    1. The NFL wants to abolish the defined pension benefits that all refs are now entitled to and replace it with a more league friendly 401K type of system.

    2. The NFL wants to hire more crews for availablity/possible early retirement for senior officials who are heavily vested in the current retirement program.

    3. The NFL wants all current officials to be full time NFL employees only/ quit their day job. As we all know, many of the current refs also enjoy lucrative full time jobs. Be it a CEO, Lawyer, Doctor, or whatever.

    4. This is a one time chance for the NFL to break the strangle hold that the current Referees' union has on the NFL. This isn't just about 800.00 a game. It's about the millions of dollars that the owners and the league will have to pay in the future for refs that will no longer even be working the games. This is all about "Union Busting", it's really not about the 800.00 a game.

    5. Get ready for the replacements for a while, the regular refs are very well off and I don't see the NFL or owners caving anytime soon.
    Good post thanks. Hopefully some concessions are made on both sides. We need the pros back.

    Anyone hear the radio interview with Lesean McCoy yesterday where he claims one of the replacement refs said to him during the Ravens game that "you are on my fantasy team and i need you need to do better"



    Really hoping there is an on field disaster (riot) inone of the games Sunday so Goodell has no choice but making a deal and getting the regular zebras back. This is a fukkin joke
