Today I read an article "Officials get standing ovation" on the ESPN website by the associated press. The article was talking about how the refs had made an agreement and ended the lockout. They also talked about how the refs had made better decisions then the replacement refs and that none of the calls were wrongly given. A little before the game had started between the Ravens and the Browns, the officials got a standing ovation by the entire stadium. Ray Lewis, Ravens leading linebacker, before the game came up to one of the officials and gave him a hug saying "glad to have you back".
I personally am overwhelmed with joy that the officials are back, They have the most experience and they are confident in the decisions that they make. They deserved a standing ovation, numerous amounts of calls affected games that were made by the replacement officials. Obviously fans are still going to boo and hate on calls, but that's part of what makes the game so great.
