    Is Red Cashion too old for the networks?

    Wasn't it the replay refs who got it wrong?

    Carey was made to look stupid even though he was correct.

    Dean Blandino tweeted that the refs got it right.

    I was surprised it was reversed.

    He did it from the Cowboys' party bus.

    FWIW, was once told by an ex-player turned broadcaster that Carey was all about getting his face on TV.

    Then he should have gotten more training before accepting a TV job. Being on TV is not easy, even though a lot of people think it is because there are a lot of really stupid people who are good at it.

    Pereira is as polished as they get. Is he always right? Of course not, but he offers good insight.

    Carey has no confidence being on TV and it shows. He can get better though.

    The referees are given so much notoriety because they are the guys on camera giving the final call but they are the vast majority of the time just relaying the information from the others who made the call.

    Every time I've watched him, his timing has been awful; whereas Pereira has been smooth; its probably more production than Carey but he gets the blame.

    I would love to see Cashen get this type of gig.

    Red's probably a little long in the tooth to be getting a job like this. I think he's in his 80s.
