Okay.

So I want to mix something into this, fresh off the heels of a crazy day in the NFL

I went through about a seven-minute span on Red Zone yesterday, post-Lions game.

And in the seven-minute span, I saw eight penalties.

I saw games decided by the ref show, as I call it. I want to know from

Lions fans who watch football, college fans who watch football. Let me just give you a sampling

of my weekend because I think we are in a time of over-officiated games, meaning no one's here to see you, official guy.

I shouldn't know what you look like.

I shouldn't be able to recognize your mannerisms.

I shouldn't, you shouldn't really be a part of the game.

So the Colts game, four seconds after the kick is no good, a flag plops on the field, akin to a harken, back to Lions Cowboys, Eric Ebron, leveraging 15-yard penalty re-kick, Colts make kick, Broncos lose.

Bangle's game, a phantom PI that extended the final loose. Bengals game.
