Triplett supposedly retiring

[grampahol]

In yet another supposedly retiring stories this season is one that should bring tears of joy to many except in Pittsburgh where the leagues worst referee crew chief is calling it quits (allegedly)  I say except for Pittsburgh because he's apparently on the team payroll, but that's another story for another day.

And my favorite conspiracy theory guy, Brian Touhey seems to agree Triplett kind of sucks.. From thefixisin.net: 

Quote:I think the only people to care about the Titans v. Chiefs game was the referees. Jeff Triplette, who is one of the worst rated officials in the NFL and was yet awarded a playoff game, is supposedly retiring after his performance in this game. I'm surprised the NFL would want him to go. His "bad" calls have done a lot of good for the league. And on Saturday, they certainly helped the Titans. Triplette's crew somehow ruled a sack-fumble a non-fumble because of "forward progress" and later prevented another Titans fumble on a two-point conversion with a quick whistle (which would've been returned by the Chiefs for two points and changed the game from 22-21 Titans to 23-22 Chiefs).

You know it's bad when you see this post-game:
Horrible way to start the playoffs. I hate to say it but this was not a good performance by the crew. Teams and fans deserve better.

Well let's all hope it's true, but rest assured that the league has a Triplett in waiting to take up the job of being the world's worst referee..
Sorry, misspelled his name multiple times, but let's face it..he really doesn't deserve to have his name spelled correctly anyway..
