Gronk says NFL officiating has been ‘up in the air,’ wants full-time employees
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
SAN FRANCISCO – NFL referees are under the biggest microscope they have ever been. With cameras from every angle and the slowest of motions possible, it’s quite easy to criticize officiating from the couch.
But Rob Gronkowski, who watches plenty of football as part of “NFL on FOX,” believes the league needs to do something to increase the quality of calls.
‘Officiating’s been up in the air. I don’t want to sit here and really criticize officiating because it’s really tough. It’s really tough to do that. It is a split second. You gotta make a call, throw a penalty flag, and kind of remember what you saw right on the spot. So it’s tough,” Gronkowski told Fox News Digital on radio row.

Gronkowski’s solution is one that you may not even know is a fact.
“I think officiating should, they should get paid very well and compensated well, and they should be full-time. From what I hear, they’re not full-time, and they have other jobs as well. That makes absolutely no sense,” Gronkowski said adamantly.

“This is a multi-billion-dollar industry. These officials need to be paid big dollars, but also they need to be putting the time and work in 24/7 throughout the whole year. Yeah, they can have a little time off in the summer, but they got to be around the game of football at all times. And I think that will help, you know, the game’s called in a better way because I don’t want to criticize, but there have been some absolutely terrible calls, and it’s very inconsistent… That needs to stop, and I think that would stop, you know, if they’re full-time.”
Officials found themselves in the limelight earlier this postseason during the Denver Broncos–Buffalo Bills divisional-round matchup. Brandin Cooks had a ball taken away from him by Broncos defensive back Ja’Quan McMillan after he seemingly completed the catch. The referees ruled it an interception, taking the ball away from the Bills. Buffalo was called for two defensive flags on Denver’s ensuing drive.

Goodell defended officials during his pre-Super Bowl LX press conference on Monday.
“I’m so amazed at how good our officials are. We spend time all week looking at various angles and still debating it a week later. These guys have to make a split-second decision, and the men and women on our field are incredible. I think they’ve proven over and over again they’re really wonderful at what they do,” he said.
“On the other hand, it’s a difficult sport to officiate. It’s fast. It’s quick. And we have to be able to use technology, in my view, to try to prevent the obvious errors. Now, they’re not all obvious. I think, depending on which team you’re for, they’re obvious in your eyes potentially. But at the end of the day, we see that if there’s an obvious error, we need to be able to fix it. And I think technology can help that.”

