I forsee a few "lined up in neutral zone" calls on hardy

Here are some words of advice for Sarah Thomas to make her NFL officiating career a success:

1. Dean Blandino is an idiot.
2. Do the exact opposite of whatever Dean Blandino thinks is correct.
3. If Ed Hochuli ever offers you anything to increase your stamina, just say no and walk away.

The first question that occurred to me as well.

After her first game, she will have more games reffed in the NFL than Bland-ino!

Is it quibbling to question the use of "full time"?

Of course with gender mallibility maybe "full time" modifies female rather official.

 

[Tabascocat]

Who is going to be the first player to accidentally tap her on the bumper? And how many games suspension will he receive from you know who?

 

[BigStar]

She can't be any worse than the geezers that presently hold these positions. Old? Check.Visual-Spatial ability declined due to age? Check. NFL policy regarding current referees; Sarah Thomas not withstanding.

 

[Wood]

I like the move.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Yeah, whatever,,,, when are they going to have the first albino ginger? That will truly be a red letter day.
