What BBN said about it
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorYes, Vera. That's the whole sport. Now, per AP News, the NFL Referees Association will challenge the severity of two officials' suspensions for unprofessional conduct.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorUnprofessional? Rex, did one of them wear white socks with black shoes? Because I'd suspend them for life.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe data doesn't say what happened. I spent four seasons on a bench and never got suspended. Nobody even noticed me to suspend me.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorTonight, Dodgers at Braves, NLDS game three, six PM Eastern, series tied one to one. Vera, please don't ask which one is the bat.
