Riveron seems to be in way over his head and is overstepping his mandate on a regular basis.
Last year, Riveron hijacked replay review and completely ignored the “clear and convincing” evidence standard for overturning calls on the field on several occasions (remember the KB non-catch?)
This year, if you believe the Post’s report, Al and his refs are again ignoring the spirit of the rules and applying their own skewed interpretations to words like “unnecessary” and basically calling everything. Riveron’s weekly “teaching videos” are being called ridiculous and useless by NFL-partnered media like PFT.
Retaining Riveron is yet another failure of Goddell and the owners. He may be a nice guy and I am sure the league wants stability at that position after Blandino bolted, but Riveron is a proven stooge at this point.
