well they said on thefan that jerry jones was talking to bud adams today

didnt know about the fine already on bud adams; missed that

i still think though that jerry jones and cowboys are looking at a OT and safety to help replace columbo & hamlin

Jerry was probably getting instructions from Bud Adams on how to optimally flip someone the bird.

The reason he didn't make it is because he has BINARY(01100100 01101001 01100001 01110010 01110010 01101000 01100101 01100001 00100000 01100011 01101000 01100001 00100000 01100011 01101000 01100001 00100000 01100011 01101000 01100001)

Maybe he's ill or has another commitment like a Dentist visit. Something doesn't always have to be up.

Don't mess with his Conspiracy Theories and agendas. He might be forced to use Capitals at the beginning of sentences or something drastic. Maybe even correct punctuation.

wow i didnt know that, no wonder goodell stuck it to bud adams

what ticks me off about this whole issue with bud adams,; they dont do nothing about the poor officiating,
you should have just started the thread with Jones not talking because of bad officiating instead of trying to tie that together.

I wanna be a ref, where do I apply?

I figure, hell if I read half of the rulebook, I will already know more then 75% of the NFL refs now.
From an article a couple years ago:






How does one become an NFL official? Jim Howey explains, “The procedure is pretty complicated. To be eligible to apply, you must have 10 years of football officiating experience, including five at major college level. Then you fill out an application form for NFL officials and send it and your officiating schedule to the NFL Officiating Department.

“Next you are observed by NFL scouts, many of whom are in the southeast. Ok, that my be a problem





Most of the time you don’t even know they are there at your games. A scout will watch you more than once. One scout told me he had seen me work 20 games. If they determine you have the capability to succeed as an NFL official, they talk to the officials supervisor. The next step is to be chosen to officiate in NFL Europe. I did that, officiating in throughout the league - Scotland, Germany, Spain.

“NFL Europe is a training ground, a developmental league for both NFL players and officials. There is an observer of officials at every game. The observers spend a lot of time with you, watching films of the games. This is a learning experience. Not everyone chosen to officiate in NFL Europe makes the NFL.”

From some 200 officials considered annually for positions in the NFL, 12-15 are selected as finalists. Finalists are interviewed by psychologists to determine their level of intelligence and ability to handle stressful situations. They are thoroughly investigated by the NFL’s Security Department. Each is interviewed by a panel from the League officiating department and given a rules examination. Only about six finalists annually are hired as NFL officials.

This past February Jim Howey received the good news. He was one of the chosen few selected to officiate in the National Football League. After officiating another spring in Europe, he began his really difficult preparation for the NFL.

Howey explained the training program for new officials: “The NFL does a great job of preparing us. We view 10 training tapes, followed by questions and answers; take two 75-item rules exams; answer 200 other questions; and study oodles of books and manuscripts. We learn a lot by voice overlay of tapes; tapes are a great teaching tool.”

Preseason began in July with attendance at an officiating clinic with the crew he would join. The clinic covered new rules, physical workouts, proctored rules exams, video study of officiating mechanics and play situations, crew sessions, video sessions by position, penalty calls and no calls, and an analysis of playing rules philosophy.

The total training program of games officials is conducted through the National Football League’s Officiating Program, headed by the Senior Director of Officials. Assisting the Director are four full-time supervisors, three associate supervisors, and five observer/trainers. In addition, the office support staff includes an administrative assistant, secretary, special projects coordinator, statistical coordinator, video coordinator, and video coordinator assistant.

As a back judge, Howey has the responsibility for calling many plays that decide whether points will be put on the board - pass interference on deep plays, penalties down field, and whether field goals and extra points are good. He explained how an official learns to make such difficult calls as pass interference: “We see tapes over and over, viewing examples of interference until it is the natural thing for us to call.”

He told Rock Hill Herald sportswriter Darin Gantt, “You can’t worry about making the call everyone thinks is right. You make the call you think is right. No official has ever called a perfect game, but you keep working at it and doing the best you can.”







Keep us up to date on your progress the next 15 years or so.

A quarter of a million dollars for the middle finger? Wow. That is a lot of money for expressing an opinion. No free speech allowed in the NFL. Got it.
