About
The Zebra Blog celebrates the 33rd team in the NFL: the officiating crews. They are the most vilified when calls go against our team. But, the men in the striped shirts are the most studied at their game — and they have full-time jobs to boot.
Their judgment must be sharp, because, unlike other sports, one call can easily change a team’s season. Some become so infamous, they are begrudged by fans for many years.
While it is easy to point out the bad calls (which we will do), we will also spotlight the good, tough calls.
Our focus is on NFL officiating, but if something really attracts our attention in college, or even high school, football, we will report on that, too. However, much like the referees we are covering, we are only part-time writers, so we can’t possibly cover every game. If you see something that we should be covering, please drop us a line.
