Mark says
Falcons vs. Bills = Walt Anderson
Gerardo Perez says
Since that game is in Toronto, and the Bills are at home, why does Anderson have this game?
Mark says
I don’t know. This is what I was told by my source, which is almost always very reliable.
Russ says
Maybe because it is considered a different game site.
Top Gun says
Hey Mark only the few thats been here since this site been started up dont question u, only ones to question are those idiotic trolls that has no business being here. Thanks for what u do Mark.
Mark says
Well I know Anderson was in Buffalo earlier this year, and I don’t really know the specific rules on scheduling and eligibility since the game is in Toronto. I was just posting what my source told me. But thanks Top Gun.
WIlliam says
Different stadium. Nothing to do with the team.
Eddie says
Thanks mark.
Mark says
No problem!
Lorenzo Antonio says
Walt Anderson already did a Bills home game this year
Mark says
I think it’s okay since this game is in Toronto instead of Buffalo. But I see what everyone is saying. I will try to ask my source to confirm it if I can.
Top Gun says
Lorenzo is another troll that has no info whatsoever. Disregard this clown .
Mark says
I see what you all are saying and I will double check my source and get back to you.
Lorenzo Antonio says
Did NE@HOU get moved to 1PM EST
David says
That is indeed correct! Additionally, DEN @ KC was moved to 4:25 p.m. EST. So, NE @ HOU and DEN @ KC basically flip-flopped kickoff times.

TS says
Hochuli has MNF Saints at Seahawks
Top Gun says
Thanks TS U called his day off correctly
Lorenzo says
John Parry crew will be in Houston
Mark says
No, they won’t be.
FredSilva7 says
Fred Swearingen did a New England at Houston game in 1973. But they were the Oilers then.
Shane Spencer says
It’s Pete Morelli as officially confirmed by the Pats’ flipcard.
Top Gun says
Mickey is there a way to block these idiot Trolls on here? Maybe lock it down so that those Trolls can be banned?
FredSilva7 says
Have talked to the administrators and good news – Top Gun will be banned if he continues to call peopl idiots. Would never be tolerated on the BTFS site.
RalphMorcroft15 says
Wonderful news Fred. People like you add so much to the website and to be called an idiot by some troll is disgraceful.
Sam says
Gene Steratore is in Detroit for Thanksgiving.. Confirmed!!
John Ross Howell says
gene steratore official packers game
Sam says
That’s what I already said!!
John Ross Howell says
gene sterotore packers that is Baltimore
Top Gun says
Thanks Sam
David says
Six referees have yet to work on NBC Sunday Night Football: Blakeman, Hochuli, Leavy, McAulay, Triplette and Winter.
For NYG @ WSH, scratch off Hochuli, since he’s already confirmed for the NO @ SEA Monday Night game. Scratch off Blakeman, Winter and McAulay, since the former two have already worked Redskins’ home games and the latter worked GB @ NYG in Week 11.
So…by the process of elimination, it looks like NYG @ WSH will come down to either Leavy or Triplette.
David says
Prior to Week 13, five referees have yet to work any Thursday games (the Week 1 kickoff, NFL Network or Thanksgiving): Blakeman, Corrente, Green, Steratore and Vinovich.
Steratore has been confirmed for GB @ DET.
Of the five aforementioned referees, only Blakeman, Green and Vinovich are eligible for OAK @ DAL (with Vinovich eligible under a “five-week rule”), while only Blakeman and Corrente are eligible for PIT @ BAL.
Jarret says
Second time that GB has had Steratore this year. He did the Baltimore game.
Jarret says
Gene also had the Lions in week 1
Andy says
No, Gene had Falcons-Saints week 1.
So now we are down to 4 crews that have yet to do a Thursday game. Games remaining are OAK-DAL & PIT-BAL on Thanksgiving, HOU-JAX week 14, and SD-DEN week 15
Corrente: eligible for PIT-BAL and HOU-JAX
Vinovich: eligible for OAK-DAL, HOU-JAX, and SD-DEN
Blakeman: eligible for all 4 games
Green: eligible for OAK-DAL, HOU-JAX, and SD-DEN
(Note eligibility as of 11/21)
Jarret says
Im sorry for that mistake wrong year. I had last years list not this years. Im sorry for that.
