Barnett Files Grievance
He clearly wasn't happy when the Ref took him down from behind, playing favorites to the Bears O-line. See the video on YouTube
here
He has filed a grievance against the Ref through his Agent, Chuck Price. Here is the story.
I don't know how much of a distraction this will be, as it was towards the end of an already upsetting loss to the Bears.
Its tough to defend yourself against a cheap shot by a dirty lineman, but how do you defense against an Referee coming at you from behind?

Its the principal
"This guy comes with a WWF choke hold, and just gets let go," Price said. ---
He's right. The officials feel like they can do anything, and the NFL allows this mentality. You know the NFL is the only pro sports league without a FT officiating crew?
I realize its funny to joke about, since Barnett is a big strong guy, and Jim looks like, well, what he is, a fat, pasty senior citizen, but lets say this guy causes Nick an eye injury, or he bends his leg backwards and tears a tendon.. I mean, WTF was this guy thinking??

Another thing...I highly doubt Barnett was prepared to be put in a chokehold from one of the players, much less an umpire who should know better...hes only the field to regulate/control the game...not to try to cause fights and stuff.
Barnett also said that the umpire was pretty much choking him and he cuoldnt really do much...I doubt any of us here are going to get out of a choke hold by one of the NFL Referees.