EDMONTON — Too fast, too organized, too good.
Whatever it is that mysteriously stops this Carolina Hurricanes system from winning enough playoff games clearly does not apply to one-off regular-season meetings, as the hottest team in the NHL cut through the Edmonton Oilers like a hot knife through butter Friday in a 6-3 win.
The Oilers were totally outclassed on home ice, as Anaheim pulled five points clear of Edmonton atop the Pacific.
Two wins in eight games will do that to a team.
“We need to put together wins,” said an exasperated head coach Kris Knoblauch, who is dangerously close to becoming that coach who just can’t figure it out. “We’ve only got 20 games left, and we’re on the brink of not making playoffs.
“We can’t just wait to find our game in the playoffs, because we need to ultimately get there. So we need to find another gear.”
Carolina outshot Edmonton 32-16 and outscored them two to one as well. It figures, as the Canes were at worst twice as good as Edmonton.
Edmonton has now allowed at least four goals in 10 of its past 12 games — 56 goals total in the past dozen outings. They are 5-7 in that span, which is surprisingly good, but the fact remains that Edmonton’s defensive game is simply nowhere close to a level that could make the playoffs, let alone win series.
“Nobody wants to get scored against. We’re not trying to go out there and trying to let in five every night,” pleaded two-goal man Zach Hyman after the game. “There’s an effort there to be better. We’ve talked about it, and it’s just a matter of going out there and doing it — doing your job and trusting that the other guy is going to do their job.
“I can’t give you a magic answer, otherwise we wouldn’t be 10 games allowing five goals a game or whatever it is. It’s everything. It’s lapses, I can’t give you the answer because if I could, we’d be doing it.”
Edmonton broke in three new players in this game, all trade deadline week acquisitions: defenceman Connor Murphy (minus-2), centre Jason Dickinson (plus-1) and winger Colton Dach (minus-3). None of the three had a point or a shot on goal, though Knoblauch thought the Dickinson line with Vasily Podkolzin and Kasperi Kapanen was his best unit.
The energy those new players provided was likely squared off by the learning curve and unfamiliarity of a trio of players wearing an Oilers jersey for the first time.
On the Hurricanes’ side, their only acquisition — tough winger Nick Deslauriers — wasn’t even in town. So, Carolina had the same lineup playing that tightly organized Hurricanes system, though the locker room could not have been pleased with general manager Eric Tulsky’s inactivity at the deadline.
“I know there’s a lot of disappointment, I’m going to be honest,” head coach Rod Brind’Amour said before the game. “(The players) were hoping to see us make a splash. It’s tough. We’re one of the best teams in the league right now. Teams are making deals to try to catch us, and to try to catch the teams that are ahead of them, and that is us.
“On one side, it would be nice to throw your chips in and see if you could improve your team,” he said. “But we love the group we have. If you’re (making moves), it means you’re going to be disrupting that chemistry that I think we’ve done pretty well here. It’s behind us, and we’ve got to move on.”
The Hurricanes are indeed one of the NHL’s best regular-season teams, tops in the league with a 15-2-3 record in their previous 20 games. They are organized with excellent system play, and support each other better than any team we’ve watched this season.
For whatever reason, it’s a game plan that doesn’t produce enough wins in the post-season. But in a one-off regular-season game, these Canes run a system that keeps them at or near the top of the tables most seasons.
Looming for Edmonton now is a killer road trip through Vegas, Colorado, Dallas and St. Louis (on a back-to-back) from which they could come home well out of touch with the top of the Pacific.
“You look at our division, and it’s right there for us,” Hyman said. “The optimism is that we’re a team that has been to the Cup Final back-to-back. We’re a really good team (with) the pieces that we’ve added. It’s just a matter of putting it together and doing it.
“We’ve got to try and not ride the roller coaster and believe in the processes and believe in the group we have.”
NHL Highlights, March 6
Against Wolves, the old guard did the job for Slot with Salah, Robertson and Jones sending Liverpool to victory.
The criticism and spotlight on Salah this season only intensified when he accused the club of “throwing me under the bus” in an explosive interview in December.
He left soon after for the Africa Cup of Nations, Egypt losing to Senegal in the semi-final in January, and the forward now has four goals in 11 games since his return.
Yet the 33-year-old has been nowhere near the levels he set last season, when he scored 34 goals in all competitions as Liverpool won their second Premier League title.
It was a lacklustre first half at Molineux from the forward before he added Liverpool‘s second – although such was the quality of Robertson’s cross he could not miss.
There does appear to have been a truce between Salah and the club, although every goal could be his last for them after a decorated Anfield career.
It was also a rare Robertson strike, in a rare start this season, with the 31-year-old close to leaving for Tottenham in January.
But the Scotland international showed his reliability – along with Jones, who continues to do the same.
Both the midfielder’s goals this season have come in the last two rounds of the FA Cup, having scored in the fourth-round win over Brighton as well.
At 25 Jones is far from old, but he has 215 appearances for Liverpool and the academy graduate has been dependable and valuable for both Klopp and Slot amid big money buys.
It means youngster Rio Ngumoha has the perfect place and perfect players to learn from after the 17-year-old made the fourth start of his young career.
“It’s special when you are 17 years old if you are able to impact it with some very good one-v-one situations,” said Slot. “That also makes him special, there are not many players in the modern game who do that.
“He also did better than three days ago because he kept the ball more. Three days ago he also had impact and today he was even better.
