Why do you think/Do you think NFL refs aren't as hated on

NFL refs are in the line of fire... thus, they're more inclined to call the plays right, or potentially get "run into" by an NFL monster (on purpose or accident)... their senses & attention to detail are far more on point.<BR><BR>Fear?<BR><BR>That being said.. NFL refs blow a lot of calls, but having replay now, saves their bones a little if they screw up blatantly. Also, there's more players on a football field than there are a basketball game.. which results in more refs; more eyes.

An NFL team can have a bad call on 1st & 10.. but still have plays at their disposal.. whereas in basketball.. the ball switches hands right away. I think there needs to be at least 1 or 2 more refs in a basketball game, because the speed of the game is getting a lot faster, and some of the judgement calls these guys are making can easily sway the momentum of the game (because the ball switches hands too often). A href Baseball is just a joke</A>. All the refs do is make sure a ball doesn't cross a line.

A player doesn't swing a bat full arc. Make sure a foot touches before the ball hits the leather, or vice versa... And, lastly fit balls into a personal strike zone. All they do is stand there & watch & still can't seem to get it right. If any league needs replay, it's baseball... but who want's to sit through a 9 inning game, that may already last 5 hours... and then slow it down even more with replay? The game is bordering boring already (in terms of the speed & thrill of NFL, NBA or NHL).. it's almost becoming a tennis match or a soccer game... and though they may be fun sports to play.. they're not all THAT intense to watch. (Well, I take that back.. Tennis can get pretty intense).. but team sports that are THAT slow... it's kind of a wash. :bball:http://www.2009allstar.com

welcome to give a comment to it.

They should have replay on everything but balls & strikes. I think that Selig is the worst commissioner in sports. Refs in the NFL are hated on though.. Specifically pass interference calls and the roughing the passer rules.. They are big judgement calls. Pass interference can usually go either way and roughing the passer rules protect the QBs way too much.

Worst Commissioners:

1. Selig
2. Stern

I don't know much about the NHL's commissioner but if it's the one that allowed a strike still then I would say he is terrible too.

Selig is the worst. He never wanted to add instant replay but once something bad happens he does.. People have been saying instant replay has been needed but a kid's perfect game has to be ruined to finally even THINK about adding a review system.

I'm not sure if he should change the safe ruling at 1st base that costed the Perfect game. It's as close as you can get to a perfect game.. He literally GOT a perfect game.. it wasn't like it was the 8th Inning and the 3rd out.. It was the 9th inning and the last possible out.. and he got the out.

I saw on ESPN that it was a good lesson of sportsmanship. I believe that and I do think that the sportsmanship lesson would be less if they did overturn it. The pitcher didn't flip out like most would.. Buehrle blew up after two balks.. Galarraga didn't after one of the most difficult things in sports.. [Although an unassisted triple play is more rare, it's about luck..] [And a recent spike in perfect games this season.. it's still a difficult task. His perfect game would have been the third in 3 weeks.. 4th in a year.. Buerhle, Braden, and Halladay]

I think the refs in the nfl do a pretty amazing job considering all the things going on around them on the field

all i know is no one is gonna hate on Ed Hochuli, that fools a beast. he's bigger then some of the football players lol

Mike Carey is my personal favorite, but you're right... Hochuli is jacked
