@DCGoldPants Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 NFL Refs Admit 'Everything Just Happens So Fast' January 12, 2006 | Issue 42•02 TAMPA, FL—Just hours after officiating the Buccaneers-Redskins wild-card playoff game, referee Mike Carey admitted that "everything happens so fast out there it's a miracle we see anything at all." "Believe me, pro football is one quick game, and the rules are pretty intricate," said Carey, who admits he probably misses half the infractions that occur in a normal NFL matchup. "Especially the pass interference and defensive holding stuff, who can put hands on who at what point, I can hardly keep it straight—and I'm one of the quick ones. I have no idea how a guy like, say, Ed Hochuli keeps it all together." NFL director of officiating Mike Pereira stated Monday that Carey would not be reprimanded for his unusually frank comments, saying that he himself "almost never even sees stuff like clipping or hands to the face." http://www.theonion.com/content/node/44420 :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28rdsknsfn28 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 That's actually pretty funny. I wonder how many will miss that this is from the Onion. Or how many won't know what the onion is. I can already see all the "**** the Onion" and "Let boycott the Onion" threads already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisc0015 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Only way get it straight would be getting 22 referees to each watch a specific player to see if he commits any infractions. However, I think with this you'd fine penalties almost every down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neophyte Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Most people know what The Onion is, I think. Most under a certain age, maybe. If you are over 45 and not in technology I really doubt it though. For that matter, at lot of folks under 45 who are not in technology won't know either.
