Referee Walt Anderson's blunder during Bills-Seahawks game must be addressed

Walt Anderson was hollering, "The half is not over!" again and again. And all I could think of was that scene in "Animal House" when Donald Sutherland, portraying an aggrieved college professor, told students scurrying out of his class: "Listen, I'm not joking! This is my job!"

Anderson blundered through the most ridiculous officiating sequence of the NFL season Monday night. Given how quickly the NFL admitted his most egregious mistake, it's fair to wonder what else might be in store for the veteran referee and his crew.

There is little doubt Anderson will receive a poor grade for his performance just before halftime in the Seattle Seahawks' 31-25 victory over the Buffalo Bills.
