One of the perks of leading an NFL officiating crew is getting some TV time. The referee frequently appears on camera throughout a game when announcing a penalty.
Referee Alex Kemp is working Week 2’s Seahawks–Lions matchup and called Seattle quarterback Geno Smith for an intentional grounding violation early in the fourth quarter. Such a penalty is always costly but with the Seahawks driving toward a go-ahead touchdown, Smith took issue with the call.
Unfortunately, he argued with Kemp while the referee was announcing the call to the Ford Field crowd and Fox TV audience.

The Ravens ruled out wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. with an ankle injury against the Bengals on Sunday. It’s unclear how Beckham suffered the injury, but it looks like the veteran once again can’t escape the injury bug.
The 30-year-old made his long-awaited return to the NFL from an ACL tear last week in his debut with Baltimore, where he caught two passes for 37 yards and was looking to build off the momentum in Week 2. But his day came to an end with just three catches for 29 yards in Cincinnati.
Rumors came out this week that Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was “quietly hanging out” with pop singer Taylor Swift, according to Lanae Brody and Christina Dugan Ramirez of The Messenger.
The potential new couple has been the talk of the pop culture world all week. So, since Kelce made his regular season debut on Sunday vs. the Jaguars, the dating rumor was expected to be another big topic of conversation.
When Kelce scored a nine-yard touchdown in the second half, CBS announcer Ian Eagle knew exactly what to say.
“Kelce finds a blank space for the score,” Eagle said.
Los Angeles Rams RB Cam Akers is just as confused by his healthy scratch today as everyone else.
The former FSU star has apparently been benched by Sean McVay after a pretty solid Week 1, with the Rams officially making his inactive just minutes ago.
Kyren Williams will presumably be the starting RB moving forward, with Jay Glazer reporting this morning Akers could be on the trade block.
Apparently, it’s all news to Akers, too!
I’m just as confused as everybody else.
Former NFL player Sergio Brown is missing and his mother, Myrtle, is dead, according to FOX 2 in Illinois. Brown, a former defensive back, played seven seasons in the NFL for the New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills. He retired following the 2016 season.
According to the FOX 2 report: “Maywood Police said they were informed by family members Saturday that they could not find or make contact with 73-year-old Myrtle Brown or her son, 35-year-old Sergio Brown.
There have been a number of people who openly criticized the Colorado football program, Deion Sanders, and various players during their hot start to the season. But as ‘Coach Prime’ himself has repeated over and over again, they keep receipts.
Former NFL player and current analyst Danny Kanell was one of many to find out the likelihood that you’ll get a response if you have a negative mention of Colorado on your social media timeline.
Jones scored the Bengals’ first TD of the season.
Six quarters into the 2023 NFL season, Cincinnati Bengals fans are DONE with head coach Zac Taylor.
That’s right. Forget the Super Bowl appearance two years ago. Forget the run last season. The hell with it all.
The offense STINKS. Joe Burrow is WASHED. And Zac Taylor needs to be left on the tarmac, Lane Kiffin style.
Not my words! Don’t shoot the messenger.
Cincinnati looked just dreadful last week, and the Bengals STILL don’t have an offensive score this season two more quarters into today’s showdown with the Ravens.
Yes, the team trails 13-10 at the half.
Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears are trying to get their first win of the season Sunday against the Buccaneers, but one major problem keeps popping up for the QB in Sunday’s game – he can’t get the ball out of his hand in time.
Fields, who is in his third year in the NFL, took four ugly sacks in the first half against Tampa Bay. While he was able to run for a touchdown in the first quarter, he has been driving fans a little nuts by not making plays in the pocket.
