Just wondering your thoughts on the game last night. I think the crew did a pretty good job calling the game. A few ticky tack calls could have been made for holding but I think overall the game had good flow. Naturally we had to stick to the "flags on big plays only" rule, but I think we managed to keep ourselves out of the game and allow you guys to play a heads up game.
Can't believe Samuel dropped that interception. Admittedly my crew missed the play, we were looking at some crazy looking guy dressed in all yellow stripped bibs who was spilling beer all over the place and screaming at the top of his lungs. He threatened to kill us if we didn't overturn it. And I ain't about to die, I bet the under. I've got a vacation coming up I want to be alive for. [Reply]

On a related topic a few of us had issues hearing Tom tell us to throw flags last year. Rest assured, that's fixed. He now has a mic in his helmet and all refs league wide are required to have a hearing device surgically implanted in our skull.
Working with Greg Maddux for velocity?
Pinpoint accuracy... sure. Velocity? You may as well have Damon Huard working with you. [Reply]

Can you throw 93? Because Maddux could. Obviously in today's MLB that's not that fast, but it's fast enough to get a flag from my pocket to Tom Brady's feet. My team has never struggled with accuracy, every call we make is accurate. [Reply]

Team Fans (in Millions)
1. Dallas Cowboys 8.5
2. New England Patriots 7
3. Pittsburgh Steelers 6.3
4. Green Bay Packers 5.2
Are you ok with these fans making the majority of the decisions to challenges? If so, then I'd say go for it. If not, then maybe let us do our damn jobs. [Reply]
