Popular Opinion is Wrong Again
It seems that everyone's solution the officiating problem in the Super Bowl is that the NFL should hire full time officials. This makes no sense and it's increasingly the problem with sports talk. People spout nonsense without thinking. How is having an official on the payroll from March through August going to help him make a better call in February? These are judgements calls that happen so fast no amount of training or tape watching would help. The only thing I could possibly think of is to have a penalty review official. He would have about 30 seconds to a minute (while the penalty was being announced) to review the play and overturn the penalty flag. I'm not in favor of that, but at least that makes sense.
