Baltimore at Detroit – Carl Cheffers
Green Bay and Dallas will be flexed to Sunday Night Football
With Rodgers out 4-6 weeks, that is shaky at the moment.
Doesn’t matter. FOX protected that game so it can’t be flexed into SNF
NE@MIA 405EST
NE@MIA Jeff Triplette
NE @MIA Ed Hochuli or Jeff Triplette or Bill Vinovich
tony corrente
It appears that Baltimore @ Detroit MNF game will be Carl Cheffers. 99% certain
CONFIRMED !!
Great! Less work for me…
Scheduling change: ARZ @ TEN and NO @ STL have both been moved back from 12:00 p.m. CST to 3:25 p.m. CST.
Steelers-Bengals to remain on sunday night.
Anderson in Minnesota!
Well folks, there are 17 active referees and 17 Thursday games — the Week 1 kickoff, NFL Network and Thanksgiving. Prior to Week 15, BILL VINOVICH is the only referee who has yet to officiate a Thursday game. Therefore, I guess it’s a safe bet that he will be in Denver for SD @ DEN.
Speaking of SD-DEN, check out this video I made with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera as opposing cheerleaders:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s64AdmeGgQ
ENJOY, FOLKS!
That’s the stupidest MF video I’ve ever seen…
Thanks for wasting 1 minute of my life [I couldn’t make it thru the rest]…
Thanks a lot!
That stinks, since Vinovich is a huge Charger fan from Sandy Eggo.
Not bad. You should have put money on that one.
Scott Green is eligible for SEA @ NYG.
The referee for the CIN @ PIT Sunday Night game will likely either by Hochuli or Winter. Three other referees have yet to work NBC SNF (excluding the Week 1 kickoff and the prime-time Thanksgiving game) — Blakeman, Leavy and McAulay, however, all three are ineligible for CIN @ PIT.
They’re clearly saving Ron Winter for a SNF screw-job in Baltimore during Week 16 against the Pats…
Leavy and McAulay got flexed out of SNF so Week 16 will be either Blakeman or whoever of Hochuli/Winter does not work Week 15
Won’t be Blakeman for either game. Blakeman worked PIT-BAL week 13 so based on time constraints he’s ineligible for either game. It’s possible with no penciled in week 17 SNF game that he could work PHI-DAL.
In other news, the following crews are eligible to work CHI-CLE: Corrente, Blakeman, Parry, Triplette, Hochuli (Anderson is eligible, but I trust Mark on his crew being in Minnesota; also Vinovich is eligible but I’m putting the smart money on his crew being in Denver).
Well another big screw up for the worst ref ever—–Pete Morelli====thanks Pete for the botched fumble call on Minn. I know Minn. can’t go anywhere this year but don’t shove their face in it more by calling bad calls.
Nita, lots of things went wrong for the zebras here in BAL. The fumble call was one, the PI call on MIN was another, and a fourth-and-1 play for the Ravens turned into a first-and-goal somehow… BAL played hard and rallied well, but it had a little help!
Yea Joe I agree but I still don’t like Morelli. It is personal and I shouldn’t take my personal feelings into consideration!
Welcome back Nita haven’t seen u in quite awhile
Thanks Top Gun. I was on a little excursion to Guam and then Az. Take a hiatus away from everything, even my computer. Really a great time.
NE@MIA Jeff Triplette Or Ed Hochuli i think it will be Ed Hochuli
So Who has NE@MIA?
Lorenzo shut the fuck up you’re a dumb trowel!
Who has Denver verses San Diego. I doubt Ed or Mike Carey have Denver!
Wil Warren banned the rest of the season for vulgar language.
Shut up Lorenzo! You don’t control this site.
Hey U clown trying to impersonate me. why don’t u & your BF Lorenzo disappear
Will, Mark, Top Gun,
Just ignore that person or persons… if they do not get attention… they will go away..
You know the person(s) are posting false info.. just iggy…
R-85 Crew Eligible for:
Chargers VS Broncos
Patriots VS Dolphins
Texans VS Colts
Bears VS Browns
Jets VS Panthers
Packers VS Cowboys
Cardinals VS Titans
Bengals VS Steelers
R-85 in Pittsburgh… Thank u to N!!
Yea, thanks Becky! Hochuli is in Pittsburgh.
Thank u Nita….
Any chance a moderator can get IP addresses? My bet is that the same guy has several accounts on here. These guys are killing the traffic here because it’s become a nuisance and some of us don’t know who to believe.
Joe… just ignore…. They will go away if they do not get attention…
Joe, you’ve been banned for two weeks for insubordination.
Hi Mickey: Confirmed, Carl Cheffers’ Crew in Monday Night Football at Detroit. (Baltimore Ravens @ Detroit Lions, December 16th.)
Yes, Joe83, Ref Fan already had it… beat me to the Ravens punch! No biggie, as long as the spot gets filled in…
Chargers at Broncos, Thursday night — Bill Vinovich
Well, this means that Bill Leavy will have gone more than two seasons without officiating a Broncos’ game. He is the only active referee who has not officiated a Broncos’ game in the past two seasons, in fact, he has not worked a Broncos’ game since Week 11 of the 2011 season. He’s ineligible for DEN @ HOU in Week 16 and DEN @ OAK in Week 17, as he has already worked in both Houston and Oakland this season.
NE @ MIA and SEA @ NYG are both down to four eligible referees:
NE @ MIA: Coleman, Corrente, McAulay & Triplette, though Coleman is unlikely, as this would make his third Patriots’ game this season.
SEA @ NYG: Carey, Green, Leavy & Parry.
