NFL Players Beg Commissioner to Bring Back Replacement Refs

Less than a week after the real officials got their jobs back, NFL players and coaches want them fired.

“Against the Jaguars, a line judge spotted the ball four inches away from where I was actually down by contact,” Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton told OMGG.com. “Had the players realized these guys were capable of mistakes, we never would’ve clamored for their return.”

ESPN analyst Jon Gruden called on Commissioner Roger Goodell to “replace the replacements’ replacements” before things get out of hand.

“I feel it’s probably best to play without any officials at all,” remarked Gruden during this week’s Monday Night Football game. “I don’t see what could possibly go wrong if the players were instructed to use the honor system.”
