Scott7975 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 On 12/5/2018 at 9:28 PM, 26CornerBlitz said: Ellison is no stranger to verbal confrontation. He was suspended in 2013 for “profane and derogatory comments” he allegedly made toward Washington tackle Trent Williams. At the time, only 5 other situations in NFL history spawned a suspension (in some cases more than one official). Should the leave be extended into a suspension, he will join Jack Fette as the only official to be suspended for separate incidents. Ellison was the umpire in Super Bowl LII last February as well as Super Bowl XLIII (Steelers-Cardinals). Since 2007, he has missed the postseason only twice, one was due to a late-season injury. He is also one of the league’s 24 full-time officials. Hughes, as the NFLRA notes, also has history with conflict with officials. According to Spotrac, Hughes was fined $22,050 for abusive language towards an official in a 2014 game in Miami and $23,152 for verbal abuse of an official the following season against the Giants. The current NFL rule/fine structure that punishes players and coaches from accosting officials do nothing, and it is time for the NFL to start suspending players and coaches who make it a point to berate officials after the game. There were two high-profile incidents this weekend where players made it a point to seek out and berate officials after the clock hit zero. The first one was the Buffalo Bills Jerry Hughes going after official Roy Ellison in the tunnel after the game. Another happened this weekend as Taylor Lewan of the Tennessee Titans made it a point to berate Jerome Boger’s crew as they were running off the field There could be extenuating circumstances surrounding the Hughes incident and Ellison is on administrative leave while the NFL continues it’s investigation. Extenuating circumstances or not, the NFL must crack down on postgame abuse of officials. Why do players wait until after the game to accost the officials? Simple: They do not risk costing their team a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty The officials can’t eject them The fine structure is no deterrent For many NFL players, a five, 10 or 25-thousand dollar fine does not impact their economic life. Some players set aside a part of their salary to pay NFL fines. The fact that the game is over allows them to get a shot at the officials without fear of harming their team. The fine is insignificant to them. Lol that's a joke. How about its time that officials stop being untouchable. How about they start getting suspended and fined for terrible officiating? Until recently their biggest punishment was not being called up to ref the superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems more likely than not that video/audio of the incident exists. We may need TMZ to surface it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
