re: Former VP of NFL officiating: SEC refs losing credibility, Cites "mystery man"

From the way I read the article, it sounded like he was saying that the SEC officials either didn't know how to enforce/penalize the call, or just didn't really know what the rule actually was so they had to ask someone else what the call and/or the enforcement of the call should actually be. I guess he's saying the SEC officials are so stupid that someone off the field has to interpret the rules for them.

I read it as there was a flag thrown about intentional grounding, and picked up when some 'mystery dude' told them to pick it up. So I could see your explanation being true, but I could also people people running with it and saying "they picked it up to help team XX"

Was an odd story that seemed like a lot of drivel
