I wonder what would happen if the owners told that moron Goodell that either he gets the regular refs back on the field, or they won't allow their teams to play?
Yeah, I know it won't ever happen, but if the owners told the Commish that, he'd settle in a New York minute. The loss of revenue to the league would be stunning, and the TV stations, Radio stations, would also be losing money on the deal.
Actually, the key to getting these guys to settle might be for the TV stations to tell the league that until this situation was cleared up and the regular refs were back on the field, that they'd be sending in replacement announcers and TV technicians, etc.
Again, I know it wouldn't happen, but it's nice to dream, eh?
