1. NFL refs were again front and center in Thursday night’s Seahawks-Cowboys game, with 19 penalties being called.
After yet another penalty at the end of the first half, Amazon play-by-play man Al Michaels said, “There’s a flag. What else is new?”
But that was just a warm-up for Michaels. Late in the third quarter, after referee Clete Blakeman made yet another appearance on our screens to tell us about another penalty, Michaels let it fly, telling partner Kirk Herbstreit, “We’re gonna take the rest of the night off and let Clete Blakeman call the game.”
