Good Call
09/27/2012 | | college referees, FL, NFL Commissioner, NFL referee lock-out, NFL referees, Retired referees, Roger Goodell
The NFL owners’ decision to lock-out their referees shows how important referees are, but not if they deserve a raise to $189,000 from the $149,000 they were making. That’s because we never saw how well the next best referees (those in the top college leagues and those recently retired from the NFL) would have done, or how much they might have wanted. As for Goodell, at $12 million, he’s overpaid.
