Hopefully they'll be young and athletic enough to keep up with the action on the field.

Yes there is. They had the latest CBA in 2012. Don't you remember the replacement refs at the start of that season?

Indeed, pretty sure that was the same season as the infamous Green Bay-Seattle Monday night game where the last play was a questionable ruling on who actually caught the ball.

So you think making refs full-time will suddenly make them try harder to not make wrong calls?

I would settle for Dean Blandino doing his job full time and spending less time on the Party Bus.

Yes, I do think leadership is an issue as well.

Mike Periera(sp) seemed to have these guys on point. Bladino seems like a hack, and the fact that he is a decision-maker on many replay reviews kind of shines through the bogus results we've been seeing lately.

Just need the last two minutes of every game, including overtime, to be reviewable.

article should say, nfl hires 128 full time refs....

Poor NFL doesn't have the money for that.
