Loved this video, and almost forgot about this game until this video jogged my memory. This game was insanity, on so many levels. Pure incompetence.

Puts into perspective the amount we bitch about the refs nowadays.

Sounds like this game was the reason they stopped serving glass bottles at NFL games.

I was at the Monday night football Jets/Bills Pumpkin game in 1988. It was scary. Fights all over the stadium, fires throughout the stands. It was brutal, and the beginning of beer not being sold after halftime.

We want the pumpkin!

Jesus, that's worse than when we had to deal with the replacement refs a few years ago.

Sounds insane, I tried finding a video of the game but to no avail. Perhaps WCBF can help me out with this internet thing. I was, however, able to dig up this old article.

Great times. What happened to the world, zebras nowadays know nothing bad will happen to them when they fuck up calls or try and grandstand throwing pointless flags.

You know in these divided times in our country I believe the one thing everyone can agree, from the far-left to the far-right, is that refs suck and given the opportunity we would all love to pelt them with glass bottles when they blow an illegal formation on a kneeldown play going into half or flag a linebacker 15 yards for accidentally bumping into the quarterback. Maybe a good old fashioned mob beatdown of some smug NFL referees can be what brings us all together?

Very low-T post here. No self-respecting man should ever defend referees as a whole.

It's one thing to defend them but another to advocate violence against them.
Have you been mailing those fake bombs at liberals lately?

Wow you condone acts of violence against refs simply because they make the wrong call. What a wonderful person you must be.
