Livinginthepast Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I think the NFL probably has 3rd party confirmation of the "B word" comment, otherwise Hughes would be in some serious hot water right now. Its nice to know that Hughes wasn't crazy at least during his shouting threats part of the post game. However the total denial stage with reporters where Jerry claimed he didn't know what they were talking about. That put me right back in the "Jerry is crazy" camp.

Buddy Hix Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Good, there’s no place for a ref to be acting so unprofessionally. Jerry has a tough enough time restraining himself against other players, let alone the zebras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Well, Jerry, he might have called you that, but after getting a fellow ref in hot water, this Sunday you're going to be reminded what payback is. Which is a shame. The refs should not be part of the game. The NFL is drowning in this crap. They finally fixed the stupid rule about not completing a catch if you lose it falling to the ground. They started the year with the impossible rule about not falling on a QB when you sack him, but they seem to have backed off on that. I'd like to see the rule book from about 1980 brought back. Let defenders play. Let all the players play. It's a tough game, not a dance where every move has to be choreographed a certain way, or a penalty gets called. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, he should've just said "I'm not going to comment on that at this time" instead of completely denying it, which was obviously a flat out lie. Like a poster said above, acting like that makes him look a little crazy. I'm glad this ref got some punishment....it also kinda sucks that he's actually one of the better refs in the league and he's a full-timer, not just a part-timer.

billsbackto81 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 While I'm glad that the refs are being held accountable for their actions verbal or otherwise I certainly hope this doesn't backfire on us. Refs like owners are most likely a tight knit group and will probably stick up for their own when authority is questioned or disputed. But as Bills fans I guess we can always say, " can it get any worse" ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Ellison may be on his way out.... https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2019/01/27/super-bowl-nfl-umpire-roy-ellison/2678053002/ Quote He has drawn high praise from Scott Green, executive director of the NFL Referees Association. Yet a year after Ellison officiated in his second Super Bowl, two of his close friends told USA TODAY Sports that Ellison fears the NFL might force him out despite a distinguished, 16-year career. “I know he’s concerned,’’ said Jerry Williams, whose friendship with Ellison dates back to their high school days in Lakeland, Florida. “You got a guy that has his career and future in jeopardy.’’ Despite officiating in Super Bowl XIII in 2008 and Super Bowl LII in 2018, Ellison is likely best known among NFL fans for something less exalted: Buffalo Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes accosted Ellison on Dec. 2 after the Bills lost to the Miami Dolphins 21-17. Television cameras captured the moment and the video went viral. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
