Dean Blandino’s Joke Was Not Funny

Published:
Dean Blandino, the NFL’s head of officiating who was once caught on Jerry Jones’ party bus, thought it would be hilarious to joke about Dez Bryant’s infamous blown catch call after Dez, a real receiver with actual hands, caught his touchdown against the Eagles last night.
It’s rare that someone is able to piss off two fan bases with a single hashtag, but Blandino appears to have done that here – Eagles fans who thought he was siding with the Cowboys, and Cowboys fans who remember the blown call all too well – as well as generating a collective eye roll from everyone else who sees that lousy officiating is making NFL games unwatchable. #funny
