ESPN's Trent Dilfer & Steve Young Take on the NFL Replacement Refs

After the controversial ending of last night’s Monday Night Football game on ESPN, you may have switched the channel or have gone to bed angry. Judging from the overnight ratings, a good chunk of the audience stayed to see the postgame coverage on SportsCenter. But in case you went to bed and missed the discussion, here’s Stuart Scott, Trent Dilfer and Steve Young discussing the Green Bay Interception That Wasn’t.

Overall, ESPN did a very good job in covering the aftermath from postgame comments from Packers coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, plus getting perspective from insiders Chris Mortensen, Adam Schefter and John Clayton along with analysis from its cadre of ex-NFL’ers.

Steve Young had the strongest comments about the NFL replacement referees after last week’s MNF game between Denver and Atlanta came through once again last night. And Trent Dilfer also said the game insulted our collective intelligence. Thanks to the people at ESPN for posting this clip on YouTube so it could be embedded.

And when the NFL issues its one and only statement about the game, I’ll post it here.
