Didn't you watch the Super Bowl last year?????

I don't think they actually bet. Being persuaded by outside influences, now thats a different story.

American pro sports officials are very weak, you get hired via nepitism or politics.

winkyduck · Sep 12, 2006

i can say with 100% CERTAINTY

NFL officials DO NOT bet

NFL security is VERY stringent and if these guys bet - they will be caught - and they will be FIRED - ASAP

these guys don't get in ANY kind of office pool, fantasy football league, etc

TRUST ME on this one

I don't think NFL refs, or refs in other sports, are even allowed to bet on horses.

Railbird · Sep 12, 2006

More common than you think, especially in mlb. I am in the Minority that believes you can call a game, bet that game, and still make fair calls.

I think it is highly unlikely NFL refs bet anything. They seen what happened to Pete Rose.

CarolinaKid · Sep 12, 2006

we all have a opinion i guess about everything but my opinion is that refs are human and i do think that that maybe a few bet.anytime you got anything to do with money it is a strong lean imo.but again it just my opinion......ck ps.and again the NFL IS NOT GOD and i do think a lot of bs goes on behind the door etc.

I know one personally and the answer is NO!!

NFL refs do not have money on the games or receive money for games outside of their work pay.

They are VERY CLOSELY monitored and the NFL is very careful to keep tight security regarding the actions of the refs.

At the same time, any system is fallible.

NFL refs are clean and straight.

Not if they want to kepp refing they don't...

The "back judge" in the Super Bowl last year had the Steelers on the ML.

ElJefe · Sep 12, 2006

They don't but I'm sure they don't mind accepting perks from certain people.

Why, because the back judge called intereference in the SB when there was interference? Are you still crying about being on the wrong side. Seattle backers made the wrong pick...get over it!!
Steelers=World champs .

LOL - a few couple more and you'll actually be in New England's class

As for the back judge, I am not mad at him - I just wonder if he sells his picks too.
