PHOENIX — Mike Pereira, the trailblazer in the trend of NFL rules experts on TV, thinks Aaron Rodgers has a point.
“I liked his logic, but it didn’t apply to me because I was already off the field and in the league office,” Pereira told The Post at Fox Sports’ Super Bowl 2023 media day on Tuesday. “He has a point. I do feel that officiating is under-appreciated from the standpoint of the league. I think the job I had [as head of officiating] is the second-most important job in the league. I give Roger Goodell the No.
“Listen, the best refs we’ve had in the league are on TV now,” Rodgers said. “They’re not working in the league office. They’re on TV. Gene Steratore, my favorite ref of all-time. I think one of the best guys at understanding how to interact with guys and how to communicate with them, and then how to control a game without being a part of it. Gene was incredible at that, but Gene is on TV now. Why? Because they pay more.
Fox Sports NFL rules expert Mike Pereira said that Aaron Rodgers has ‘a point’ about the exodus of strong NFL refs into the TV ranks.Rodgers called for the NFL to compensate its best referees at a level commensurate with their value.
