Second time this year I need a new starter word

[Ben Austro @BenAustro]

A quick point of personal privilege, if you don't mind. The talented work of @camfilipe135 and @chrisseubert is behind this year's designs for the referee assignments. Excellent job by my crew mates! 😗🤌

@MrBowtie1982 Got them. Everything is under review still, because we had to drop everything for the past few days

[Ben Austro @BenAustro]

@MrBowtie1982 Just seeing this now. Many thanks, Greg, for your kind words. Sorry to hear about the loss of your dad, and I hope that your memories continue to help you through those times when you need it

And so it has happened. I have now crossed the BCL as well. I'm embracing this milestone by heading off to a swimming pool with strange rocks. —@BenAustro 👴🛸

@kengfunk @AndrewBrandt I have to say that for a solid half of a second, I thought you were referencing the old Star-Ledger fishing columnist Howard Brandt

@EricStangel This is all the evidence needed to declare you legally insane

Congratulations, Art McNally! Canton bound!
Officials are Hall of Famers, too.
We have waited so long for this moment, and hopefully there's not a long wait for the second official.

[ Fᴏᴏᴛʙᴀʟʟ Zᴇʙʀᴀs🇺🇦 @footballzebras]

A good start, @ProFootballHOF. And a long way to go to catch up.

[Ben Austro @BenAustro]

@premiumbusiness My application has been pending since August, but the guidelines state that it should be a matter of weeks to have a decision either way. Is there anything else for me and my fellow @footballzebras writers need to do?

[ Fᴏᴏᴛʙᴀʟʟ Zᴇʙʀᴀs🇺🇦 @footballzebras]

3 officials were off the field on Sunday, leaving their crews shorthanded. This appears to be an unprecedented situation.
