One Replacement Official Told LeSean McCoy He Needed Him for His Fantasy Team

Oh no!
On Sunday, replacement officials initially ruled that a 10-yard pass by Michael Vick was a fumble. They also threw the “blue beanie” turnover flag to call offensive pass interference. Incompetent, but kind of lovable. Like kittens playing with a ball of yarn.
This next one, though, is not so adorably silly. Actually, it’s quite shocking.
Last night on WIP’s Players Lounge, LeSean McCoy told Anthony Gargano and Ike Reese the following: [CBS Philly]
“During the game, they made a bad call or something. I see Ray Lewis pump his chest up or something and walk over to the ref, trying to scare him. Don’t you know he (the ref) started stuttering. I’m like, what’s this? I’ll be honest, though. They’re like fans. Refs are talking about their fantasy teams. They’re like, “McCoy, I need you for my fantasy.” I’m like, what?!”
This sounds like it would be a Bud Light commercial. Want your chance for the ultimate NFL fantasy experience? Drink new Bud Light Kumquat Twist with Pimms and be entered for a chance to officiate an NFL regular season game! You decide the outcome… like a choose your own adventure book. Only sports. Put your players in the best position to win! Must be 21 to enter. No experience necessary. Actually, it’s better if you don’t know the rules– this way you can really just make shit up as you go along!
