Scouting the refs
Many coaches, including Saints Coach Sean Payton, give players detailed reports each week on the tendencies of each officiating crew, using stats from both the current and previous seasons. It's one of the many tactics Payton gleaned from his mentor Bill Parcells.
Also has a nice search function on which crews call which penalties.
