re: Bill Vinovich will be the head referee for Super Bowl LVIII

It sounds like you're saying the NFL can rig a game by giving instructions to the crew on how they want a game called.

Most people that think it is rigged or guided in a preferred outcome by officiating, don't believe that those are rouge refs. They are saying that they are following orders form the League Office.

You're quote above seems to give more credence to those theories.

To the ignorant, perhaps.

You think the NFL just lets a group of guys get together and call a ballgame however they see fit?

What do you think all of the pre-season and in-season training is for? Why do you think officials are graded for every single call or no-call on every single play of every game if not to instill the standards by which they want the game called?

As an example there is talk every season about what is and is not a catch. They are told by the NFL exactly how they want the rules interpreted and shown hours and hours of video illustrating those interpretations and illustrating both correct and incorrect calls.

How did you think all that was done?
