I'm excited, especially since they're back for the Browns/Ravens game. Let's be honest, even if the regular refs do make mistakes, at least they won't come in bunches, and at least they're aware of the rules and are aware of team names.

[font=times new roman,times,serif][i]The replacement refs were actually getting to the point of being entertaining. If I was going to stop watching football cause the games were being screwed up, I'd still watch for the comedic factor.[/i][/font]

[font=times new roman,times,serif][i]I'm going to surely miss those clowns with their big red noses and floppy shoes.[/i][/font]

I think as one last penalty for the bounty business, the replacement refs should be kept on for all Saints games for the remainder of the season.

[BMORElegacy]

They'll definitely be rusty but the product will be much improved. I doubt the game will take 5 hours either!

[K-Dog]

Whew!

[BMORElegacy]

The Patriots and Steelers must be excited to have their best friends back

I have vowed not to blame losses on the real refs--after this mess even Ron Winter is welcome.

[Guest Im An Ozzie Newsome Guy]

But there won't be extra challenges or extra timeouts. I think most of the real refs can get that stuff right.
