Greg Aiello Takes Shot at Former Referee Mike Pereira Over Replacement Officiating [UPDATE]
By Jason Lisk
Nothing like a little former league official versus the league spokesman over the quality of officiating. Mike Pereira fired back, “that’s the first honest thing you’ve said in a while.” The criticisms have been out there, but so far there have been no major gaffes in critical situation, and no players have been thoughtlessly and unnecessarily maimed by a replacement official, so score this round for the NFL to date as we head to primetime and the conclusion of the second set of games.
[UPDATE: As many of you noted, the two are apparently friendly. So they were joking!]
