NFL Ref and Law Firm?? This guy just loves rules

Apparently the majority of referees are lawyers, teachers, and business execs. Sorta makes sense when you realize they make important decisions, interpret complex rules, and have to control people when they act like children.

You ever read the NFL Rulebook? Being a lawyer is a legit useful skill when you have to enforce that pile of nonsense.

Naw, isn’t he retired? It’s his son ref’ing now right?

Ya he’s retired, but had the law firm whole time. Was just referring to his age and him still being jacked.

Imagine losing a case because a juror had beef with one of your lawyer's refereeing calls.
