TOP DEMANDS OF THE NFL OFFICALS' UNION


Referee's microphone to be auto-tuned by Cee Lo Green on all Sunday Night games.

Failure to refer to the Line Judge, Back Judge, Field Judge or Side Judge as “your honor” will be flagged for Contempt of Football resulting in a 15 yard penalty and loss of down.

Reduction in number of times fans allowed to shout “You suck, ref!” from 800,000 per quarter to 700,000 per quarter.

Someone will finally explain to the umpire and referee why this game has both an umpire and a referee.

Narrower, more slimming stripes permitted on uniform shirts at the discretion of the Line Judge.

Revised signal for Unsportsmanlike Conduct assessed on a coach now uses only middle digits.

Sideline review monitor required to have the Sundance Channel and Sunday NFL Ticket.

Holding no longer a penalty 'cos we're just all sick of calling it.

Wide receivers and kick returners required to run at speeds that officials can keep up with.

Referee permitted to snicker as needed when calling “Illegal (snort!) Touching.”

Unrestricted touchdown celebrations allowed if officiating crew is invited (BYOB.)

All negotiations between the NFL and the Officials Union must be sealed with a firm, very firm handshake between Roger Goodell and Ed Hochuli.

It's nice that the ham is fully cured but I find it unsettling to know that the pig had been sick.
