks it would fix anything. Replay often doesn't get it right. See the "fumble" replay from the Chiefs game Sunday. Clearly not a catch so couldn't be a fumble, but review upheld the call.
If anything, this would give the NFL more levers to pull in their quest for story lines.

Sounds like a great recipe for an NBA-like fan experience, watching a final 2 minutes that are 30 minutes of people standing around

Unless they can make the review instantaneous it seems like an advantage for the driving team with no timeouts

Big play? Do you celebrate? Not yet - you immediately scan the field for a flag. Close TD - get fired up? Slow down, my friend - we still need to wait for a replay. Big hit? Eh, just presume that's being penalized. The problem is now expectation. Fans (and players) have come to EXPECT officials to bail them out. To prevent big plays or create them through penalty. To end drives or continue them. And then you have anger when it DOESN'T happen. The league needs fewer flags. SIGNIFICANTLY fewer flags.

Fans complain that you can't celebrate a goal anymore because the video assistant referee may disallow it for someone being offside by an eyelash. The accuracy of the technology is actually too much and it deflates the experience in the stadium especially. The VAR officials are only supposed to take action if there's a clear and obvious error, but often on things like penalties they go from totally missing clear and obvious errors to overturning things that are judgement calls. It's not just the NFL having an issue with over-officiating, it's a lot of sports |
