00:00The ref show reached a whole new level this week in the NFL.
00:03Not only was it the second most penalties per game since 2015,
00:07we saw two officials have interactions with players that resulted in suspensions.
00:12Referee Jeff Seaman, yes that's his name, was suspended two games
00:16after being seen saying the magic word to trade McBride a few times.
00:20McBride even pointed to the camera during the interaction knowing he was caught on camera.
00:25CBS sideline reporter Aditi Kinkabwala says she was standing right there
00:30when the interaction went down and all that McBride said to spark the F-bomb
00:34was quote-unquote pleased when begging for a pass interference penalty.
00:38Aditi says McBride was quote heated for sure but never heard a curse from him.
00:43The harshest he got was you're ruining the game unquote.
00:47In Minnesota, referee Adrian Hill was suspended one game
00:50after he didn't like being unintentionally knocked over by linebacker Eric Wilson
00:54who very clearly was pushed into him and tried to help him up immediately.
00:59Wilson said he spoke to Hill after the game and apologized to him.
01:02Quote, he was cool about it.
01:04He understood what was going on.
01:05He just said he didn't want us fighting, me and Ali Gordon.
01:09He said he was just trying to break us up, unquote.
01:12NFL PA Executive Director J.C. Tretter took to Twitter Sunday night
01:16to voice his displeasure with the behavior from both refs.
01:19Suspending refs isn't something the NFL has done very often.
01:22It's in fact the first time since 2018.
