The NFL made huge news this offseason , allowing all
replays to be controlled by the league office in New
York. It put VP of Officiating Dean Blandino front and
center as one of the most powerful men in football. And
then .That left the league with a major void, both in
terms of leadership and in terms of a friendly face to
put on camera when explaining why insert your team got

Jersey the officials. The , although it the league
had known Blandino was leaving.On Wednesday, the league
announced it had filled those voids.For starters, Alberto
Riveron, who was Blandino's top lieutenant, will take
over Blandino's job as VP of Officiating."Al has done a
terrific job as a key member of our officiating staff for
the past four seasons," NFL commi sioner Roger Goodell
said in a statement
diamondbacks-jersey/chris-owings-jersey">Chris Owings
Jersey . "Prior to that, Al was an outstanding on-
field official who earned the respect of his fellow
officials, as well as coaches and players alike. To have
Al leading our officiating department, and then to add
talented, knowledgeable instant replay and officiating
experts like Ru sell and Wayne, is a tremendous positive
for us as we look forward to the 2017 season." Riveron,
a native of Cuba, who was named the first Hispanic
referee in 2008, served as an official for four years
before joining the league's officiating department.He
will report to Troy Vincent, who serves as VP of Football
Operations but will have two lieutenants of his own who
report to him.First up, there is Ru sell Yurk, who was
named VP of Instant Replay and Administration. It sure
sounds like Yurk will be the "face of replay" for

Jersey the NFL on gamedays, when NFL Network and
the public at large require explanations as to why
certain calls were made. According to the league, Yurk
will "direct the league's instant replay operations in
the Art McNally GameDay Central room and oversee all
instant replay-related personnel." That sure sounds like
someone who is in charge of the replay operation

Jersey .Consider this too: back in April, that
Riveron "is not regarded as comfortable with" having to
be the face of officiating in terms of television and
social media. So it would make sense that Yurk would be
the guy to put his best face forward.The league also
announced the addition of Wayne Mackie as Vice President
of Officiating Evaluation and Development, which appears
to be a position designed to take some of the stre s off
leadership trying to develop referees. Mackie, according
to the league, will be "responsible for the officiating
evaluation and development program, managing the on-field
officials weekly crew evaluation proce s, as well the
staff of officiating supervisors and trainers, and the
management of the Officiating Development
Program."According to the release, all three
diamondbacks-jersey/madison-bumgarner-jersey">Madison
Bumgarner Jersey men will "work in GameDay Central
throughout the season and have the final say on instant
replay decisions" while consulting with the head referee
working the game in question.No one knows how these three
gentlemen will perform in their respective positions, but
the NFL adding more structure and more transparency to
the leadership group in terms of officiating is a plus.
Additionally, easing the burden on the guys making the
decisions during actual football -- by having multiple
people at the ready when it comes to replay and by having
someone in charge of officiating development -- is a
logical move as well.
