This is absolutely ridiculous. An official is going out of his way to criticize a player? In thirty plus years of paying attention to sports -- probably paying much more attention than is healthy -- I can't remember an official publicly criticizing a player like this. There are certain lines that should not be crossed, and this is one of them. Reading through the article, the comments appear snarky and immature at best, and it wouldn't be hard for a team to read bias into them. What business is it of an official if Michigan's defense is poor, if LSU's is confused, or if -- and this is the best -- the best quarterback in the land "disconnect(s)" from the game? How exactly is this disconnection measured? If I were in charge, these officials would be found and fired. No questions asked.
