This is the tale about having replacement referees who apparently don’t mind showing they are probably more fans of the NFL than professional officials.

First we hear of the replacement ref who was about to work the Saints’ game only to be pulled off the field during warm-ups when ESPN reported to the NFL that the official had Facebook pictures up of himself tailgating at a Saints’ preseason game wearing a Saints’ jersey.
