It is just a game, relax fans.
I could see if Sean Payton ran up on them, but this is crazy.
The NFL officiating crew that worked the NFC championship game was moved to a different suburban hotel Sunday night, after being harassed both in person and even by cellphone at their first downtown hotel, Postmedia has learned.
According to multiple witnesses, who agreed to share what they saw and learned in exchange for anonymity, a half-dozen or more yellow-jacketed event security staff, plus NFL security personnel as well as at least one local law-enforcement officer, escorted the game officials off a bus and to the front desk of the second hotel, to check in.
There, in an otherwise near empty lobby, one game official (not referee Bill Vinovich) continually received harassing cellphone calls, multiple witnesses told Postmedia, including a hotel guest from San Antonio.
Finally, a sheriff officer took the cellphone from the beleaguered official and ordered the caller to cease, or face prosecution.
Flip the page for the play that has them so salty.
