If there’s an NFL referee you’re really not fond of, well…you’ll still have to deal with him potentially officiating one of your favorite team’s games this year.
The league announced the 2016 roster of game officials on Thursday, and all 17 referees from the 2015 season have returned.
That includes the dean of the bunch, Walt Coleman, who is in his 28th season as an NFL official.
There are three new officials this year: side judge Alan Eck and head linesman Jerod Phillips, who both come from the Big 12 Conference, and umpire Ramon George, who comes from Conference USA.
