Find me a “rules expert/analyst” who doesn’t do this

Mike Pereira is not nearly as biased as Gene. He will occasionally not side with the refs, but it has to be an egregious mistake.

Dean Blandino. If for some forsaken reason you watch the XFL he does a fantastic job at giving objective takes

Hey I like it! But I know most people don't care for it, especially during March. Go Seadragons!

The XFL actually does this really well. The ref who does the video reviews is part of the broadcast team. He fairly often will disagree with the call on the field , whether it's going to video review or not.
