Save the outrage for something else. NFL officiating won’t get any better this weekend, or anytime soon — because it can’t.
We shouldn’t have to remind people at this late date that nobody is perfect, but there you are. Besides, officials are a lot closer to that standard than the players and coaches. You can look it up.
So consider this a public-service announcement — or else a cry for help — for the guys dressed up like zebras. Because they’re barred from speaking out in public and the league’s higher-ups are too tight-fisted and conflicted to do it themselves.
