It was just a month ago that the league and owners voted to give Vice President of Officiating Dean Blandino unprecedented and unilateral power over making the final decision as to the results of plays that were chosen to go under review. Now evidently it will be just a month or so more that he remains in his role as he pursues a new career in broadcasting.

Blandino is reportedly actually slated to join the Fox broadcasting team to pair up once again with his former boss, Mike Pereira, who like Blandino after him served a distinguished career as the Vice President of Officiating before vacating the position to pursue a more lucrative opportunity in broadcasting.