Rube Dali says
Who’s eligible for Bears-Vikings?
Gerardo Perez says
Mike Carey. (Did CHI/MIN in 2011)
Carl Cheffers. (Did CHI/MIN in 2010)
Walt Coleman. (Did CHI/MIN in 2012)
Tony Corrente. (Did CHI/MIN in 2010)
Terry McAulay.
Pete Morelli.
John Parry.
Shane Spencer says
Since he became a referee back in 2001, Terry McAulay has yet to officiate a game involving both the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings (he officiated a few games involving either the Bears or the Vikings, but never between those two teams).
John Ross Howell says
all official will be work official only 1 game of 16 week one team
Eddie says
@RapSheet: Umpire Roy Ellison has been suspended without pay for 1 game for his profane words to #Redskins OT Trent Williams, per source.
Eddie says
@RapSheet: Umpire Roy Ellison won’t work a game this week. Can return in Week 13. The NFL expects its officials to avoid personal confrontations
Mark says
What crew is he on?
Eddie says
Walt Coleman’s crew
David says
Rich Hall, who works on Ed Hochuli’s crew, will fill in for Roy Ellison in Week 12. Hochuli’s crew is off in Week 12.
Shane Spencer says
Scott Green is eligible for DEN @ KC.
Sal Martino says
As a friend of Roy growing up with him here in Orlando, Fl. I find this hard to believe. I hope Roy learns from this and moves on from this mistake that occured last weekend. Always a first class person when he teaches officiating camps and attends his old high school football officials association CFOA in Orlando.
Joe83 says
Hi Mickey:
Carl Cheffers’ Crew in Minnesota, Dec. 1st. (Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings)
Top Gun says
Thanks Joe
Matt says
I’m surprised we (Texans) haven’t gotten Blakeman yet, since we seem to get him twice a year. I’ll guess him since we havent gotten him.
Matt says
I meant for HOU-JAX, not NE-HOU, which he is ineligible for.
Michael says
Bit surprised not even once because geographically it would mean less travel. That being said, since it is impossible for a team to see every crew over the course of a season the league does try to have that one crew be one that the team has gotten twice in recent seasons. That being said there are always some that have surprised me. I do not think the Giants have ever seen Jerome Boger or John Parry twice in one season since either was promoted to Referee
Joe Platania says
Gang, my Ravens source tells me that for the PIT-BAL Turkey Night game, it’s… CLETE BLAKEMAN, who did two Ravens games in 2011, but none since… Take this one to the bank, with yams and cranberries… Shameless plug: I’m turning 50 this Sunday, and thanks to Turkey Day action, I have Sunday off! Love the give and take with you guys, hope I get many more years of it!
david says
Happy Birthday Joe !!! Thanks for the info each week. Maybe Stan will give you a raise at Press Box. lol
Eddie says
Thanks joe and happy birthday!
David says
Only four referees are eligible for JAX @ CLE: Boger, Corrente, Leavy & Vinovich.
Michael says
Assuming every official has one TNF game, with Clete Blakeman in Baltimore HOU@JAX has to be Tony Corrente so that means he would not work JAX@CLE this week
David says
Don’t forget SD @ DEN in Week 15. Corrente likely would NOT work that game, since he worked DEN @ SD in Week 10. The following referees are NOT eligible for SD @ DEN:
Coleman (worked BAL @ DEN in Week 1 and SD @ KC in Week 12)
Boger (worked OAK @ DEN in Week 3)
Morelli (worked PHI @ DEN in Week 4 and SD @ MIA in Week 11)
Triplette (worked JAX @ DEN in Week 6)
Winter (worked WSH @ DEN in Week 8)
Parry (worked KC @ DEN in Week 11)
Steratore (worked DEN @ NE in Week 12)
David says
STL @ SF is also down to four referees: Coleman, Triplette, Vinovich & Winter.
DEN @ KC, TEN @ IND and NE @ HOU are down to five referees.
DEN @ KC: Green, Leavy, Morelli, Triplette & Vinovich.
TEN @ IND: Boger, Coleman, Corrente, Green & Triplette.
NE @ HOU: Boger, Green, McAulay, Morelli & Parry.
