I guess scab referees are as bad as any other scabs.

That is all.

ridiculous! I'm in a 5-6 person win/lose pool, and 9 out of 10 picks were wrong yesterday. The "Daily Line" in the Seattle times, had 9 out of 15 picks incorrect. I'm starting to think the problem is with the refs., and not my expertise at picking a winner or loser!

Where did they get them from...do you know?

It's like bringing in college umpires to do Major League Baseball. It's like bringing in midget males with 2" dicks to do porn movies.

They have different rules and call many of the rules that they do have in common differently. These guys just aren't familiar enough with the pro game to do an adequate job. Add that to the national spotlight, the speed of the pro game and the pressure and intimidation the coaches and players are laying on them and you get a massive clusterfuck.

The other scabs are the players and spectators.
Stop complaining about the scab refs and boycott the games. Tell the owners you stand with labor.
