The news comes one day after Triplette's eventful performance in the Tennessee Titans' 22-21 wild-card playoff victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Triplette's decision is not believed to have been a direct result of that game, but he was not immediately available for comment to explain his reasons.

 

(not a moment too soon)

Was just about to post on this.  The Barney Fife of zebras except not likeable.

Saturday afternoon featured some very fun NFL playoff football, but the early game between the Titans and Chiefs was marred by some horrendous officiating. The primary culprit? Head official Jeff Triplette, who repeatedly bumbled calls on the mic after repeatedly blowing plays dead early and lacking control over the game in general.

In somewhat surprising news, it appears the playoff game was Triplette's last.

This guy was a joke of a ref - never seemed like he was in control of the game but rather the game controlled him.....not a good quality in a head ref.

 

Good riddance clown car driver.....

This guy was awful. Always smirking and cracking himself up. Now if we could retire several more garbage crews.
