There must be like another million and two other questions like this. And how many times do I have to say it ... just wait till World Cup is over and I'll tell you the asnwer!!!! \n\nIf you have to know now anyway ... it's FIFA is the big winner here. You do the maths, how much money goes in their pocket through tickets (how much are the tickets??!!), broadcast license, sponsors, other endorsements, etc? \n\nAll these money, for some lousy referees!!!!

The game is football, not which team gets the better calls. The officiating in any game should not determine or even have influence in the outcome of the game. The Steelers won fair a square but questionable calls will forever taint the title of the best team in the NFL for the 05-06 season.

Nope.\n\nThis was the worst officiating I have ever seen.  It actually makes me wonder if the game was fixed.\n\nThe "push off" was b.s.  \nThe "hold" they called against Seattle when they got a completion to the one yard line was b.s.\nWhen Rothlisberger ran to the left to get a first down and the wide receiver (no 86) was holding the cornerback.  No call.  b.s.\nI couldn't care less who won the game, but I hate to see the pathetic officiating.

Officials' Jurisdictions, Positions, and Duties\nReferee—General oversight and control of game. Gives signals for all fouls and is final authority for rule interpretations. Takes a position in backfield 10 to 12 yards behind line of scrimmage, favors right side (if quarterback is right-handed passer). Determines legality of snap, observes deep back(s) for legal motion. On running play, observes quarterback during and after handoff, remains with him until action has cleared away, then proceeds downfield, checking on runner and contact behind him. When runner is downed, Referee determines forward progress from wing official and, if necessary, adjusts final position of ball. \nOn pass plays, drops back as quarterback begins to fade back, picks up legality of blocks by near linemen. Changes to complete concentration on quarterback as defenders approach. Primarily responsible to rule on possible roughing action on passer and if ball becomes loose, rules whether ball is free on a fumble or dead on an incomplete pass. \n\nDuring kicking situations, Referee has primary responsibility to rule on kicker’s actions and whether or not any subsequent contact by a defender is legal. The Referee stays wide and parallel on punts and will announce on the microphone when each period has ended. \n\nUmpire—Primary responsibility to rule on players’ equipment, as well as their conduct and actions on scrimmage line. Lines up approximately four to five yards downfield, varying position from in front of weakside tackle to strongside guard. Looks for possible false start by offensive linemen. Observes legality of contact by both offensive linemen while blocking and by defensive players while they attempt to ward off blockers. Is prepared to call rule infractions if they occur on offense or defense. Moves forward to line of scrimmage when pass play develops in order to insure that interior linemen do not move illegally downfield. If offensive linemen indicate screen pass is to be attempted, Umpire shifts his attention toward screen side, picks up potential receiver in order to insure that he will legally be permitted to run his pattern and continues to rule on action of blockers. Umpire is to assist in ruling on incomplete or trapped passes when ball is thrown overhead or short. On punt plays, Umpire positions himself opposite Referee in offensive backfield—5 yards from kicker and one yard behind. \n\nHead Linesman—Primarily responsible for ruling on offside, encroachment, and actions pertaining to scrimmage line prior to or at snap. Generally, keys on closest setback on his side of the field. On pass plays, Linesman is responsible to clear his receiver approximately seven yards downfield as he moves to a point five yards beyond the line. Linesman’s secondary responsibility is to rule on any illegal action taken by defenders on any delay receiver moving downfield. Has full responsibility for ruling on sideline plays on his side, e.g., pass receiver or runner in or out of bounds. Together with Referee, Linesman is responsible for keeping track of number of downs and is in charge of mechanics of his chain crew in connection with its duties. \n\nLinesman must be prepared to assist in determining forward progress by a runner on play directed toward middle or into his side zone. He, in turn, is to signal Referee or Umpire what forward point ball has reached. Linesman is also responsible to rule on legality of action involving any receiver who approaches his side zone. He is to call pass interference when the infraction occurs and is to rule on legality of blockers and defenders on plays involving ball carriers, whether it is entirely a running play, a combination pass and run, or a play involving a kick. Also assists referee with intentional grounding. \n\nLine Judge—Straddles line of scrimmage on side of field opposite Linesman. Keeps time of game as a backup for clock operator. Along with Linesman is responsible for offside, encroachmen

MINIMUM PLAYER SALARY \n\nWhat is the new minimum NHL player salary?\n\nThe minimum NHL player salary in 2005-06 and 2006-07 will be $450,000; $475,000 in 2007-08 and 2008-09; $500,000 in 2009-10 and 2010-11, and $525,000 in 2011-12 (to the extent the CBA is extended by the Union).\n\nWhat happens with players who have contracts for 2005-06 for less than the minimum salary?\n\nThe player's contract may be bought out. If the contract is not bought out, his salary must be increased to the League minimum.\n\nhere is the site of all players salaries for the 2006-07 season.\n\nhttp://www.nhlpa.com/thePlayers/index.asp

Each player in the wild-card playoff round earns $17,000 and another $19,000 for the divisional playoff round. Each player in the AFC championship game makes $37,000.\n\nThe winner of the Super Bowl then makes another $73,000, while the loser earns $38,000.\n\nWith the contracts today, this is probably less than just about everyone's per-game paycheck during the regular season.

It isn't new man. The just played Arena Bowl 20. It is just now getting more popular and there are now alot of independent league. The Arena Football League itself though is kinda old though. Anyway they make little in the AFL and even less in independent leagues. For example we have an indepenent league around here, the American Indoor Football Association(just changed from the AIFL, the L was League) and the players make $300 for a win and $250 for a loss. So in a season they make less then the league minimum for a rookie, heck the rookie proably can make almost as much in a game. So if you can't cut it in trhe NFL but love football and are good then you drop to the Arena football league.

Badminton uses a judge I think. I think Volletball does as well. Tennis may also have a judge to watch the net and serves. Not 100% on this. Football has the Refferee but also has a back judge, line judge, field judge and side judges. Each official in American football watches a different part of the field to ensure no penalties take place. They are usually very good about their jobs except during Superbowls like this last catastrophe Superbowl 40. YUCK!!!!

Oh please. I'm a huge Seahawks fan, and I'm here to say: JUST GET OVER IT!!!! We got beat by the better team. The Hawks played one good quarter and then sucked after that. The officials had nothing to do with the third quarter touchdown and that final, razzle-dazzle play. There was no "conspiracy" by the NFL so Bettis could go out a winner. That is just simply ludicrous and stupid. The best teams--like the Steelers--simply win, they don't sit around and complain about the officials.

I am not, but there is one individual in LA who was reported to have season tickets at $3000 for the season. His yearly salary is $10,000. I give him props as the biggest fan of any team. That was reported on ESPN, Mike & Mike in the morning, Cold Pizza, and PTI, all ESPN shows.

it sucks...people responded poorly to my question as well....I DON'T WANT OFFICIALS TO BE CALLED ON DURING THE GAME...let them make their bad calls..they're gonna do that anyway...but if they make a GAME deciding call and it is controversial...get the press conference and make them  defend it...and justify or apologize for the bad call...

MLB has the highest average salaries, I believe, at $2.5-$3 million.  The NFL has average salaries close to $1.5 million.  The NBA and NHL are also in the $1-2 million range.  I'm quoting these from memory, as I've seen the numbers before, but they may have changed since I read the article.\n\nNote that the best players get payed quite a bit more than that (some are over $20 million).  All of the leagues have minimum salaries in the $300k-$500k range.
