There will be some change amongst the NFL officials next season, as the league has fired three officials heading into the 2025 season. Per Football Zebras, the three officials that were dismissed were done so in an unprecedented manner.
Typically NFL officials that are dismissed are free to seek new officiating jobs on their own. The NFL decided to return them to the college ranks, as the three officials will work in the Power 4 conferences next season. The officials who were relegated second-year umpire James Carter, third-year line judge Robin DeLorenzo, and first-year down judge Robert Richeson.
Carter was an alternate official for the wild-card round in 2024 while DeLorenzo didn’t qualify to officiate a playoff game in her eligible seasons. Richeson wasn’t eligible for the playoffs as a first-year official. It’s uncertain if the three officials can enter the redevelopment program and work their way back into the league, since this move to relegate officials has never been done.
The NFL has put on emphasis on data analysis as a way to evaluate officials, as the league is looking at improvement over the course of the season when deciding whether to retain or advance officials.
All three officials did accept the league’s offer for relegation, which will bypass the union and the grievance process. The NFL having the ability to relegate college officials — if the officials accept the offer — could also be part of a new development program for promotion for current college officials to get into the NFL.
Of course, those college officials have to go through the development process.

Craque Neto aponta time ‘perseguido’ pela imprensa no Brasil
Craque Neto no comando do "Os Donos da Bola" (Reprodução - YouTube) O Craque Neto voltou a subir o tom contra a imprensa alegando que há uma conduta diferente na divulgação das dívidas do Corinthians no comparativo com outros clubes. No “Os Donos da Bola” desta terça (29), o apresentador ficou na bronca após novas informações sobre o aumento do déficit alvinegro. Na avaliação dele, a ampliação da dívida ainda precisa ser provada, e independente das cifras, existem equipes rivais que também estão mergulhadas em despesas, como o SPFC, Atlético-MG e Santos, mas o cenário é pouco abordado pela mídia. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Eu sei o quanto o SPFC deve, tintim por tintim, deve R$ 1 bilhão. Isso é tanta incompetência quanto o Corinthians. Todo mundo incompetente. Não tem diferença.

The Magic will need to get creative this offseason to build on strong foundation
BOSTON — It seems perfectly appropriate that the final game of the Orlando Magic’s 2024-25 season — a 120-89 loss Tuesday night to the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series— revealed the team’s positives and negatives in one fell swoop.For one half Tuesday night, as well as for the four full games that preceded it, the Magic battled the reigning NBA champions toe-to-toe and at times outplayed the more experienced Celtics. The perceived star potential of Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, the quality of the team’s defense and the team’s effort all met, or even exceeded, expectations. There’s no doubt the Celtics are the better team, but the Magic made the Celtics’ 4-1 series victory a tough one. The Magic showed they have a foundation they can build on.AdvertisementBut the final 22 minutes of Game 5 […]
Casagrande não descarta campeão da Copa do Brasil: “Pode chegar”
Casagrande, comentarista e ex-jogador (Reprodução) Walter Casagrande é sempre muito contundente em suas manifestações. Desta vez, o ex-jogador assegurou que o Corinthians não teria chances de brigar pelo Brasileirão, isso porque acredita que o elenco chega a ser inferior a outras equipes do futebol brasileiro. Por outro lado, Casão entende ser possível que o Timão possa alcançar resultados melhores, por exemplo, na Copa do Brasil. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Corinthians tem um time que, completo, é muito bom, competitivo, mas não é para ganhar o Campeonato Brasileiro. Não tem o elenco do Palmeiras, Flamengo, Internacional… é um time para Copas. Copa do Brasil? Talvez, mas não para um campeonato regular”, analisou Casagrande. Com Dorival Júnior agora no comando, o comentarista ‘torce’ para o treinador conseguir ajustar um problema que parece crônico: o sistema defensivo.
