Some will say that Schefter is making the claim that the officials are biased because they live in the same area as the Rams. Only lazy journalists who've already decided how they're going to react would come to that conclusioin. When I read the article, it is about nothing more than people saying that:
"The league needs to avoid any appearance of bias and should take that in to consideration when assigning Referess."
"The NFL put [itself] in a bad situation," one officiating source told ESPN. "This is stuff that has to be taken care of prior to game. It's just guys not thinking of what's going on, nobody doing their checks and balances. The league is usually pretty much on top of it. This is one that slipped through the cracks."