Tom says
Boger worked NE @ NYJ earlier this year so he can’t work NE @ Hou
David says
Boger **is eligible** for NE @ HOU. A referee must have not already officiated in a particular team’s stadium or officiated a particular team more than once withing any five-week span to be eligible. If Boger had already work at Houston’s Reliant Stadium (which he has not), then he would not be eligible for NE @ HOU.
Tom says
I understand, thought a ref couldn’t work 2 road games of a particular team too. boger will work 2 NE road games this yr (if he gets that one)….thought i had read that, in another post on another week, thanks for clarification.
Justin says
Any word on a crew for ARZ @ PHI?
Gerardo Perez says
The 6 Referees eligible for ARI @ PHI are listed:
Jerome Boger.
Tony Corrente.
Scott Green.
Pete Morelli.
Bill Vinovich.
Ron Winter.
JoeTheMailman says
Seems like Blakeman just did a Stillers game a couple weeks ago. What a joy…..
Triplette and crew have been the most consistent this year! He needs respect.
Lorenzo Antonio- please die! thanks
JoeTheMailman says
Nevermind. Blakeman did the England classic with Pitt/Minn in week 4.
Gerry says
Wow, Just heard on ESPN that Jerry Seeman passed away from cancer. He was 77.
Shane Spencer says
So sad.
David says
Walt Coleman for TEN @ IND per the Titans’ press release: http://prod.static.titans.clubs.nfl.com/assets/docs/titans_colts_2013b.pdf
Gerardo Perez says
Because Coleman will be at Indianapolis, there are only 3 eligible refs for STL @ SF:
Jeff Triplette. (Already did SF/STL earlier this year).
Bill Vinovich.
Ron Winter.
Top Gun says
Thank you David
Lorenzo says
John Pary will work NE@Hou
Shane Spencer says
Nope, it’s Pete Morelli as officially confirmed by the Patriots flip card:
http://media.patriots.com/mediafiles/2013/13/2013_13_Flip%20Card_20131126_131144.pdf
Gerardo Perez says
Hochuli’s U Rich Hall is working that game, according to the Texans flip card. So Hall might work 2 games this week, since Hochuli has NO @ SEA MNF Game.
Lorenzo Antonio says
Why isnt Darrell Jenkins not working with Pete Morelli’s Crew Lately Morelli has any umpire?
Michael says
injured
Ref Fan says
CHEFFERS IS IN MINNESOTA – CONFIRMED.
Top Gun says
Thanks Ref Fan
William says
Jerome Boger will be in Dallas for Oak and Dal.
Gerardo Perez says
Where did you get that from? Any source?
Eddie says
Probably another troll. Boger just did the cowboys-saints game just a few weeks ago.
Michael says
R.I.P. Jerry Seeman. One of the best Referees in the 80’s and 90’s. Hoping the NFL does something to remember him on the official’s uniforms this week.
David says
Per the Broncos’ flipcard, TERRY MCAULAY will be in Kansas City for DEN @ KC, though McAulay has already officiated in Kansas City (vs. the NYG in Week 4).
http://media.denverbroncos.com/images/9008/Flipcards/131201_flipcard_KC.pdf
Gerardo Perez says
Wow, unbelievable. But thanks anyways David. Jerome Boger’s SJ Allen Baynes will work over there at KC, which means that Jerome Boger’s crew should have the week off.
Shane Spencer says
Tony Corrente is eligible for MIA @ NYJ.
Gerardo Perez says
For the OAK @ DAL Thanksgiving Game, the referee is SCOTT GREEN, who will officiate his Raiders game as well as his first Cowboys game this season. This information was posted by ESPN Dallas. Here’s the link:
http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=dallas-cowboys&id=4720175&city=dallas
Top Gun says
Thanks Gerardo & Ken
Ken says
Oak @ Dal – Green
daveydy says
R.I.P. Jerry Seeman #70 You were a great ref back in the 80’s.
Joe83 says
Hi all folks: I agree with Gerardo Perrez.
I guess the crew off this week is Jerome Boger crew. His side judge (#56 Allen Baynes) appears in the flip card of the KC Chiefs’ game.
William says
Carey in Dallas?
Eddie says
Youre the troll that said boger is in dallas. Get off the damn site and quit putting random names out there. Scott green is in dallas.
William says
How do you find out these assignments so early? What source(s) or website(s)?
