The national cry over mediocre officiating continues after yesterday's Super Bowl:

Kansas City Star
Paul Tagliabue’s league has an officiating crisis. Bogus, inconsistent flag-throwing and rule-interpreting is making the national pastime difficult to take seriously.

Washington Post

ESPN

Fox Sports

Boston Sports.net
