Scab Ref Tells LeSean McCoy – ‘I Need You For My Fantasy Team’

Alright, this is getting ridiculous. I hate that we don't have actual NFL quality refs yet this year. But as Deadspin pointed out, it's not their fault. It's the leagues fault. So far it seems like they're trying to hold their own. If this story is true though...we've got a greater problem than previously thought. According to Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy, a scab ref told him something that should never have been thought much less uttered to a player by a referee. 

From Deadspin:

Eagles running back LeSean McCoy went on 94WIP in Philadelphia yesterday, and touched on how the refs tend to be intimidated and influenced by players and crowds. Not a surprise—this week, 14 of 16 home teams won their games. But he also gave an example of how the replacement refs seem more like contest winners than hardened employees.

"They're like fans, kind of though. I'll be honest, they're like fans. One of the refs was talking about his fantasy team, like ‘McCoy, come on, I need you for my fantasy [team].'"

Hey, Roger! Stop screwing with the game, man!!!