Eddie says
The game is tomorrow. Espndallas.com
William says
ty
Mark says
Why is McAulay listed in KC?? He was there in Week 4. I thought they couldn’t do two games in the same stadium in one season? Am I wrong?? Sorry if I am…
Mark says
Sorry I missed David’s post with the Broncos’ flip card. I apologize.
WIlliam says
For 5 weeks they are not allowed to referee at the same stadium after officiating a particular game.
Gerry says
McAulay didnt do a game there since 2002 up til week 4, now he is working his second game there this year
William says
CONFIRMED! Green in Dallas!
William says
I saw on espndallas.com that Green is in Dallas tom. Post it!
WIlliam says
Can somebody tell me why Al Riveron has not officiated a game this season?
Rob Hugelman says
He ia working in the league office now. He is second in command to Dean Blandino the VP of officals.
Bruce says
SNF – Jef Tripplett
Gerardo Perez says
Thanks Bruce.
Brian says
Ron Winter Tampa vs Car.
Confirmed
Gerardo Perez says
If Ron Winter has TB @ CAR, then Bill Vinovich has STL @ SF, since he was the only referee left other than Winter eligible for that game.
Scott says
John Parry in San Diego for Bengals-Chargers per Cincy beat writer.
Gerardo Perez says
According to my calculations, these 3 games could be confirmed assignments:
JAC @ CLE: Bill Leavy.
MIA @ NYJ: Mike Carey.
ARI @ PHI: Tony Corrente.
These calculations are based on eligibility. Carey did the Eagles in week 10, while Leavy just did the Cardinals. So that means Corrente becomes the only ref eligible for ARI @ PHI.
Ref Fan says
JAX @ CLE IS LEAVY
ARZ @ PHL IS CORRENTE
STL @ SF IS VINOVICH
MIA @ NYJ IS CAREY
Guns says
Nothing for Boger’s team this week then??
Gerardo Perez says
No, but Jerome Boger’s SJ and BJ are working DEN @ KC and MIA @ NYJ with different crews respectively. The rest of his crew is off.
Nancy Muttlemeier says
Hi Friends!
I am so thankful to have learned from my sources that Jeffy the Jeffmeister Tripps will be working the Giants-Redskins game. Is this the best Thanksgiving ever?!?!?!
Mark M says
Your sources should tell him that he should not work any home Redskins game after that blown call yesterday he should be embarrassed. Then coming out of that lame excuse why he should not have blown the next play dead. He ended up giving the Giants an unfair advantage. After the Orlando Brown play years ago and Triplette’s butchering of last nights game he should be fired
George Kauffman says
Clete Blackman still DOES NOT KNOW what Defensive Pass Interference is … Did YOU see that Blown Call on Pittsburgh’s TWO POINT CONVERSION ?
JoeTheMailman says
George, it seems that years back when a DB would play the receiver’s face and not the ball, it was pass interference. Now, they don’t seem to call it. I don’t know if it’s due to the “back-shoulder” throws or what but face guarding in definition constitutes a Pass Interference penalty. Blakeman needs to return to college or high school football. He was once a promising young white hat, now he’s a bungling moron.
George Kauffman says
Nice summary Joe … As long as The Officials are on the League Payroll, ERRORS will continue.
PatsFan says
Garth DeFelice is filling in as umpire for MNF with Ed Hochuli’s crew tonight, and it looks like Hochuli’s umpire worked with a different crew earlier in the week. This would make it the second game in the same week that DeFelice has officiated (he was with Clete Blakeman’s crew, per usual, on Thursday). Has that every happened before–one official working two games in the same week (even if one of the games is on Thursday)? Is this due to Pete Morelli’s umpire being injured?
SportingBecky says
Yes… happened before…..
Ed Hochuli
Ed Hochuli WK #13 2011 Ravens VS Browns
Ed Hochuli WK #14 2011 Browns VS Steelers(Corrente)
Ed Hochuli WK #14 2011 Texans VS Bengals
Ed Hochuli WK #15 2011 Seahawks VS Bears(Corrente)
graeme says
Did i hear right ? Did Ed Hochuli say…no delay of game ..we were stretching our balls ?
Eddie says
Hahahahahahahah he said switching the balls.
graeme says
Hahah. Thank god for that.