“It was a nice moment to use all his energy for the attacking part.”
The winner of Fabio Wardley vs Daniel Dubois could be in line for an immediate unification showdown, depending on whether Oleksandr Usyk keeps hold of his WBA title.
Wardley will make the first defence of his WBO title on May 9, taking on former IBF champion Dubois at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena.
The 31-year-old was elevated from ‘interim’ to full world champion following his 11th-round finish over Joseph Parker in October, with Usyk having vacated his WBO heavyweight strap.
Quite unexpectedly, it has since been announced that the Ukrainian will face kickboxing star Rico Verhoeven on May 23, defending his WBC title at Egypt’s Pyramids of Giza.
But while the WBC has confirmed its stance on the matter, it is yet to be announced whether Usyk will also be defending his IBF and WBA titles.
The division’s WBA ‘regular’ champion, meanwhile, is Murat Gassiev, who claimed his secondary strap with a sixth-round stoppage victory over Kubrat Pulev in December.
Despite previously losing a comprehensive points decision to Usyk at 200lbs, back in 2018, Gassiev has now reinvented himself as a solid heavyweight contender.
But rather than setting his sights on a rematch with the former three-time, two-division undisputed champion, the 32-year-old is instead targeting the winner of Wardley-Dubois.
Speaking with Sky Sports, Gassiev’s co-promoter, Al Siesta, believes this unification match could materialise if the WBA elevates his client to full world champion – either by stripping Usyk of the title or making him ‘champion in recess’.
“It is a similar situation to the WBO, who stripped Usyk when he decided not to face [mandatory challenger] Fabio Wardley.
“This allowed the division to progress and now we see a great fight with Wardley and Dubois in May – an amazing fight that we will be keeping a very close eye on.
“To face the winner in the UK would be a dream for Murat and I believe, whoever the winner is, would make for a blockbuster bout for Murat in the future.
“If the WBA title is not at stake for Usyk against Verhoeven, then it only makes logical sense to strip him of his title or make him a ‘champion in recess’. This would allow Murat to be elevated to ‘super’ champion.”
The winner of Wardley-Dubois would likely be made a sizable favourite against Gassiev, whose heavyweight campaign has not yet set the world alight.
Wales captain Dewi Lake says a win is just around the corner after an encouraging display in the 27-17 Six Nations defeat by Ireland in Dublin.
Wales’ losing Six Nations streak has now stretched to 15 matches, with the previous victory in the tournament coming against Italy in March 2023.
But this Dublin defeat was the finest performance in the Steve Tandy era so far, as Wales fell just short again.
Ireland head coach Andy Farrell said Wales were “tremendous and Ireland had been involved in a proper, dogged Test match”.
This performance follows the narrow 26-23 home loss to Scotland two weeks ago, with Wales facing Italy on the final weekend in Cardiff next Saturday.
Wales will bid to avoid the wooden spoon for the third successive Six Nations and try to claim a tournament win for the first time in almost 1,100 days.
“The win is coming, I can feel it, it is just around the corner,” said Lake.
Nigeria has not given up hope of returning to the race for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to the Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Mallam Shehu Dikko.
Dikko said the country is still waiting for an official decision from FIFA over a complaint linked to Nigeria’s World Cup qualification hopes.
Earlier this week, many fans believed the Super Eagles’ chances were over after FIFA released information about the upcoming intercontinental playoffs. In the announcement, the Democratic Republic of Congo appeared among the six teams expected to compete for the final two places at the tournament.
The development made many observers think Nigeria’s protest had already been rejected.
However, Dikko explained that the appearance of DR Congo in the list does not mean a final decision has been made.
He said Nigeria is still expecting FIFA’s official ruling and urged supporters to remain patient.
“As far as we know, FIFA has not yet announced its decision. We are watching the situation closely,” Dikko said.
“The fact that DR Congo appears on the list of teams for the playoff does not mean the case has been decided. Once FIFA releases its verdict, the situation may change.”
He also explained that in sensitive matters like this, FIFA normally communicates its decision directly to the parties involved before making it public.
According to him, Nigeria remains confident that the case will be resolved fairly.
Nigeria’s hopes of reaching the World Cup were damaged in November after the Super Eagles lost to DR Congo in a tense playoff match decided by penalties.
After the match, the Nigeria Football Federation submitted a complaint to FIFA, claiming that DR Congo used players who were not eligible for the game.
If FIFA rules in Nigeria’s favour, the result of the match could be reviewed and Nigeria may get another chance to compete for a place at the tournament.
For now, six countries are expected to compete in the intercontinental playoff tournament scheduled to take place in Mexico later this month.
Meanwhile, the Super Eagles are preparing for international friendly matches during the March break as they continue their preparations while waiting for FIFA’s final decision.
Ireland claimed a bonus-point 27-17 win over Wales in the Guinness Six Nations at the Aviva Stadium on Lansdowne Road on Friday night.
Opening half tries for Stockdale and Crowley, along with five-pointers from Conan and Osborne in the second half, saw Ireland claim their 60th win over Wales, in this the 137th meeting between the two countries.
Ireland score early
Ireland got on the board early with a try from Jacob Stockdale. The Lurgan winger crossed for the five-pointer with only five minutes on the clock. Touching down just marginally right of the right-hand post presented Jack Crowley with an easy conversion attempt, which he comfortably slotted over for a 7-0 Ireland lead.

