Link for your information?

I'm not doubting you, but is there a link to yours? I just tried to do a search to get actual figures but can't find one.

120,000 x 1.3 =/= 104,927.

In Monday's game between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks, Seattle faced a 4th-and-10 from the Green Bay 24 with eight seconds remaining in the game.Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson threw a pass into the end zone. Several players, including Seattle wide receiver Golden Tate and Green Bay safety M.D. Jennings, jumped into the air in an attempt to catch the ball.
While the ball is in the air, Tate can be seen shoving Green Bay cornerback Sam Shields to the ground. This should have been a penalty for offensive pass interference, which would have ended the game. It was not called and is not reviewable in instant replay.
When the players hit the ground in the end zone, the officials determined that both Tate and Jennings had possession of the ball. Under the rule for simultaneous catch, the ball belongs to Tate, the offensive player. The result of the play was a touchdown.
Replay Official Howard Slavin stopped the game for an instant replay review. The aspects of the play that were reviewable included if the ball hit the ground and who had possession of the ball. In the end zone, a ruling of a simultaneous catch is reviewable. That is not the case in the field of play, only in the end zone.
Referee Wayne Elliott determined that no indisputable visual evidence existed to overturn the call on the field, and as a result, the on-field ruling of touchdown stood. The NFL Officiating Department reviewed the video today and supports the decision not to overturn the on-field ruling following the instant replay review.
The result of the game is final.

I was wrong, the offer was 2.82% increase per game.

Even employees of the NFL’s in-house media company have started to break ranks, with NFL Network fantasy football analyst Adam Rank tweeting, “Well, now it’s time for WWE RAW, where at least I know what I’m getting from the officiating.”

Florio posted this in his morning column on PFT.

I noticed that last night, that even the ESPN guys who I am sure are told by corporate (their bosses) to not criticize the shield had enough. Jon Gruden could barely hide his disgust on air from what had happened.

When you're corporate partners and in some cases employees are calling you out, it is time to really re-evaluate whether the damage being done ot the brand is worth whatever is saved by holding out in the negotiations with the Referee union.

Aaron Rodgers on ESPN:

"I gotta do something that the NFL's not gonna do. I have to apologize to the fans. Our sport - the multi-billion-dollar machine - is generated by people who pay good money to come watch us play, and the product that's on the field isn't being complemented by an appropriate set of officials. The games are getting out of control, and like I said in the first week, I'm okay with replacement refs as long as they don't have a direct impact on the game. Obviously, last night, there was a direct impact on the game. I just feel bad for the fans because they're paying good money to watch this. The game is being tarnished by an NFL who obviously cares more about saving some money than having the integrity of the game diminished a little bit."

The junior high game was ruined by the refs too.

Because of the way he acted after that Giants loss. Instead of coming across like a strong leader, he came across like a little bitch.

What did he say?

I thought I saw a quick video of him in a press conference saying the fans should be ashamed of us, he feels embarrassed, etc.

I didn't think he said anything that made him seem like a little bitch?

Steve Smith ripped him a new asshole for the way he was acting on the sideline. Just being a baby.

This. Sirius XM, the local papers in Charlotte, Steve Smith (as mentioned) have all been ripping him. The way he acted, like GoChiefs said, was like a little baby. Pouting, etc...not coming across as the "leader" they were expecting.

Cam did a superman celebration (down 20 points), and spent the rest of his time pouting on the sideline. i think the message is that he isn't doing much to back up the celebration.

Stephen A brings race into the Cam cartoon. Shocker!!!!
