Just be careful with the inflammatory language there. I agree that it's frustrating, but to call the referees distracted should be very far from the truth, and taken as a little bit of unnecessary "taunting" (for lack of a better word).
That being said: I can't say for sure, but I might be thinking about trying something involving replay at the local offseason out here. Too many variables need to fall into place, though, to make a call one way or the other at this point--including who ends up being the head ref at that event.
