Nice job by the refs last night on Bills/Seahawks.
Were those guys the hold-overs from the replacement refs from a few years ago?
I don't know how Rex Ryan kept his composure enough not to get a penalty/ejection after the delay of game penalty.

That was really messed up officiating. I think Geraldo needs to look into the frequency of funky occurrences that take place at Seahawks home games. Star witness for the prosecution: Tony Romo.
In other NFL news, at the voting station today, I looked for a ballot initiative that would mandate the dismissal of the Green Bay special teams coaching staff, but there's no such initiative on the ballot in my part of the country. Colts KR's ran like wild horses at Lambeau last Sunday.

My New Hampshire ballot had a space for the NFL MVP selection. It included Tom Brady's name. Some guy in the next booth, who was from Chicago and who claimed he was my dead neighbor, said the ballot was illegal because Brady had missed too much of the campaign. I expect the whole thing will end up before the Supreme Court, where James Comey will testify that the investigation revealed nothing new.
