Yet, another, MYSTERY to me ... could someone EXPLAIN why it MUST be an on-field Official which REVIEWS the play!!???
MORE times than NOT I have made the call LONG before the FOOL under the umbrella has even viewed the replay.
Why not just have another TRAINED OFFICIAL sitting in a remote site in front of a few monitors ?? He can send a Rogers TEXT MESSAGE to the on-field ref's Blackberry.
That RINKY DINK, BUSH, on-field contraption is a JOKE ...
That goes DOUBLE for the NFL ... you would THINK they could get it RIGHT !!
I think that the challenged plays should be reviewed by an of-field official (perhaps in the press box area). This could help prevent the Referee from "protection" or "covering up" a bad call by one of his on-field officials.
Unless and until the CFL can get 40+ HD cameras in a stadium for every game, then we will have to live with what we have. It is still better than what we had a short while ago...
