Officiating is broken in sports due to personal feelings, idiotic calls, and ridiculous rules, thanks for calling these things out. And gambling and payoffs, so many of those 😅😅
As someone who is a high school referee for lacrosse, soccer and football for 6 years, it baffles me how bad these officials can be when they are getting paid thousands of dollars per game.
It's not really baffling when you understand they get paid extra to make the call the higher ups incharge of the league want them to make, right or wrong.
I'll never forget the Jim Joyce safe call. I remember watching it with my dad. We were seeing if Galarraga could finish his perfect game. Because we're Cleveland fans and we have to watch other teams and players accomplish athletic feats, cuz our teams sure as shit won't. But I will always love how Jim Joyce handled his mistake with class and humility. Definitely a life lesson I learned by him is owning up to your mistakes.
I don't have a problem with a ref getting a call wrong in real time. They are human and human makes mistakes. I do have a problem when they get it wrong with a good replay that shows them otherwise. There's always going to be some subjectivity, but like come on... there's a lot of bad calls out there.
Yeah he really distinguished himself to me with how bad he clearly felt and how much he owned it. If they had replay then he’d have been able to fix that zero issue
Defensive pass interference in the NFL shouldn’t have the potential to wreck a game like it does, especially with how inconsistent the officials are when calling it, and we’ve seen awful calls for and against every team in the league. The NFL should adjust the penalty to be 15 yards instead of a spot foul
I swear, NFL refs do what I personally like to call "give back" calls. Let's say, early in the game, the refs make a horrendous call that gives Team A a huge advantage. The refs will tuck that play at the back of their minds, and later in the game, make an equally horrendous call that favors Team B this time, which "gives back" the advantage that Team A got earlier. I swear I've seen this play out time after time after time. A phantom Holding penalty out of nowhere late in the 4th quarter? A no-call on an OPI? Ruling what is clearly a fumble as an incomplete pass, saying that the receiver "did not have time to make a football move" before he lost the ball? Etc etc etc. Great vid, as always, sir. Thank you for all your hard work.
Awesome video. As of today i begin my new career as a vocational Instructor for The Tommy Nobis Center. Helping all youth get ready for Employment opportunities and Independent living. Love the content FPV .
I will always respect Jim Joyce on that call. Man took all the heat and owned up to everything. Credit to Armando as well for not completely losing it and remaining calm
The tragedy of the Galarraga Almost Perfect Game is Jim Joyce was considered a really good ref, both by other refs and players. And he publicly and tearfully apologized to Galarraga in person the next day, admitting he made the wrong call. I hope someday, before Joyce or Galarraga pass away, MLB listen to what both have asked them to do, and change the official outcome to a perfect game, as, like Joyce said: "he did it." It wouldn't change the outcome, as the next person grounded out, and it would correct a mistake that was known to have happened so soon after.
The question isn't why people get it wrong, people make mistakes. The question is why the leagues ALLOW the bad calls to not be reversed. I have essentially stopped watching sports that choose to let these bad calls ruin games instead of reversing them. You say the refs don't have the benefit of ultra slow motion high def... but they do. The league just freely choose to NOt use it to make the calls. There is no rational argument as to why they did not overturn that call at first base at the end of the video. Zero arguments for keeping it that way. Hence why baseball is totally unwatchable.
baseball is unwatchable now due to hot takes like this being the guiding light of the idiotic commish, that being said even tho there was no replay at the time umps are allowed to ask for help from the other umps who could overturn the call. no help was asked for at such a big moment and chances are if it was they wouldn't have done anything so as to not look bad. also MLB had the chance to reverse the call after the fact and STILL chose not to do anything...
Refs should be more worried about getting a call right and less worried about their overly inflated egos. No one goes to a game or tunes into a game to watch the refs (not even his or her friends and family). Something has to be done about it, like a points system or something. Each call they get wrong gives them a point and then at a certain number, a certain punishment is dealt out to them or maybe the ones with the lowest points gets a reward, like a monetary bonus and/or getting to ref championship game(s) of their sport. Some think all calls should be reviewable but that would increase the time of the game substantially as each team reviews every single play.
Regarding Don Denkinger: The next batter was Steve Balboni. He hit a pop foul that first baseman Jack Clark should have put in his pocket. He messed up and the ball fell foul. The next pitch Balboni singled.. Then there was the wild pitch and the two run single and the series was now tied.
@3:12 those are not false starts under the current NFL rules. it is currently a grey area being abused by the best tackles in the game. You are allowed to shift your stance (your back foot specifically) without it being motion before the snap. Section 4 article 2 and item 1 of the official rulebook. Technically taylor is abusing a loophole in the current interpretation of that section. when in a 2 point stance you're allowed to shift into a 3 point stance or move your backfoot. if he moves the front foot it HAS to come to a complete stop before the snap, the backfoot however (which you see them kicking out wide) Does not have to come to a stop under the rules. he can shift as long as he doesnt move forward. The reason for them "flairing" or starting their kick step slightly before the snap is because it gives them a greater advantage against an edge rusher. it allows you to control more area and force the defender to have to go even Wider if he wishes to attack the outside edge (which is his job 90% of the plays)
I was soccer referee for 11 years and moved to Europe and became a football referee. Same sport, but soccer is like football but there's less money, so it stinks less. I quit after 2 years since I saw that the game was just an outlet for everything that goes wrong with some schmucks life and he goes on the pitch to get revenge.
...the latter is the most obvious yet some referees are literally standing right in front of the play with the perfect vantage point and still get it wrong. That's just fear of throwing the flag, Waller knows all about that.
