We also have a very educated, professional crew this week. Not sure what the latter means. Stupid factoid: I went to the same college (for a year) as our Side Judge.

Fleezoid Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 (edited) I'm a bit concerned about the "Unknowns." Applicant: "Can I get a part time job as a Line Judge?" NFL: "Where did you go to college and what is your current occupation?" Applicant: "Umm, ......I'll get back to you on that." NFL: "You'll do fine. Here's your plane ticket. Meet up with the crew in Buffalo." Edited September 27 by Fleezoid 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meet up with the crew in Buffalo." Actually the Line Judge is the son and grandson of 30 year NFL officials and his uncle works as an NFL Official as well. The family sideline business it would seem. From what I can determine he was on the golf team at Villanova and works in tech, and has reffed in the Big Ten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never as officials are a part time gig and am sure working at McDonalds means you gotta work weekends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
