If you think NFL officiating was horrible last season, just wait until September rolls around!

They can't be any worse, right? RT @AdamSchefter NFL has advised all teams it is now working to hire replacement officials.

Replacement officials in the NFL couldn't possibly be worse than the usual ones…right?

Oh trust us, things can always get worse. They can get MUCH worse.

The National Football League is now looking to hire replacement officials off the streets due to contract negotiations breaking down with the current Referees Association.

This labor dispute between the #nfl and refs is awful. The last thing the league needs is officiating that is worse.

NFL and officials at an impasse. Officiating is already terrible in the NFL, wait until they hire scabs…Sounds like a hilarious movie though

#NFL getting replacement refs in anticipation of a game officials strike. Could be bad, really tough sport and skill level to officiate well

So the NFL Officials might strike. GOOD, they suck anyway.

Can you imagine an NFL game officiated by a bunch of tweeps? There are more than a few tweeters interested in applying.