As a football official at a high enough level there are several things that come into play. The false start and line play deals with game momentu and wings fouling players , shelving motion and formations and signaling watch other. They need to cover both lines and have coaches on their ass… but most false starts are easy. I have 25 years of experience working for NFHS, NCAA and an NFL team . Being an official is fun and it’s easier with experience. If they can be in position … it take an old guy vS a new one. The game is extremely fast.
On aserious note, id add governing bodies who dont see refs as humans like players but robots that should fit the technology now available. Talking about you NFL, FIFA and World Rugby
Don't forget rules that require subjectivity in their enforcement. Some calls are so 50-50 on opinion it would be impossible to make a judgment that doesn't make a large amount of people mad.
These bad calls should be like a punchcard for a freebie whatever a team wants. And the worse the call, i.e., missed face mask, the higher the value. Something. Anything! We shouldn't be missing playoffs due to favoritism, or whatever.
Why can't they put 2 referees up in the stands to review plays with instant replay and have a rule book next to them or on a computer so they can look up a rule if there is a ticky-tacky play they can always radio down to someone and say hey there was holding on that play or the batter was out he didn't reach the base in time? If they say it is expensive that is not a reason cause they have billions of dollars. You can't screw it up if you have 2 eyes in the sky reviewing plays it would help the refs on the field a lot.
OMG, I'm sorry - I had to get up and walk away for a few minutes after the NBA ref got punched in the jewels, and then the boxing referee got flummoxed by the Sandman. 😰🤣🤣
@@qwilliams1539 I mean, I saw him mark Georgia as home at 1:12 in this video. I saw him in Tom Grossi's 30 in 30 Washington D.C. video. I've listened to him take multiple jabs at my team's failures when Dan Snyder was our team's owner.
In the future there will be lawyers, a judge, a whole court on the sideline. People will stop studying the constitution and start studying NFL Code because its a more profitable career. Weve been on this path since the Roger Goodell fans became more powerful than any individual franchises fanbase
Jim Joyce was standing where just about every first base ump stands in that situation. He just fucked up the call. Plain and simple. Especially one THAT obvious. Shoulda asked for help from the other umps too.
The REAL REASON why referees make bad calls ?? MONEY !! They are gambling on the outcome of those games !! Yes they are !! So what if they make a bad call. The league isn’t going to fine them. They make their side bets and rake up money after the game.
Regarding aging officiating, the NFL went younger but the level of experience fell to somewhere between five and ten years at ANY level prior to getting to the NFL. There has to be a happy medium between age and experience.
baseball has to be one of the hardest too because it demands fast calls and decisions. out or safe has to come quickly, Strike or Ball has to come instantly(though Angel still sucks).' I think in football they need to address roughing the passer differently, I fully grasp and respect they want to protect QBs from getting completely slammed like a motorbike dodging the crossing gate when the Acela is coming. But at the same time I think the rules need to consider Newton's second law of physics, Because that defense player is not going to stop and many times when they make this call you can see the dude is trying to avoid a full on ramming speed but these are not light weight players and they are not slow, especially when they are charging in for a sack. in simple terms I think sometimes what needs to be considered is impact compared to ball release, if the ball was just released that defender was already committed its like firing off an ICBM. You cant take it back.
It was nice to see a video kind of defending the officials. The zebras are insanely good for the most part. Only like 1 in 1,000 "bad calls" are truly terrible
hey all these old ass refs are auditioning for their next jobs in the wwe. Also the only thing worse are judges in boxing! When I watch a big fight I just hope for a non garbage judging decision and about half the time I am disappointed!
People talk about paying refs, but do you know the real reason why there's so much bad officiating? I bet you don't. The real reason why is because the officials have other jobs that arebmore important, they're only part time refs
This explains some things, but I don't recall refs in the '70s blowing nearly the same number of calls as they do today. They certainly weren't perfect, but there wasn't a blown call nearly every play. The rules are too complex for the refs to officiate the game without some help, as though the rules were made with video technology in mind but then they forgot to use video technology to give them that better look. Sky Judge was the best innovation I've ever seen in officiating. I don't know if it was applied properly, but in theory it was exactly what the sport needed. I think the problem we're actually dealing with is that the NFL is an entertainment product, not a sports competition. At the same time, it is increasingly run by organized crime, so they have no qualms about rigging games in the name of gambling profits. This is why the league consistently relies on "judgment calls" that don't have to be evenly applied and cannot be overturned, regardless of the available objective evidence, to steer the outcomes of games. The last two SuperBowls have been determined by last minute blown judgment calls, and I wouldn't expect this to stop.

Big 12 and PAC 12 refs should take the road of Darwinism.
At least the PAC 12 won't exist next year so they can't ruin calls.
As you get older, your ability to pronounce deteriorate deteriorates.
NFL’s roughing the passer penalty is easily one of the most abused calls I’ve seen in recent years
The calls last night were terrible. Have to lay the QB down gently with a pillow.
That and the taunting penalty is stupid af

It's pretty sad especially when it changes the projection of the game
The rule is just to extend drives to increase scoring, protect their several hundred million dollar investments, and to "massage" the outcomes of games for Vegas over-unders.
This and the illegal contact rule. Every time I’ve seen them call it has been at a crucial time like on a 3/4th down
Im sympathetic to refs making mistakes - but i have no sympathy for a sport not using technology to make calls as accurate as possible.
Especially given the XFL had better reviewing of calls and USED the technology so that outcome affecting penalties were called
Totally agree with this
Or worse, using technology to still get the wrong call.
And with the league dipshits try to sell us on cognitive dissonance. “Our refs called a fine game.” If Tim McVey or Bellichik pull the same strat the lions did for that 2 pt., a. Dipshit Allen magically doesn’t bork the call, and b. The media and league hails them as pure 4D chess.