Jack Conan thought he had scored his side’s second try of the night when beating two Welsh defenders to touch down in the 12th minute. Just as Crowley was about to kick the conversion, the referee Karl Dickson decided to consult with his TMO, Andrew Jackson. The decision was that front row Tom O’Toole had knocked the ball on at the back of the ruck, meaning the try was disallowed.
Edwards gets Wales on scoreboard
Dan Edwards had an easy effort to register the visitors’ first score of the game with a penalty kick from directly in front of the posts. The Ospreys’ kicker succeeded in reducing the deficit and brought his side to within four points of Ireland, with 17 minutes played.
Crowley touches down
Jack Crowley found himself in a two-on-one situation, played a dummy, and took the five points. The try, his fourth international try, pushed Ireland into a 12-3 lead. The Corkman missed the conversion which followed, however.

Wales close the gap
With the match clock past 40 minutes, Wales scored a try against the run of play. Front row, Rhys Carre of Saracens, showed quite a turn of foot for a prop, and scored despite the best efforts of Robert Baloucoune.
With Dan Edwards adding the extras, Ireland only took a two-point advantage into the dressing room at the break, leading 12-10
Ireland dominated the possession with 65%, the territory with 60%, made 93% of their tackles and covered 286 metres in the first half but will have felt disappointed heading to the dressing room at half-time with just a slender two-point lead.
Half-time score: Ireland 12 Wales 10
Jack Conan touched down early in the second period. The referee, Karl Dickson, again checked the validity of this score with his TMO, Andrew Jackson.

Jack Conan was denied by the TMO in the first half, and nearly again here, but he has his try and Ireland lead 19-10.

Conan Try
It took some time for the English referee to decide to award the score, but to the delight of the fans behind the posts, Conan’s try was confirmed. Crowley successfully kicked his second of three conversion attempts by that stage of the game, as Ireland moved into a 19-10 lead.
Wales hit back through Cardiff Rugby’s James Botham. The grandson of former England cricketer, Ian, the flanker crashed over left of the Irish posts following a period of relentless pressure from the visitors.
Try Wales!
Relentless pressure on the Irish line and eventually James Botham makes it count – Ireland lead by two points.

Dan Edwards added another conversion for the night to bring his side to within two points of the hosts. It was 19-17 with 16 minutes remaining on the stadium clock.
This seemed to be the warning Ireland required. Pressure from the hosts eventually saw fullback Jamie Osborne claim his fifth international try.

Despite a relatively easy conversion effort, Crowley missed his second kick at goals, as Ireland took a 24-17 advantage into the final 11 minutes of this Guinness Six Nations fixture.

