But the other thing that the NFL is trying to push is that this isn't going to be like the replacement refs.

of 2012.

They're saying, we didn't get those refs ready until, I forget, it was July or August where we realized, hey, we're going to need these replacement refs.

It was too late.

Now they're saying, May 1st, if we don't have a deal, we're starting to prepare these replacement refs from college, bringing them up

and they're going to have more time, and they're going to be ready to officiate these games.

In addition to that, we're going to have this centralized, you know, officiating hub in New York City that will be properly staffed where those people in that office... Again, what a terrible way to watch a game, Lindsay, honestly.

Like, just, you know, I love New York.

Being in New York's great, but being...

First of all, you're in New York.

So this is the last thing I would want to be doing if I was in New York.

And then it's like, if you're watching a football game, this is the last way I would want to watch a football game.

But these are officials watching a football game in the office.

And if they see something that is, quote, clear and obvious, it could be roughing the passer.

It could be intentional grounding.

It could be something that would lead to a disqualification.

If they see something like that, it could be a face mask, horse collar tackle, all these things.

If they see these things and they say...

oh, no flag was thrown and there should have been a flag thrown.

They can communicate to those officials in real time and try to get a flag thrown.
