    For the lawyers out there. Can we build a case claiming lost earnings due to improper interpration / application of league bylaws?

    How can you distinguish this year's performance vs every other year? People are focused on pointing out every mistake the refs make while not considering regular refs will make a certain amount of mistakes as well.

    What earnings have you lost? Regardless of the replacement refs inadequacy, you are still able to deal with bets - correct?

    It did negatively affect fantasy.

    Packers defense went from +2 to -3 in my league. Tate also got a bogus 8.5 pts.

    That call shifted approx. $150M to $200M from group to another

    Blown calls are accounted components of the equation. Now what happens if the league reverses a week from now? That'd be fun.

    Are you going to use the Ed Hacolly call and the Tom Brady tuck rule as evidence?

    How about negligence on the part of the NFL for placing unqualified officials in the line of fire? Semi-pro sports gambling is a big industry.

    Vegas knew who was officiating before they set the line. Nothing you can do.

    Game Rewind refund?

    What about a class action lawsuit for people demanding their money back for the NFL Game Rewind package? I called but they won't do it outside of 7 days.