Rest assured the NFL will place the crew with the highest home team win % in charge of the sea@ NY game.
Steratore is in Atlanta for Falcons Vs the Skins.. Confirmed!
For people that havent read Peter King’s 3 part story on Steratore’s crew, here you go. A great read.
http://mmqb.si.com/2013/12/04/peter-king-spends-week-with-nfl-refs/
For ARI @ TEN, PETE MORELLI will handle the game with John Parry’s Umpire. So it appears John Parry’s Crew has the week off. Respectively, Morelli will work his 2nd Cardinals game and 2nd Titans game of the season. Confirmed via the Titans flip card:
http://prod.static.titans.clubs.nfl.com/assets/docs/titans_cardinals_2013.pdf
That is pretty much a lock on Parry, but there has been a great deal of shuffling at umpire to fill in for Jenkins and Brown. Sometimes there are conflicts for a Thursday/Monday turnaround.
GB @ DAL – Coleman
confirmed by ESPN Dallas columnist Todd Archer
Hi Mickey…. someone is using my name on this site… I am not very happy about this… can you delete their post? Please!!! Thank u.
Becky and other impersonated regulars,
You can sign up for a Gravatar account that puts an avatar next to your name, like all my comments do. It is tied into WordPress, so if you have a WordPress account, you can go that route as well.
If you don’t see the referee icon next to my name, it means that it is likely not me, or (very rarely) I was logged out on the device I replied on.
OK.. will ck into that Ben… Thank you…
There I signed up… this is me….. Thank you Ben for the info… I have my Avatar too..
You need to get an icon of R-85 for your avatar. Haha
Eddie.. rather have my Game Worn signed Zebra Jersey’s that were given to me….
That works too.
Nita should get an icon with Guns
IF PARRY’S CREW IS INDEED OFF THIS WEEK:
Only Boger and McAulay are eligible for NYJ @ CAR.
Only Blakeman, Corrente and Triplette are eligible for CHI @ CLE.
Only Boger, Corrente and Green are eligible for HOU @ IND.
Only Carey, Green and Leavy are eligible for SEA @ NYG.
On a side note, only Carey, Green and McAulay are eligible for SF @ TB.
Corrente’s not eligible for HOU @ IND. He just worked his 2nd Texans game of the season. So he counts as not eligible for HOU @ IND.
Looks like HOU @ IND is now down to Boger and Green.
It is Winter in Jacksonville.
Who ever used my name… Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coward…. Now you cannot use it now.. LOL!!!!! No Avatar & my Name is registered…
Thank you Very Much….
Corrente in Miami
Per pats beatwriter mike reiss’ twitter for espnboston, tony corrente has patriots dolphins game
Lorenzo – NE@MIA is Scott Green. Now go make me some pie. #sillyson
Nope, it’s Tony Corrente, courtesy of my favourite NFL team’s flip card:
http://media.patriots.com/mediafiles/2013/15/2013_15_Flip%20Card_20131211_153434.pdf
Well, I guess Triplette can be penciled in for CHI @ CLE, as this is the only game that he is eligible for.
If Triplette has CHI @ CLE, then this mean KC @ OAK is the only game that Blakeman is eligible for. Leavy will either have NO @ STL or SEA @ NYG.
Triplette sux….nice blown calls 2 weeks in a row! Dickwad
Triplette has the Bears this week
IT IS OFFICIAL: Blakeman has KC @ OAK per the Chiefs’ flipcard:
http://media.kcchiefs.com/media/192916/flip_card_-_oak__12-15-13_.pdf
Confirmed Blakeman is in Kansas City
^ Oops. David beat me to it
Confirmed Triplette is in Cleveland this week according to the flip card http://media.clevelandbrowns.com/media/192916/flip_card_-_chi_12-15-13_.pdf
Broken link. The Browns PR doesn’t use that home URL. It looks like you just pasted in “clevelandbrowns” and “chi” into the Chiefs link above.
Triplette will ref the Jet-Panthers game
Any source? Triplette worked at Carolina already this year, isn’t he ineligible for that game?
Triplette did the Jets game vs Baltimore Week 12 and shouldnt’t be eligible
Yes
Hasn’t reffed a game in Cleveland this year
Confirmed! Bill ‘Botox’ Leavy working SEA-NYG! It’s going to be awesome day of throwing flags in the windy Meadowlands!
Nancy, if true i agree. It will be a flag fest. Everyone hates a winner.
Bill Leavy will officiate SEA @ NYG as confirmed by the flip card below:
http://media.giants.com/assets/1/7/Week_15_%28vs._SEA%29_Flip_Card.pdf
Who’s turn is it to hose Cleveland this week? Jerome and his henchman Dyrol Prioleau did a great job of it last week. Perhaps Tripplette will overturn a td based on inconclusive video evidence.
Mike Carey’s crew for Saints-Rams. His umpire, Chad Brown, is scheduled to return this week.
Educated speculation has the final two games as such:
HOU-IND: Jerome Boger
SF-TB : Scott Green
Still have a few feelers out to confirm those, so no bets, please. Void where prohibited. Some assembly required. Caution: coffee is hot, do not spill in lap.
Mickey, everyone’s confirmed. Triplette in Cleveland, as well.
Awesome, thanks Ben!
And McAulay in Carolina, sorry.
Triplette 100% confirmed in Cleveland via Browns flip card.

Adrian Hill from John Parry’s crew is also in for Jeff Bergman. Second straight week Bergman has been out.
Has anyone ever measured the trajectory of each ref’s flag after he has thrown it? I do believe that Walt “Novocaine” Anderson has the steepest throwing angle.
