Horrible Call

NFL refs do too, everyone football fan in the world knows who Ed Hochuli or Mike Carey is for good reasons. I wasn't really trying to attack your point though. I am just saying a major part of the problem is that the NFL is using part-time guys to do a fulltime job. Part of the reason MLB has better Umps across the board is that they are full-time employees and thus are expected to spend their weeks working on getting better at their jobs. It's hard to do that with NFL refs who are part-time.

Don't worry. I'm not getting defensive lol.

We know the head line judges, because they talk, and put names to faces. But they don't allow them to be accessed by the media. So they don't have to answer for on field mistakes. Blatant ones especially.

Just my personal pet peeve lol.

Absolutely agree they need full time refs.

I think part of the problem is the media doesn't want do it.  Again, they made the replacement refs the story because I think they wanted them to be a story.  When they have a chance to blast an official on talk radio or ESPN's 1001 football shows they don't do it not nearly like they did with the replacement refs.  I think the reason for that is that no one wants to be that guy that blames the refs. 

 

Also, it's much harder to just hold part-time guys accountable than full-time guys. 

 

With that said I think I heard some where after the world series the umps had a press conference you are right no way the NFL would let a Head NFL Official have a press conference.  Then again it's not like the NFL is the only that does that either, the NHL, college, and NBA don't either.  MLB is the one that is different there.  With that said, it doesn't mean what the MLB is doing is a bad idea.

    • I do want to say, although this series isn't going the way I thought it would down 0-3, this has still been a very fun ride. Making the Final 4 isn't easy no matter how you get there. If the season ends Monday, I will tip my hat to Boston and acknowledge they have the better team. Who knows maybe we will win Monday and at least extend the series.   Once you reach the Final 4, you play the elite teams and Boston has been the best team all season in reality. Losing Game 1 to Boston was a gut punch because we had it won, but really the only gut punch I have felt all playoffs. Pacers had a chance last night as well, was up 18 at one time (only lost by 3) but the experience of the Celtics on how to close games at this stage was glaring.    Great moments during this run have been *Game 3 vs the Bucks: Haliburton makes game winning shot to give the Pacers a 2-1 series lead. That 121-118 win in overtime was the series pretty much. Pacers beat a division rival in Round 1 of the Playoffs 4-2.   *Game 3 vs the Knicks: With season on the line, down 0-2 in the series, Nembhard makes a 32-foot 3 pointer with the game tied at 106-106 to help the Pacers win 111-106.   *Game 4 vs the Knicks: Is now called the Mother's Day Massacre, Pacers blow Knicks out 121-89, series tied 2-2.   *Game 7 at New York: ESPN's Knicks = Stephen A. Smith, Molly Qerim, Monica McNutt, Big Perk, Mike Greenberg, Doris Burke, and celebrities = Ben Stiller, Jon Stewart, Tracy Morgan, Spike Lee, John McEnroe - we ruined your summer! Pacers set an NBA record and shot 67% from the field and 54% from 3 in a Game 7 on the road to take down the mighty Knicks in Madison Square Garden . I hate Boston but hate the Knicks more.   The 2024 season achievements *Won 47 games (47-35) and clinched that vital 6th seed, stayed out of the playin game.   *Beat the Knicks in the Semi-Finals to advance to the Final 4.   *Pacers had the #1 offense in the entire league scoring wise.

    • I still think the window will be wide open next season too. Haliburton will only get better and we are young and deep. No 1 player is going to emerge to be an all-time great in 1 year. People have to remember, Bennedict Mathurin is out and he was the Pacers 4th best player when he was playing averaging 15 points a game. Denver will still be tough with Joker, Knicks will be healthier, Boston is Boston but nothing unbeatable stands out. I think Dallas can beat Boston.
    • As crazy as it sounds considering they're a young team, this might have been the best chance the Pacers have ever had for a title.  No Jordan.  No Shaq and Kobe.  No Lebron. No Curry.  They should be up 2-1, possibly headed to the finals to play a very beatable Dallas team.  In another year or two, a new dominant player and team might emerge.
