Bad calls in sports have been part of the deal from the get-go Minnesota Vikings T-Shirt , and the NFL is no exception.Most postseasons include a couple bad calls that may have made a difference in the outcome of the game - and therefore which team advances in the playoffs.Such has been the case again this year.What makes most bad calls all the more intolerable (unless your team benefits), is that they’re obviously bad calls - or bad non-calls - from the first replay for all in the stadium and TV audience to see.Except the referees.In many cases, a call or non-call is not reviewable and so the game continues regardless.There is an obvious fix.The NFL could add a video official to each officiating crew.That official would watch the game and replays from the booth, and communicate any bad or missed calls to the crew on the field.In many/most cases this may not take much longer than when officials have a conference on the field about a particular call.In some cases an official timeout may be necessary.In any case the video official would monitor the game and replays and communicate with the field crew when there is a clear and obvious error.This may also eliminate some of the coaches challenges Minnesota Vikings Hats , and/or allow the officiating crew to review them faster.Overall, on the downside there is the chance adding a video official slows down the game - depending on how many obvious officiating errors are made - but this was true about the current video reviews and coaches challenges before they were adopted.As near as I can tell, negative fan reaction about slower games due to video review hasn’tbeen a big issue.I think most fans view it as a worthwhile trade-off to get the call right.So, given the available technology and need Minnesota Vikings Hoodie , it would seem the time has come for a video official to be part of an NFL crew.The question is, will the NFL make the change?Vikings complete practice squad by signing Cole Hikutini After the signings on Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings had one open spot remaining on their practice squad. They’ve filled that spot with a player that spent his offseason with the team that the Vikings will face in Week 1.Which is totally coincidental, I’m sure.The Vikings have filled the last spot on their practice squad with the signing of tight end Cole Hikutini.Hikutini played his college football at the University of Louisville www.thevikingsfootballauthentic.com , and went undrafted after completing his college career in 2017. He signed with the 49ers and spent camp there in 2017 before being released and re-signed to the practice squad. He was promoted to the Niners’ active roster in October of last year, and had two receptions for 15 yards before going on injured reserve. He was back with the team this past preseason, but was part of the Niners’ final cutdown.The complete Vikings practice squad now looks like this:WR Jeff BadetWR Chad BeebeLB Reshard CliettDT Curtis CothranLB Garret DooleyC Cornelius EdisonG Colby GossettTE Cole HikutiniOT Storm NortonCB Jack TochoIt’s game week, ladies and gentlemen!
