Real Refs Doing Browns vs. Ravens

[sliceanddic3]

Well via PFT, the officials have to vote to make the deal official, and thats happening on Friday in dallas. So I wonder what refs we'll have..

EDIT: Nevermind, ESPN just said we'll have the real refs!!

What if they were worse than the replacements? What is everyone going to do lol

Never mind, ok he is a real official. Awesome.

Now the question, when he makes a correct call will our whole stadium shout Thank You Mike over and over lol.

[ravefan52]

Its official!

[darklight1216]

I'm glad that they are going to return [i]after[/i] the Patriots game.

[mnyr02]

we need to give the refs a standing ovation to welcome them back...If you are going to the game let them know how much they were missed!!!! stand up and cheer loud for the referees before the game starts then its back to RAVENS football!!!!! LET'S GO RAVENS!!!!!

I'll be honest , its a catch 22. On one hand we wont get these completely bogus flags and other b.s but at the same time. The RAVENS have to deal with RUSTY!!! Refs who i think will be missing some of the same calls the Scabs were.

In the name of Edward of the house Hochuli, first of his name, King of the Refs and the Striped Men, Lord of the Thirty-One Stadiums and Protector of the realm, I declare that catch an interception.

But don't forget, (Ron) Winter is coming too.

[Guest RBates]

I'm not really sure how i feel about this. I feel as though the rest of the league was getting a taste of what it has been like to be a Ravens fan.. Now the real cheating begins.

[Militant X 1]

i'm glad because i can't take too many more of these cats....

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

lol...Let us hope Hochuli does not share Lord Stark's demise; word has it that the Goodells are sworn bannermen to House Lannister.

[/quote]AMEN. It's a shame we couldn't get in one of the Pit games too.

[CorvusCorax]

Oh thank god! This is certainly awesome news!

[TXRaven]

Great News.

[Raven552]

I heard Belichick fronted the money that the NFL wouldn't budge on, just to get Brady's ref's back.

[BirdWatcher]

NFL Network is reporting that the crew is already here in Baltimore but no one is saying who they are yet.

[CorvusCorax]

Please let it be Hochulies! lol

While I'm sure a regular crew will be a huge improvement, remember these guys haven't worked any games since last year. I think they use pre season just as the teams do, to "get in game shape" and practice their trade. Let's hope they have been doing Pop Warner games or something!

[757RavensFan]

The BS chant vs the Pats was epic. The fans at that game chanted what all NFL fans were thinking. It's only fitting that the Ravens fans have the opportunity to welcome the refs back. Hopefully, we can come up with a classy chant to welcome the refs back.

I'm hoping that too, he's been instrumental in keeping the real guys ready to come back.

[ThePurpleWall]

and his big biceps.

[BirdWatcher]

Aaron Wilson is tweeting that he hears it is Gene Steratore's crew tonight. They did our playoff win over the Pats a few years ago.

[Ozzsome]

I guess this will be the first time in nfl history that refs will get standing ovations lol

[POE]

The crew on sportscenter mentioned how Ed Hocholi should come out of the Ravens tunnel doing the Ray Lewis dance. Obviously being funny, but not sure if that was inside info that he was doing the game.

[FerrariFan87]

I like Gene Steratore... he's usually done right by us.

Welcome back, Refs!!! We will still boo you for terrible calls though!
