Area Dad Doesn’t Like Where Referee Spotted Football

ST. PAUL, MN—Complaining that the officials need to learn the damn rules, 44-year-old local dad Mark Bogdanski expressed both doubt and frustration Sunday over where the referee spotted the football. “They gave him a whole extra yard there—what are these refs even looking at?” said Bogdanski, adding that the referees are pretty much gifting the other team a first down with such a generous spot. “Don’t give me that bull about forward progress either, because his knee was down almost a full yard back. You have to challenge that call—that should be fourth down.” At press time, Bogdanski was angrily muttering under his breath after officials had upheld the ruling on the field upon reviewing the play.
