It's like cramming for a test and having all week to study. These guys, no matter how smart and good they are, have FULL TIME JOBS off the field. You don't think that isn't a distraction? That makes it much harder to focus on your PART TIME job officiating a BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY.
And industry that want you to make judgement calls based on the rules.
The Lions game is best example. WR makes a great move, officials call it a penalty because they ASSUME it happened.
Replay in the booth should be able to correct an obvious mistake like that but everyone says the officials will get gun shy about making calls if they are being corrected. What a load of crap.
