Talk about not getting your money's worth... Bill Belicheck was fined $50,000 by the NFL for his post-game physical contact with a fill-in ref after not getting an explanation of the ruling on the game ending FG in Baltimore Sunday night in the Patriots 31-30 loss. The fine comes as no surprise, as in all sports goes a high-price for any physical confrontations with league officials - even if they are the fake refs... Maybe Bill should pay the fake ref's contact fine with fake money? John Harbaugh on the other hand was not fined by the league for bumping an official on Sunday night either.
Either way, there has been increased discussions yesterday and today with the NFLRA to bring back the real officials targeting week 5. The details are all over the place of where there are still separation between the two groups, but there will be a settlement in place to have the officials return for week 5 (or week 6 at worst)
These NFL games are truly in train-wreck mode, most of us just can't turn away, the impact is mesmerizing, increasingly deadly to each team it effects each week, and although not really laughable anymore, but its more so an expected laugh, kind of like when you hear how bad the Sox lost again last night... It's not really funny, but its expected insult at this point... but like the 2012 Red Sox season, after a long enough time, you get sick of it, it becomes unwatchable, meaningless, and we will tune out... Let's hope the newest ref talks are for real, because "Intertouchdown" can't happen again.
