John Parry has been assigned to the first preseason NFL game this season when the Dolphins and Cowboys play on Sunday night.
Due to some odd circumstances in the past few years, this is the first time a regular crew will be handling this game. As reported by FootballZebras.com:
Last year, an official from the Lingerie Football League headed a crew while the union officials were locked out. In 2011, the game was cancelled because the players had not resolved their impasse with the league in time to stage the game. And, this year, the replay officials are still negotiating a contract, but they have not been locked out or gone on strike.
Are you ready for some football?
