That only lasts a year or two. 2013/14 the NFLRA will be complaining how unfair it is that two guys do the same job but the older guy is getting all the good benefits. Then they'll rally to go back to the good benefits for everyone. Union 101 for you

Big 3 auto workers still work under a 2 tier system that was put in years ago. Maybe the UAW never took "Union 101"?
The hot topic talked about now is eliminating this in the UAW.

Late night report:
There are reports that an agreement has been reached, and that the NFLRA will have a crew officiate tomorrow night's game vs. Browns & Ravens. The referees would officially ratify the agreement on Friday.
It's coming from Judy Battista of the NY Times and Tony Softli of ESPN St. Louis

Jason La Canfora is now confirming this that agreement is in place and a REGULAR NFL Referee crew will officiate the Thursday Night game tomorrow. I hope its Hoculi!

That's good news. If the regular refs weren't back for the Thursday game then they wouldn't have been used in Sunday games -- too much of an uneven playing field for teams playing Thursday.

Ed lives in Arizona. My guess is Scott Green. He lives in DC. Short trip to Ballamore.

Getting it confirmed now from a smattering of minor sources.
However, NFLN's Albert Breer is stating that the deal is not quite done yet, but it "could get done tonight or tomorrow morning". Considering that's the NFL's patsy reporter, I'm guessing that's what current state of talks are.
However, where there is smoke, there is fire; it appears we should have regular crews back this week or next week (at latest)

Very exciting indeed. I just offered Alberto Riveron for Mike Carey in my referee fantasy league.
I may have to throw in a back judge.

you should counteroffer ed hercules for carey. ed has more short term value, but carey will have a longer career.

Did you know that Carey is 63 and Hochuli is 61?

hmmm. carey seems to look younger. maybe the juice has shortened ed's life span.

Until we remember they make bad calls.

At least they'll make the bad calls quicker.

When they make bad calls, at least they will be made by the best of the best in the American football refereeing profession. It will be legitimate and understandable, in the grand scheme of things. Any human being doing this job would make mistakes, but at least when the real refs make the mistakes you can be reasonably certain that they had the best chance of getting it right from the get-go. It becomes a rare bad decision, or a moment of bad luck, that keeps the right call from being made--or not made, or seen at all. With the replacements it was not only inevitable, but expected after nearly EVERY play.These replacements were bad, slow, and probably most importantly, couldn't control the game after the whistle. It was dangerous, and now NFL games won't all be thugged-out brawls after every play.

Goodell is a genius! He has fans everywhere salivating at the return of adequately talented officials.
When keeping this in perspective, the replacement officials had zero experience at this level and still got about 98% of the calls right. What does that say about how difficult it is to be an NFL Official?
Yes, I'm glad they're back. But they are replaceable. Long live the dreaded union.

Goodell does what he's told by his bosses. If that makes him a genius in your eyes, so be it.
