Ramon George

And even if it were, these would be put onto the training tapes.

The teams now under Vice President of Officiating Ramon George, the teams now get the officiating tapes.

So if they're instructed to do something, the teams know this.

The teams, uh, also get a tape specifically for them broken down by offense, defense, special teams.

Here it is, and then we'll talk about it.

breaking news just in just now the NFL confirmed that line judge Jeff Seaman has been suspended for two games and referee Adrian Hill has been suspended for one game each for an instance of unprofessional conduct toward a player in Sunday's Arizona Giants game the suspensions were issued today by NFL vice president officiating Ramon George those suspensions are in Related to those interactions yesterday, not a surprise.

They drew a visceral reaction across the league, and now the NFL has confirmed that those suspensions are official.

Those officials have been suspended.

Line Judge Jeff Seaman received a two-game suspension after apparently cursing out Cardinals tight end Trey McBride.

While referee Adrian Hill received a one-game suspension after yelling at Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson, the NFL VP of officiating Ramon George issued both punishments.

The issue has now been how officials treated players, not whether or not they made incorrect calls.

This does feel like maybe it is a boiling point being reached because we've talked over the years about how much officials tend to weather in terms of what they are talked to by coaches, by players down on the sideline.

Referee Adrian Hill has been suspended for one game, each for an incident of unprofessional conduct towards a player.

In Sunday's Arizona/New York Giants, that's Seiman, and Miami/Minnesota, that's Hill, the suspensions were issued by NFL Vice President of Offici- Officiating Ramon George.

There you go.

Good.

And referee Adrian Hill has been suspended for one game, each for an instance of unprofessional conduct toward a player in Sunday's Arizona Giants game.

The suspensions were issued today by NFL Vice President of Officiating Ramon George.

Those suspensions are in, related to those interactions yesterday.

Not a surprise.

The NFL confirmed that line judge Jeff Seaman has been suspended for two games and referee Adrian Hill has been suspended for one game each for an instance of unprofessional conduct toward a player in Sunday's Arizona Giants game.

The suspensions were issued today by NFL Vice President of Officiating Ramon George.

Those suspensions are in.

Related to those interactions yesterday, not a surprise.

Um, but then again, it's, it comes back to a question of enforcing these things where the appropriate sanction is a- is applied, and then the other part of it is do you worry as, as a, an administrator, as a vice president of officiating how this looks to the outside? Or are you getting pressure from the, you know, the C-suite level, the executive vice president of officiating, Troy Vison- Vincent, from Commissioner Roger Goodell? Are they pushing down and saying, "We don't like this look and, you know, you gotta sit them"? So, uh, put yourself in the, in the, uh, disciplinarian's chair, uh, for a minute as to, you know, how we handle this equitably.

Independent of upper management pressure, I'm sure the vice president of officiating, Ramon George, looked at that and went, "Yikes, this is not a good look for my staff, and there need to be consequences." So I think even independent of any suggestions from his bosses, George was going to hand out a consequence.

I can't speak for the discussions.

We don't know the discussions, and we don't need to know the discussions that happened between George and his bosses, but you f- I thought there were going to be, uh, consequences coming down.

So, uh, in 30 seconds that we have left there, Pat, um, again, you know, the sanction does seem to be a little bit harsh, and perhaps Adrian Hill is not suspended if not for the Jeff Seeman incident.

Yeah, you know, it doesn't help anybody when, you know, when all the stuff is, is very blatantly on video.

Um, I can't imagine Ramon George is gonna be very popular with the officials, uh, for the, for the n- n- near future.

Um, and yeah, to Mark's point, we'll see, we'll see what happens when players act out this weekend and going forward.

Uh, the ref, not my brother-in-law.

The officials were suspended each for instance of unprofessional conduct towards a player, and, uh, Ramon George, the league's vice president of officiating, levied the suspensions.

Seaman, the first guy, appeared to be saying, "Fuck you," to McBride in a moment caught by a camera on the sideline.

NFL, uh, you know, union guy, executive director J.C. Tretter called Seaman out in a post on Sunday night with the video of the incident.
