In-the-stands officials

>From an Associated Press article on the recent criticism of NFL officiating, Sunday, January 19, 2003, headline:

Tunney says don't throw a flag at NFL officiating

For 31 years, Jim Tunney pulled on a striped shirt, stuffed a penalty flag in his pocket and officiated NFL games. He might have missed a call or two along the way, but there weren't many complaints, certainly nothing like the uproar created in the first two weeks of the playoffs.

<SNIP>

Tunney once was asked about fans and the abuse they heap on officials.

"He'll scream from the 60th row of bleachers that you missed a marginal call in the center of the interior line," the ex-ref said of a heckler. "And then he won't be able to find his car in the parking lot."
