Larry Nemmers and the Buffalo Bills, 2002 to 2006

Circumstantial evidence: On Dec. 23, 2001, Nemmers worked the Falcons' 33-30 victory over the Bills in the Georgia Dome. His crew assessed 12 penalties for 95 yards against the Bills, compared to five penalties for 43 yards against the Falcons. Bills tight end Jay Riemersma disputed a critical pass-interference penalty called against him. "The guy I was blocking actually told me, 'You didn't hold me, I tripped,'" Riemersma told the Buffalo News.

 

Four referees have a longer game drought than this.

I will say that was an interesting read!

I've often wondered if mobsters had secretly threatened to kill refs and or their families if the ref. didn't influence the outcome of a game and threaten worse stuff if they talk about it.

 

Has anybody ever studied the accidental death rate of NFL refs and if it's higher than the national average ?

It is the original title (League cautious when addressing grievances) and it is about grievances teams are having about certain referees. I guess I could have adding my own subtitle.

 

Sorry - I did look for some key words, but the title wasn't very good (not your fault).
