IMO the rich boys club that is NFL owners need to get off their fat wallets and make a much more significant investment in officiating. These guys should be like players in the film room all week reviewing game tapes from past games on Monday and Tuesday, than preparing for their next game over the course of the week. You need what, 16 head referees earning a salary of say $500 to 750 grand a year and than the rest of the crew between $200 and 350 based on experience. In the grand scheme of the NFL it would be peanuts and take away their excuse that they need to make a living on the side with the current pay rates.

I agree with all this. I mean use replay as a tool to punish refs internally. The media doesn't have to know everything.
Like today, Childress going to the media and says the league told him the call was wrong. That's not professional.
