NFL Talk

I don't care how many players, coaches, and schemes everyone "analyzes." Here's the only guy anyone will be talking about on Monday morning:

#19 Scott Green
Age: Not available
Years NFL Service: 18
Occupation: Co-partner in a governmental relations firm that assists law enforcement agencies in suburban Washington, D.C.
Controversy:
11/16/08 Steelers / Chargers: Upon review mistakenly ruled a legal lateral a illegal forward pass

Scott Green's Crew
Referee: 19 – Scott Green
Umpire: 70 – Scott Dawson
Head Linesman: 36 – Tony Veteri
Line Judge: 107 – Ron Marinucci
Field Judge: 41 – Boris Cheek
Side Judge: 128 – Larry Rose
Back Judge: 27 – Lee Dyer
Scott Green is an American football official in the National Football League. Green started in the NFL as a field judge with the start of the 1991 NFL season before switching to back judge after the league swapped position titles at the start of the 1998 NFL season. He became a referee on a part-time basis during the 2004 NFL season when referee Johnny Grier was injured. Green became a full time referee at the start of the 2005 NFL season. Green has officiated Super Bowls XXXVI in 2002 and XXXVIII in 2004. On the field, he wears the uniform number 19.

Outside of the NFL, Green is co-partner in a government relations firm that assists law enforcement agencies in suburban Washington, D.C.

Scott Green also did the Cardinals/Packers game, in which he basically let both sides "play football" at the end of the game. It's not a good practice as it shows inconsistency based on one factor alone....the game clock.
Oh, and I (botankus) was at that 11/16/08 game mentioned above. I didn't really think it was a factor, but his crew also called penalties something like 13-2 in favor of the Chargers. The lateral mentioned above negated a Troy P. touchdown, the result of which would have allowed the Steelers to cover the point spread.

So all I can predict is...prepare for inconsistencies!

As an added FYI...referees make between $25,000 - $70,000 per 16-game season based on experience. They sign one year contracts each year.

I hope the Colts win. I want Peyton to have one more ring than Eli, and 2 more than Archie and Cooper. That is all.

Who does everyone wanna see win the Super Bowl?

I am in favor of The New Orlean Saints.

Never watched this sport before, its being shown on TV tonight so might take a look.

Who´s playing and which team are you lot supporting and why??

3 hours and maybe 20 minutes until the supebowl..

should be a good game...

hope the refs don't make a call to sway it either way..

my prediction: don't have one, just wanna watch and enjoy

I'm kind of torn between this one, which is a good thing for me. I always root for the AFC, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Saints winning as well.

Actually, these are probably the 2 best teams playing where I wouldn't mind either of them winning. Maybe NO/HOU would be better, but this is close.

Im obviously not torn about this one.I hate Manning and like Brees so this is a no brainer for me to root for the saints.Thats unusual for me to root for an NFC team also.Always root for the AFC.Other than when The Bears played The Colts a couple years ago,the last time I actually rooted for an NFC team to win was way back in 89 when the 49ers played against The Broncos.Super Joe being my favorite all time quarterback and all.

Take away that colts and bears game,and its been over 20 years since I last rooted for an NFC team in the superbowl.

yeah I hope so to but the way they have been making some bad costly calls in the playoffs,I doubt that will be the case.If it does,just crossing my fingers that it costs the colts.should be another close game again.In fact,Im thinking the saints will be in another tight game that comes down to a field goal winning the game like the Patriots/Giants game a couple years back.

I almost predicted that one down to the tee back then.I predicted it would come down to a field goal in the final two minutes which happened,but I predicted it would be The Patriots winning it which I obviously missed on.

He is one of my least favorites

Did anybody see the article, or talk about banning the 3-point stance to limit concussions?

I'm all good for limiting concussions but why don't they make anti-concussion helmets mandatory for players. TMQ from ESPN Page 2 has been talking about this for years.

Thank you Saints! Nothing is more satisfying than to see Manning lose.

Congrats on your great victory...your team...your fans...and your city deserve it!

Watching Tom Brady lose is light-years more satisfying than watching Peyton Manning lose.

Don't agree with that at all. He is one of the smartest/best prepared guys to ever play the position and has always seemed (to me) to have a pretty good attitude.

Saints played a great game tonight, much better than I thought they were capable of after their shit showing vs the Vikings. I can't believe they recovered that onside kick, and can't believe they actually let Stover try a 51 yarder.

Nice game. Congrats to the Saints.

I was hoping that it wouldn't come down to overtime. If it did, I'd bet that the team that won the coin flip won the game. Last thing I need is to hear people griping about overtime rules for 6 months.

I did hear someone propose something on the radio this weekend regarding the overtime rules. It was Mel Kiper Jr., in fact. He said that if they ever felt compelled to change the overtime rules, make it the first team to six. That could make for some interesting coaching decisions...and also long games when you think about it. But it's still the best alternative I've ever heard.

Not a fan of just copying college? but maybe having them start a bit further away

I think First-One-To-Six can make for some truly amazing coaching scenarios when you think about it.