At long last, Maxx Crosby is being traded. The longtime Las Vegas Raiders Pro Bowl pass rusher is being traded to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for 2026 and 2027 first-round picks, as confirmed by CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones after the two teams agreed to the deal on Friday night. The Raiders will now possess the 14th overall pick in April’s draft, a pick that was formerly held by Baltimore. The deal will not be official until the start of the new league year on March 11.
The Dallas Cowboys — who famously traded away Pro Bowl pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Packers last offseason in exchange for two future first-round picks — reportedly offered first- and second-round picks to the Raiders. The Ravens, however, ultimately landed Crosby after coming in with a better offer. By making this move, the Ravens traded away their first-round pick to acquire another player for the first time in the franchise’s 31-year history.
Crosby, 28, is heading to a Ravens team that was tied for 28th in the NFL in sacks last season. Baltimore’s lack of a pass rush was one of the central reasons why the Ravens posted a disappointing 8-9 record. The Ravens — who desperately want to maximize the remaining prime years of quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry — responded by firing former Super Bowl-winning coach John Harbaugh and replacing him with Jesse Minter, who won a national title as an assistant coach at Michigan in 2023 before having two successful seasons as the Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator.
In Crosby, the Ravens are getting one of the best pass rushers of this era. A 2019 fourth-round pick, Crosby has been named to the Pro Bowl in each of the last five years. He led the NFL in tackles for loss during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Last season, he tallied 10 sacks and a career-high 28 tackles for loss in 15 games.
Crosby is joining a talented Ravens defense that also includes defensive backs Kyle Hamilton and Nate Wiggins, linebacker Roquan Smith and defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike.
Crosby is third all-time in Raiders history with 69.5 sacks. He played a key role in the 2021 Raiders’ clinching the franchise’s first playoff berth in five years. But the team has been unable to sustain that level of success, something that undoubtedly led to Crosby wanting a change of scenery despite his affinity for the silver and black.
Crosby is going to an AFC North division that also includes two of the NFL’s other premier pass rushers in the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ T.J. Watt and the Cleveland Browns‘ Myles Garrett. In fact, Crosby has 29 more quarterback pressures than the next-closest player, Garrett.
It came at a price, but the Ravens got their coveted pass rusher. The Raiders, in exchange, received two future first-round picks that should jumpstart the start of Klint Kubiak’s run in Las Vegas. The Raiders also have the No. 1 overall pick in April’s draft, a pick they are expected to use to select former Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
What’s next for the Cowboys?
While they were outbid for Crosby by Baltimore, there are still several other notable pass rushers the Cowboys can pursue in free agency. In fact, there are a host of noteworthy pass rushers that are slated to be available when the league’s legal tampering period opens on Monday.
One player to keep an eye on is Trey Hendrickson, who in 2024 led the NFL with 17.5 sacks. From 2021-24, Hendrickson recorded a whopping 57 sacks while helping the Bengals win one AFC title and two division titles over that span.
Rashan Gary is another name to monitor. While he’s never had a monster season as far as sacks are concerned, he was extremely consistent during his first seven seasons with the Packers. Over that span, Gary recorded 46.5 sacks, which included 9 sacks in 2023 and 7.5 sacks in each of the last two seasons.
Other pass rushers the Cowboys may pursue include ageless wonder Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa, Jonathan Greenard, Leonard Floyd, Odafe Oweh, and Cameron Jordan, who is slated to enter free agency following a Hall of Fame-caliber, 15-year run with the New Orleans Saints.
Back from an effective riding engagement in Japan, Rachel King turns her attention to the Sydney autumn carnival, highlighting her partnership with the barely raced three-year-old gelding Green Spaces in the Randwick Guineas.
King’s high opinion of the Bjorn Baker runner led her to interrupt her Japanese trip to trial the gelding before continuing abroad.
She missed his Hobartville Stakes (1400m) return due to Hobartville Stakes commitments overseas, but will be in place for the Group 1 on Saturday.
“I flew back from Japan halfway through my trip especially to trial him,” King said.
“I’ve got a lot of confidence in the horse. He’s very casual and he only does what he has to, but I think there is a lot more under the bonnet than what we’ve seen so far.”
Having impressed with a strong win in Newcastle’s Spring Stakes (1600m) last November, Green Spaces dulled to sixth when weakening in the Hobartville.
According to King, excess freshness caused him to race too forward, and now cleared, she looks for improved relaxation this time.
“He was a bit fresh and put himself too close, when he needed to be getting back and running on to show his best,” King said.
“He’s still an inexperienced young horse, so it won’t have done him any harm to get in amongst them and realise what this better racing is all about. Toughen him up a bit.
“He will naturally be more relaxed second-up and want to go to sleep that bit more.
“We will look for him to be doing his best work at the end.”
King envisions a Derby suited to Green Spaces’ nature long-term, pending results from his next couple of races.
She also has the mount on Encap, prepared by Gary Portelli, in the Canterbury Stakes (1600m), emphasising the longshot’s Doncaster credentials.
“He’s one of those who is nearly forgotten most races, and he always bobs up in the finish,” she said.
“He’s a beautiful horse to ride. He has his own way of doing things and you’ve got to let him do his thing.
“But geez, he can rattle off some good sectionals late and hopefully fresh, he’s ready to go, which he looks like he is.”
In good touch, King notched midweek wins at Warwick Farm on Wednesday before Randwick.

Carl Froch has revealed he was receptive to an offer on the table for a comeback fight.
The Hall of Fame Brit has been retired since 2014, ending his career with a statement stoppage of countryman George Groves at Wembley Stadium. Though content in retirement, Froch has let his fighting spirit almost convince him to return on a number of occasions.
His latest flirtation with a comeback centres around John Fury, the father of former heavyweight champion Tyson, and a fiery encounter at a recent press conference. Fury took issue with past comments from Froch, and called him out for a fight.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Froch on Fighting, the former super-middleweight world champion revealed that talks behind the scenes to stage the fight did, somewhat surprisingly, make progress, but he believes Fury, 60, has now backed down.
“I need to mention Big John Fury, the fighting man … He’s been given the opportunity to fight ‘The Cobra’ … It’s gone to the stage where the broadcasters are quite interested. He’s making unreasonable demands now about getting Tommy Fury on before him and me.
“He’s basically put a blockade in there with his son, Tommy. Which is ridiculous, because, let’s be honest, nobody gives a s**t about Tommy fighting. We watched him against [Jake] Paul and he’s done nothing since. He pulled out against Darren Till and done f**k all since. It’s Big John Fury running his mouth, big gobs***e, making a nuisance of himself. Then he’s been offered the opportunity … John Fury has got no intentions of fighting anybody, including myself. He’s the option put in front of him, it’s going to be seven figures and he’s made an excuse, and talked his way out of it.”
The fight – for better or worse – did have the potential to land on a Misfits promotion, or something similar, however now looks to be dead in the water.
