NFL official hits Raiders with a shot

LA Times: Amy Trask, chief executive of the Oakland Raiders, and Mike Pereira, NFL vice president in charge of officiating, were part of a seven-member panel at the Los Angeles Sports and Entertainment Commission’s NFL 101/201 charity event last week at the Coliseum.

Pereira, talking about the complaints he gets on Monday mornings, said, “One time last year I really got blown up over a pass-interference call we missed at the end of a game that may have cost a team a victory. I was really tempted to mention the six turnovers earlier in the game.”

Said Trask: “That’s so not the point. After 59 minutes and you are in position to win a game …”

Interjected Pereira with a laugh: “And you haven’t been in that position a lot the past four years.”
