The conspiracy of NFL judges helping Kansas City Chiefs has been one of the most important topics of conversation that led to the Super Bowl Lix.
Fox Sports Rules Analyst and former Vice President to officating for NFL, Mike Pereira, joined “Fox & Friends” on Friday to weigh on the discussion.
“I mean, I think I would say what [NFL Commissioner] Roger Goodell said as I try not to use hard words. I understand why they think that because the number points to the fact that different and IFFY calls appear to have gone the Chiefs way, but thinking that there is intention is really ridiculous and that is the expression that Roger used, “Pereira said.

“The officials are out just to control the game and they have to make decisions in a 26th of a second and therefore they have no time to take into account who I understand the concern but it really doesn’t affect the way , they work this weekend on.
Pereira said that Chiefs was a big team and that they are teaching penalties for their players. Their number of fake starts are smaller and the sanctions for this ILK team are working to eliminate.
Pereira talked about how the NFL team will prepare for crews, but it is a little different to prepare for the Super Bowl crew.
“You know this is also different because teams are preparing for crews, but this is not a crew, this is an all-star crew. So they have come from seven different herds, so it is kind of impossible to judge where They might be lean, “Pereira said.

“Look, the parity in terms of the number of errors called this year is closer than I think I’ve ever seen it before. But you have different, you have 128 people, they don’t have the same verdict. So It is difficult to teach consistency or to expect consistency throughout.
There is one thing Pereira will see from the officials of the big game.
“All I love is, you know what is that they call in the fourth quarter in the same way they call the road in the first quarter.”
With that said, Pereira said he does not want to speak at all during the broadcast.
