00:00Replacement refs? I mean, we've seen this before. I mean, touchdown Seahawks was a thing.
00:05Ari, this can't be real, right?
00:07The fight back then was about pension money and a pay boost for referees,
00:11and eventually the refs got what they wanted.
00:14So, listen, the current refs are not perfect. It's a very, very difficult job.
00:18We all know that, but the replacement refs that we're talking about,
00:22I mean, high school and college and arena football,
00:24I mean, it's going to be a hundred times worse, and it's been proven before.
00:28The big part about it is the gambling is as big as it is right now.
00:32You cannot allow this to happen.
00:34They are right now putting together the parameters in case a worst case scenario.
00:38The good thing is we're 25 weeks away from week one when it really matters,
00:42so there's still a lot of time.
00:44There's the owner's meetings at the end of this month.
00:45There's another owner's meetings in mid-May, I believe.
00:48That's going to be in Orlando, but the NFL cannot allow this to happen.
00:52They just can't.
00:52I would hope that cooler heads prevail over here and they figure this out.
