Daniel Riley Sports Talk Radio

This is Dan Riley for Sportstalk on Powertalk Internet Radio. Week 3's Lions-Falcons game was a reminder the NFL's rulebook is too complex. Though that's the least of the League's problems, it's been that way for decades. it's never good when pickup games among friends are easier to follow than the NFL: the league throws in ridiculous rules and expects no controversy regarding its refs and rulebook. Don't believe me? Go read the National Football League's rulebook on its official site-its impossible for any part time ref to officiate at all. The leagues' officiating department needs to learn common sense can go a long way. It clearly can't.
