Tony Corrente for Chicago @ Detroit
Bill Vinovich for Tennessee @ Houston
Mike Carey for Philadelphia @ Dallas
Carey works for CBS now
NE@GB Carl Cheffers or Terry McAulay
According to Becky it is Ed Hochuli
Mike Carey will not be in Dallas, but Walt Anderson will be. He has PHI @ DAL on Thanksgiving.
He might be the only referee not to be assigned an SNF game this season (excluding Week 17, which won’t be determined until one week before). DAL@PHI (Week 15) is the only tentatively-scheduled SNF game that he would have been eligible for. Well, not anymore.
Ok I am confused…Walt Anderson did the Eagles Cardinals game in Week 8….according to the 5 week rule…does that make him ineligible?
A referee can officiate a game involving the same team only once within a five-week span, unless filling in another crew. Example: Week 8–12 and 9–13 are considered the “five-week rule.”
Hey David, who is eligible for niners-seahawks?
It is a STRONG possibility that TONY CORRENTE will be in Santa Clara for Thanksgiving. John Parry is the only other referee who is eligible for SEA@SF, however, I don’t think he will get assigned a second Thursday game until all other referees have officiated at least one Thursday game.
Thanks. If that is the case, both games i attend this year are officiated by tony corrente. I attend only 2 games a year. I went to Jets-Chiefs and im going to the niners-seahawks.
Heading into Week 13, there are four referees who have yet to receive an MNF assignment: Anderson, Hochuli, Morelli & Torbert.
Anderson has been assigned PHI@DAL on Thanksgiving, so scratch him off. Morelli has been assigned NYJ@BUF in Week 12, so scratch him off for MIA@NYJ. Therefore, MIA@NYJ will either be “The Gun Show” or Torbert making his MNF debut.
If Torbert does not make his MNF debut for MIA@NYJ, then it will have to be ATL@GB in Week 14. He is **NOT** eligible for NO@CHI (Week 15) or DEN@CIN (Week 16), having already officiated @CHI (Week 11) and @CIN (Week 9).
The Gun Show is still available for all remaining MNF games.
Anderson will either get NO@CHI or DEN@CIN. He is **NOT** eligible for ATL@GB, having already officiated @GB (Week 2).
Morelli is eligible for all remaining MNF games for the exception of NO@CHI, having already officiated @CHI in Week 7.
Due to Ed Hochuli being confirmed by SportingBecky, RON TORBERT will be working the AFC east clash in the Meadowlands on MNF.
I was not given a specific reason, but the crew member that I know from Anderson’s crew just notified me via email that he was reassigned to work the game in Baltimore. The wording of the announcement leads me to believe it is the whole crew, including Walt Anderson, too. But I am not 100% certain. It did not name any other Referee either. I’m working on getting that confirmed…and since it is a Ravens game, I’m sure Joe Platania will be able to provide some insight to this as well in the next week or so. I don’t know if Anderson is technically eligible to do a Chargers or Ravens game, but David (or someone else) can probably figure that out. Again, no reason was given to me about the change in assignment. So I have no idea why this happened.
Maybe there were issues with penalties called/not called in Philly’s Week 8 game
Are they setting up for the Dallas/philly game in week #15 to flex for 8:30, so that can make Walt Anderson crew do that game instead?
It has been confirmed. The entire Anderson crew is working in Baltimore for this week.
Good job, everyone. Holiday has thrown off my work schedule, so I wasn’t able to tap my usual Ravens source…
So with that news about Anderson….who is eligible to be in Dallas?
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think…
Blakeman, Allen, Coleman, Hochuli, Leavy, Torbert, and Triplette are eligible for the game in Dallas.
I have no knowledge but common sense should eliminate Leavy because he has BAL/NO on Monday night.
Good catch, sorry I missed that. You are right.
While this would be against common sense, Ron Winter worked the PIT-CIN MNF game in 2010 then worked the BAL-ATL TNF game that same week. Weeks 9 and 10
According to SportingBecky via Twitter, Big Guns ED HOCHULI will be working NE-GB at chilly Lambeau.

Who is eligible for Bears/Lions? Just curious.
Triplette, Vinovich, Steratore, Allen, and Parry. Morelli questionable due to the fact he just worked a Monday game.
My apologies, strike Jeff Triplette.
According to Titans press release, JEFF TRIPLETTE will be working TEN-HOU on Sunday afternoon.

per ESPN Dallas, CLETE BLAKEMAN will be working PHI@DAL on Thanksgiving…

Hey David, I was wondering who eligible for the Cardinals/Falcons game?
I’ve been busy with work and preparing for Thanksgiving, haven’t had much of a chance to narrow down eligible and ineligible referees. If I get a chance, I’ll let you know by tomorrow (Wednesday the 26th).
Who is eligible for Cardinals/Falcons game?
All I have to say is…Terry McAulay hasn’t done a Ravens game since 2010. That’s insane. I guess there’s still a chance for this year.
BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE
BROWNS @ BILLS
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
brad allen has worked a bears home and away game this season
We have some confirmations via FootballZebras’ Twitter:
CHI@DET: Vinovich
SEA@SF: Corrente
CAR@MIN: Allen
OAK@STL: Steratore
ARI@ATL: McAulay
WAS@IND: Parry
DEN@KC (SNF): Coleman
The only games that have not been confirmed are CIN-TB, NO-PIT, NYG-JAX, and CLE-BUF. Due to the fact that the five-week rule exempts him from working the Giants and the Bills, and that he worked in Tampa Bay in week one, PETE MORELLI is only eligible for NO-PIT, where he must be on Sunday. He has been off twice already.
Here are the remaining games, and who is eligible.
CIN-TB: Cheffers and Leavy.
NYG-JAX: Wrolstad and Leavy.
CLE-BUF: Wrolstad, Boger, Cheffers, and Leavy.
Wrolstad and Leavy have both had two off weeks, so most likely, they will receive a game. Boger and Cheffers have each had one, so expect one of them to be off.
So Boger is either in Buffalo or off, according to what you just said?
Yes Mark, that is correct.

We haven’t missed you or your inaccurate posts. Get off this page, you’re not funny. You’re just a pathetic nuisance.
That is very hurtful Mark. Almost everyone on this board is kind and caring. Maybe you are the nuisance with your nasty words.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone (except Mark)!
Look at your confirmations for week 12 compared to the real assignments. I rest my case.
Agreed Mark. As I posted above, Wrolstad can’t be assigned to CIN-TB due to the fact that he has worked in Tampa Bay already this season. There is no need to post inaccuracies to throw us all off.
Actually, here are the real assignments as posted by a REAL source, Ben from FootballZebras.

Please update this page, OK? Thank you.
What? “Throw us off?!?!?” Some whacko named Nancy who makes up weird nicknames and mixes up 2 games throws you off? What happens? Do you start to walk into walls? Are you OCD or something? So weird….
