[USML Announce] FW: disgrace.....

[Mark Blocker]

Dennis, I wholeheartedly agree.  The refs are asking for way too much.  The
second worst thing that could happen as a result of the Monday Night
Debacle would be the NFL caving to the refs absurd demands.

Personally, I am indifferent about whether the replacement refs continue
for the whole year -- its never going to get worse for the Pack than it was
on Monday night, so bring it on.  And here's a prediction: once the real
refs come back, the press will be filled with stories about how great their
officiating has been, whether true or not (and the stories will not be
based on any objective data).  It makes for a better story.
