Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 1089127, member: 204"] Yes, replays are part of officiating and in keeping with the idea that the game is becoming one of officials. And there must be more commercials on TV than ever before. I may be wrong - you will tell me I'm sure! - but there are far more rules of the game now than there were say thirty years ago. And that means the officials play a more prominent role in the game now than they did many years ago - more rules to enforce. We'll just have to see what happens in the next 20 years. As I said before, I can only report anecdotal evidence. A movement or a trend usually begins quietly and is oftentimes not noticed for awhile. If it bothers me - a huge fan - and it bothers other huge fans I know and talk to - there has to be something to it. We shall see. I seem to recall you being a Newhouse guy? What do you do? I mean, you seem to have the answers - what is your field? [/QUOTE]
