OJ was found not guilty too

He sure was, and your point is?

Lewis has been cleared as a murderer. Belicheck ws not only not cleared for the spygate thing, there's absolutely no question that it happened. So which one is more accurately placed on a person, the one where an investigation took place and the accused was cleared or the one where an investigation took place and the accusations were substantiated?

Hey kids,

Enough with the goddamn name calling. Either refer to them by their given name or stop referring to them at all, this thread is getting borderline intolerable.

I feel like we've gone through this before...

On topic McGahee still hurt and out of practice. If the Broncos have to rely on Knoshon they're hooped. Ball or Johnson (did they keep Johnson?) are far better options. Hillman hasn't shown much of anything yet, he's a 3rd down back who can't block at best right now.

BS...every other coach/GM/Team just wasnt caught.
It is also "old news" time to move on.

It's kind of eery how similar Pats fans and Saints fans can sound...

Right, every one else was just that much better at hiding it. Give me a break.

Well the thing about both the Pats and Ray Ray is that there isn't evidence of either: The NFL destroyed the SpyGate tapes and the White Suit has never been found. Makes me kinda wonder why Ray Ray never played for the Pats. He would have fit right in.

Seems that the refs and NFL have reached an agreement tonight. Thank-goodness! Regular refs to be back to work tomorrow night!

Game officials’ compensation will increase from an average of $149,000 a year in 2011 to $173,000 in 2013, rising to $205,000 by 2019.

Beginning with 2013 season, NFL will have option of hiring a number of officials on full-time basis to work year-round, including on field.

New deal is an eight-year term covering 2012-2019 seasons. Labor peace with referees and players. Hallelujah.

hooray!

Wow, that is a lot of money for the number of hours that they work in a given year.

The replacement referees were not that bad. I say that as a CFL fan.

CFL referees are paid about $600 per game.

Good that they got it done, but i think the damage is already done. The season will have an asterik by it forever IMO.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Glad they brought the real refs back. It's nice to know the names of the refs I'm criticizing for their horrible calls.

That's a little bit overboard. One game may have that connotation down the road, but the season certainly will not.
