We did not downgrade refs one notch.

High Div 1 refs would be down 1 notch. These aren't them since they would not take the job.

Low Div 1 refs would be down 2 notches. These aren't them since they would not take the job.

FBS (formerly 1-AA) refs would be down 3 notches. These aren't them since they would not take the job.

these guys are 4 notches or more. from NAIA, the lingerie league, some low Div 3 refs, etc.

This is like if the NBA were on strike and the Celtics brought in replacement players from a local YMCA.

Wasn't this the guy on Sunday night?

So they gave someone who reffed 6 man high school games....a prime time game featuring the Ravens and Patriots? :bricks:

Oh, OK. Tell me where to pay and how much.

I hope it's OK if I leave a little early some times. Need to get up and work to make sure I can foot the bill for the ticket.

(Apparently Fells started at WR? Is that BB tweaking people on all this Welker 'starting' talk or just a screw up?)

Craig Ochoa has referee experience in the Lingerie Football League.

While accurate, not complete.

Correction:

Craig Ochoa was fired midseason from the Lingerie Football League for incompentance.

If you can't meet the standards of LFL, you should not be a NFL ref.
